Vitamin C and skincare
Vitamin C’s main job as a skincare antioxidant is to recycle vitamin E, which is important on the outside of the body as well as on the inside. Recent studies show that vitamin C may be able to stimulate the growth of new collagen (link).
Applying vitamin C directly to the skin will help restore skin tone, plump up wrinkles, and fill in small lines, giving your skin a more youthful appearance. The blood supply to the skin is also improved, giving that youthful and healthy glow we all want. Vitamin C creams and lotions can minimize fine lines, reduce wrinkles, and improve skin color and tone.
As is the case with vitamin E, vitamin C may be able to protect the skin from damage inflicted by UV (ultraviolet) light and to reduce the inflammation caused by UV exposure. Recent studies have shown that vitamin C can prevemt one of the mnost dangerous effects of UV exposure, namely the suppression on the immune system. Not only does vitamin C have a cosmetic effect og your skin, this antioxidant also offers serious protection against further damage. Using vitamin C with vitamin E will boost the effect of both antioxidants.
