You’ve been hearing about Vitamin C since kindergarten–probably even before that. And truth is, Vitamin C is necessary for the growth, development, and repair of all body tissues. Taken as a supplement, it’s a strong antioxidant that may reduce the risk of chronic diseases, battle high blood pressure, fight heart disease risk factors, and even help prevent gout attacks.
But why does your SKIN need Vitamin C?
To understand the concept of skin health as it relates to Vitamin C, let’s start with the free radical.
A free radical is a molecule that has at least one unpaired electron. Stay with us, this is important! The unpaired free radical, in a mad search for a partner, often attaches itself to the cell membrane (skin) causing cells to die. Outwardly, that looks like premature aging, dullness, discoloration, and some other signs of unhealthy skin.
Here's the really important part: Vitamin C is credited with protecting skin from free radicals.
But where do free radicals come from?
These lonely, unpaired electrons are caused by a variety of factors–UV ray exposure, poor diet, stress, smoking, pollution–even (some) skincare. Those are all things you can control and protect against. There are some things you can’t control–like genetics. The good news is, Vitamin C can help neutralize the damage caused by free radicals–in addition to some amazing other benefits.
The bonus benefits of Vitamin C.
In addition to cleaning up behind the free radicals, Vitamin C also:
- Promotes collagen production to help skin look more youthful (diminishes the appearance of wrinkles)
- Reduces redness/inflammation by helping to repair the tissue and soothe irritated skin
- Helps brighten hyperpigmentation and dark spots (also helps with dark circles!)
- Helps strengthen the skin to guard against UV exposure (TIP: Vitamin C can also help boost your sunscreen’s effectiveness)
- Helps even skin tone, significantly improve hydration, and shield skin from the visible impact of pollution (those free radicals again!)
When to use Vitamin C.
Daily. And here’s how.
