As we get older and the regeneration properties of our skin begin to break down, the skin starts to show the first signs of aging; we lose moisture, tension, and elasticity. This natural aging process is only accelerated by exposure to the sun and free radicals, which damage skin cells.

Here are the top 5 reasons everyone should have a high quality Vitamin C product in their skincare arsenal.
 

1. Prevents Signs Of Aging

As it’s a potent antioxidant, it helps to keep wrinkles and skin dryness at bay by fighting free radical damage. 

 

2. It Protects Your Skin From Sun Damage

Vitamin C not only helps to prevent UV damage, acting like a mild natural sunscreen, it also helps to fade signs of damage already done by the sun due to it’s powerful free radical fighting properties.

 

3. It Firms And Tightens Your Skin

Vitamin C is necessary for the production of collagen, which helps gives skin its firmness and tone. When the skin is deficient in collagen, it becomes dull and lifeless. Having enough Vitamin C is essential to ensure you’re producing enough collagen for healthy skin.

 

4. It Helps Repair Any Blemishes

The body uses Vitamin C to replace damaged tissue, helping to heal wounds such as cuts, bruises and acne-related blemishes.

 

5. Silky Smooth Skin

Without enough nutrients the skin becomes rough and dry. Creams/serums containing Vitamin C improve the appearance and texture of skin as it increases elasticity, which thickens, protects and heals skin cells. The thickening effect helps to retain moisture, increases skin circulation and plumps up the skin surface.
