Summer plays all kinds of games with your skin. The heat and the sun can cause unfavorable conditions for our skin. The heat can either cause dryness or acne, while the sun can cause increased amounts of pigment formation and so much more!
It’s no wonder skin care companies push the sale of Vitamin C products. It’s responsible for many benefits, including the following:
Fights Free Radicals
Free radicals are cells and molecules that have been interrupted by something, causing a chain reaction or negative effect on those cells and molecules. Eventually, the activities and purpose of those cells and molecules begin to work towards regression. In other words, free radicals are also known as damaged cells.
Vitamin C is a form of antioxidant, which helps to replace electrons that are released from normal cells. With the help of Vitamin C, cells are kept in tact, reducing negatives effects, such as wrinkles, potentially cancer, and so many more unwanted issues.
Boosts Collagen Production
Collagen is responsible for making your skin look plump, healthy, and younger-looking. When collagen production slows down, wrinkles begin to take place.
Lightens Skin Naturally
Vitamin C inhibits the enzyme called tyrosine, which is responsible for the production of melanin. Melanin gives skin its dark color.
Aids in UV Defense
UV damage can cause free radicals. As we mentioned above, Vitamin C can protect the skin and the chain reaction of free radicals from taking place.
Vitamin C is available in topical as well as supplemental forms. When reading the ingredients, you will notice it as ascorbic acid.
There are many debates about the effects of ascorbic acid. It’s not actually Vitamin C, but a nutrient that works to supplement Vitamin C. Therefore, it can be ineffective if it’s found in its unstable form.
For the safest and most effective results produced by Vitamin C, we highly recommend the Vitamin C/Green Tea Serum and the Osmosis Catalyst AC 11, Catalyst, Catalyst Plus.
