WHY IS VITAMIN C VITAL TO YOUR SKINCARE ?

Vitamin C has lots of benefits such as balancing skin tone, reducing hyperpigmentation, and reducing the signs of aging.

Votamin c is an antioxidant this means that it reduces the damage that free radicals may otherwise inflict on the body. Free radicals are particles that cause inflammation.

• reducing premature cell death
• reducing the release of cytokines, which are inflammatory compounds
• reducing damage resulting from exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light

Vitamin C also helps reduce premature wrinkling by stimulating the growth of collagen. Collagen is a protein that provides structure and elasticity to the skin.

Some people apply topical vitamin C to treat hyperpigmentation. These are areas of skin that appear darker than the surrounding area. Sun exposure or hormonal changes linked with aging usually cause these darker areas.

Researchers theorize that vitamin C may help reduce melanin production.

Melanin is a pigment responsible for the darker appearance of hyperpigmented areas. By reducing its production, a person may help reduce the appearance of darker areas.
