Using vitamin C can help in facial rejuvenation, helping you to reduce the signs of ageing and have a glowing complexion. Wondering why?
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and is found in the skin normally. Young skin is abundant in Vitamin C, but as we age we can lose up to 70%. UV radiation also depletes the skin of Vitamin C. UV radiation is the biggest free radical in the ageing process and can also lead to cancers. However, research has suggested that sunscreen only blocks 55% of the free radicals produced by UVR. Therefore, to optimise UV protection, it is important to apply a powerful antioxidant as a second line of defence-this is where our old friend Vitamin C comes in.
Did you know, that Vitamin C can also help to build and strengthen collagen? So using Vitamin C as part of your daily routine can actually help to reduce wrinkles! Another benefit is that it can help to reduce pigmentation by decreasing melanin production (this is the tricky fella that can lead to melasma or hyper-pigmentation).
Lastly, it is really useful for general skin health, in reducing inflammation and supporting the immune system. All in all, pretty amazing stuff, right?! So can I just buy any old one? Maybe not. Here are some guidelines to help you choose wisely:
• Vitamin C is light sensitive, so if it has turned an orange or brownish colour, it will not be working.
• Try and find a brand in a dark bottle and make sure you put the lid straight on after using.
• Buy in smaller quantities if possible, to keep as fresh as possible, or buy the separate sachets.
• It really likes being with its good friend Vitamin E-they complement each other in protecting the cells, so finding a combined product is a great idea.
So that’s it, guys! Add Vitamin C to your skin care regimen and help give your skin a boost today. If anyone is interested in the science bit or would like some references, let me know-I love the opportunity to geek out and share my resources!

With the increasing popularity of CBD products, more and more people are turning to these products to solve sleep problems and other health problems. I advise you to read about full spectrum cbd oil. The most important thing is that you will not have side effects if you are not careful, unlike any supplements.
