If you have a daily skincare routine that does not contain vitamin C, you are missing out on a powerful element. While some skincare products are passing fads, vitamin C serums are here to stay for one simple reason – they actually do something. Let’s take a closer look at vitamin C and what makes it an essential part of your skincare routine.
What Is Vitamin C?
When most people think about vitamin C, it may conjure the memory of a tart chewable vitamin your parents made you take as a kid before you went to school. In more recent years, effervescent vitamin C remedies have been developed to promote immune system health. However, few people recognize vitamins for being anything more than a daily supplement.
This is something that really sets vitamin C apart. It is actually a very powerful antioxidant! Now that is a word we have all learned when it comes to everything from skincare to health in general. Antioxidants fight free radicals in the body. Free radicals are associated with oxidative stress, illness, aging, cancer – basically, free radicals are damaged molecules. Clearly, anything that can help to fight against free radicals is going to be good for you, especially for your skin.
Why Is Vitamin C a Must?
Published research reveals that vitamin C can actually help your skin to combat the effects of aging, the development of sun damage, and more. This antioxidant actually has properties that heal damaged skin. So it is not just for prevention but also for repairs. Vitamin C is actually a pretty powerful acid as well, so your skin gets to work producing elastic and collagen naturally to combat it. This can help your body to produce what your skin needs to maintain its firmness. It reduces the risk of developing new wrinkles and fine lines. At the same time, collagen production creates an antiaging effect.
Another benefit of vitamin C is that it can help even your skin tone. It naturally reduces melanin production without affecting the actual tone of your skin. Therefore, dark spots are less likely to form. Your skin may even gain a healthy glow, another indicator of youthful vigor.
