We’ve made it through a long, challenging winter and it’s time to enjoy the fresh, new feeling of spring! With Vitamin C Day coming up on April 4, we’re excited to discuss how you can reveal a fresh, new complexion with the help of vitamin C. We all know it’s an essential part of any healthy diet because vitamin C helps strengthen your immune system, but did you know that your skin benefits greatly from vitamin C too?
We’re here to share our knowledge so you can take the best possible care of your skin and discover your radiantly healthy complexion this spring and for the long term.
What doesn’t vitamin C do?
You may be wondering what vitamin C does for your skin, but the question should really be “what doesn’t it do?” Vitamin C promotes collagen production by improving cell turnover and regeneration. As an antioxidant, it protects skin cells from damaging free radicals caused by UV exposure. Vitamin C also inhibits melanin production, helping to diminish hyperpigmentation, such as age spots and sunspots, and even out skin tone.
What are the benefits of including vitamin C in your skincare regimen?
Vitamin C has been shown to help:
● Repair and protect sun damaged skin
● Repair collagen loss
● Even out skin tone
● Reduce hyperpigmentation
● Diminish fine lines
● Achieve firmer, more youthful skin
