VITAMIN C AND YOUR SKIN

Beautiful, healthy skin is a much sought-after trait in our society. Many of you are still young, fresh and more than likely wrinkle-free however, it is never to early or late to start a preventative skin care regimen. "C" your way to healthy skin.

What does Vitamin C do for the skin?

Vitamin C is known for it's antioxidant and healing properties. Each day our skin is exposed to pollutants, dirt and debris leading to free radical damage. Many of you are asking, "What is free radical damage?" Free Radical damage in simple terms is when the cells within your body are attacked which then interferes with the cells ability to function properly. The cell is no longer able to remain healthy and plump which keeps the skin soft and wrinkle free. There are many reasons as to why the skin ages however, free radical damage is one of the main causes of aging and skin damage which effects the way your body produces collagen. This is where Vitamin C comes in.

Researchers have reported that collagen within the body was stimulated to produced up to 8 times more when it is exposed to Vitamin C. That's what I call a cocktail! Vitamin C also helps diminish the signs of age spots which occur from the effects of sun damage. Age spots usually appear topically or even down into the lower layers of your skin known as the "Dermis". No matter where they appear, keep aware of their growth, size and coloring. These darker spots that you have seen pop up out of nowhere will one day only worsen if you do not start taking proper care of them now. This is why it is important to double up on your dosages of Vitamin C.
