Vitamin C (aka L-ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble vitamin, which plays an important role in the human body. In addition, vitamin C gives excellent results when applied topically to the skin. It is one of the ideal ingredients to get involved in your skin care routine and the reasons are numerous. Fun Fact: Vitamin C is my favorite ingredient in skin care.
How does vitamin C help the skin?
First, vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant. The role of antioxidants is to protect the skin from free radicals that are found everywhere and damage the skin barrier. The damage they cause to the skin translates into loss of skin vitality, spots, streaks, wrinkles and other signs of age. Vitamin C applied to the skin neutralizes free radicals before damaging the skin barrier. For this reason, the vitamin is considered an excellent ingredient preventing signs of age.
Second, vitamin C is a factor that affects the production of collagen which is a key ingredient in skin elasticity. Collagen production decreases over time and is one of the factors influencing the appearance of wrinkles. Vitamin C increases its synthesis in the skin.
Third, vitamin C is a key ingredient that fights hyperpigmentation on the skin. It slows down the synthesis of melanin in the skin, gives results in fading the marks left by acne, smoothing the skin tone and improving the texture of the skin.
Vitamin C is an ideal ingredient to use during the day routine, below the sunscreen as a protective layer against environmental stressors and UV rays.
This vitamin is an ingredient that can be gradually introduced to the skin not starting with very high concentrations to avoid irritations, however it is not considered as an ingredient with high irritation potential. Can be used daily on the skin and accompanied by sunscreen during the day routine.
Nisur nga fakti që është një përbërës jo shumë i qëndrueshëm, oksidohet lehtësisht, prandaj nëse serumet tuaja marrin ngjyrë të errët, është shenjë që nuk duhen përdorur më. Përgjithësisht, serumet me antioksidantë ruhen në shishe të errëta dhe duhen vendosur në vende jo të ekspozuara në dritë, pa lagështirë dhe të freskëta.
