Ingredient Focus: Vitamin C

As the cold weather approaches, we often turn to Vitamin C to boost our immune system. But did you know that this incredible nutrient isn't just beneficial internally? In this article, we'll explore how Vitamin C can work wonders for your skin when incorporated into your skincare routine.

What is Vitamin C?

Vitamin C, scientifically known as L-ascorbic acid, is a potent antioxidant. You can find it in foods like oranges, kiwi, and broccoli, although dietary Vitamin C is not the same as the one used in skincare products. It's derived from various sources and can also be synthesized in laboratories. The Vitamin C used in skincare products is typically ascorbic acid.

- Brightening Skin Tone: Vitamin C helps fade dark spots and pigmentation, leaving your skin radiant by inhibiting melanin production.

- Fighting Free Radicals: Its antioxidant properties neutralize free radicals, protecting your skin from environmental damage.

- Boosting Collagen Production: Vitamin C stimulates collagen synthesis, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

- Healing Wounds: It promotes skin healing and reduces inflammation, making it ideal for post-shave or irritated skin.
