If anyone mentions Vitamin C to me, I immediately think of oranges – Do you??
Anyway…Vitamin C is one of our most powerful antioxidants.
Vitamin C is vital for healthy immunity, healing and the production of collagen. With this point about collagen in mind, you can see why lots of anti-aging products claim that it is their main ingredient…
Unfortunately our bodies cannot produce Vitamin C itself, so we are
reliant on the supply we get from our fruit and vegetable dietary intake. Salad peppers provide us with lots more Vitamin C than oranges do.
The bad news is, out Vitamin C stores are destroyed by:
- Sunlight
- Smoking
- Pollution
- Stress
To help our skin, and to get the benefits mentioned above, we need to use a product which contains Vitamin C and apply it directly on to our skin daily.
Benefits of topical Vitamin C:
- Provides sun protection (Sun damage=premature ageing).
- Kills those free-radical hippies!
- Reduces redness.
- Increases your skins resistance against infection, ie cold sores.
- It is anti-inflammatory – therefore calms the skin.
What is also AMAZING about Vitamin C is that, in the correct formulation/product it can stay in the skin for 72 hours! With daily use you can rest assured that your skin has all-day-long (and-some) protection.
Can you see why I am a big fan? I do not leave home without wearing my topical antioxidant. No-way, Jose!
…And the answer is YES! I believe topical Vitamin C can protect us against premature ageing and enables us to correct the signs of ageing.
