Pack Some Vitamin-C in Your Skin Care Routine

April 28, 2016

We’ve all heard that taking vitamin C supplements can be beneficial to our health inside and out, but vitamin C can also benefit us when applied topically. That’s right! Continuous use of vitamin C in our skin care routines can diminish hyperpigmentation and increase collagen production, giving us a brighter, refreshed and more youthful complexion.

Because of the way it is molecularly structured, vitamin C is an effective agent in protecting the skin from free radicals. When your skin is exposed to UV light, superoxide ions, peroxide and singlet oxygen molecules are produced. Vitamin C can donate its electrons to neutralize these free radicals and prevent them from harming your skin.

While it comes in many forms, vitamin C is best used when combined with other ingredients, such as green tea, retinol and ascorbic acid. When you check the ingredients on a skin care product label, look for at least one of those three ingredients in addition to effective forms of vitamin C like sodium ascorbyl phosphate, ascorbyl palmitate and retinyl ascorbate.

Vitamin C is great for you skin! To learn more about what type of products and ingredients would be beneficial additions to your skincare routine, schedule an appointment with one of our skin care providers today by calling (865) 690-9467.
