IMPROVE YOUR COMPLEXION WITH VITAMIN C ENRICHED SKINCARE

Brighter, smoother & younger-looking skin with Vitamin C care

We all know that Vitamin C is an essential nutrient in the food we eat. However, do you know that Vitamin C is also a wonder molecule for complexion care! Skincare experts have even termed it as the Holy Grail of skincare as it has skin brightening, firming and anti-aging benefits. Here is a look at how to make Vitamin C work for your skin.

Dullness, patchiness, fine lines, age spots, uneven skin tone, acne marks, and blemishes are some of the most common skin complexion issues for most of us. The good news is that with most of these issues, Vitamin C helps when used as a part of a committed skincare regimen via Vitamin C enriched products.

What’s Vitamin C

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin that’s one of the essential nutrients needed by the body. Inside the body, Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant that scavenges harmful free radicals and protects cells and tissues from damage. Lack of sufficient Vitamin C in diet reflects in skin fragility and impaired wound healing. 

Vitamin C and Skin

Vitamin C is naturally present in the skin. Its main function in the skin is to protect from free radical damage caused by the sun’s ultraviolet rays and pollution, and also to stimulate collagen and elastin (the two proteins needed for skin’s firmness) synthesis to improve skin’s elasticity and strength. In simple words, Vitamin C is needed for two major skin benefits: your skin’s elasticity is maintained, and your skin is shielded from free radical damage due to pollution and sun exposure. Point to note: as most of the skin’s problems are due to free radical damage and collagen loss, Vitamin C is an exception skin rejuvenation solution.

Vitamin C in Skincare Products

Vitamin C is a preferred ingredient in skincare products as it:

• Aids skin’s plumpness and firmness
• Reduces premature skin aging signs
• Reduces age spots and hyperpigmentation
• Brightens skin tone and reduces dullness

There are multiple skincare products enriched with Vitamin C available in the market. We advise looking for products from reputed brands (like WOW Skin Science) and also choosing those products that will be best available for penetration into the skin.

Face Serum & Skin Toner: Two Skincare Products for Best Vitamin C Benefits

To do its work and deliver skin benefits, your Vitamin C enriched skincare product has to penetrate and get absorbed. The best two products for this action are skin toner and face serum.

Skin toner is applied right after cleansing when the skin’s pores are still open. This lets Vitamin C get into pores and start work on skin improvement.

A serum is a concentrated product meant to deliver rich doses of active ingredients to the skin. Face serum with Vitamin C is the best way to let your skin receive maximum benefits.
