[ad_1]

Are you already familiar with the miraculous effect of vitamin C? Skin therapists and beauty connoisseurs swear by vitamin C, as it boosts collagen production and helps reduce signs of skin aging. In addition, the vitamin can help protect the skin against future skin aging. Enough reasons to add vitamin C to your skincare routine! The Van Rosmalenkliniek tells you more about the effect of this powerful vitamin in this blog.

What is Vitamin C?

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and one of the best anti-aging ingredients. The human body does not make vitamin C itself, but you can get it from your diet. Vitamin C can be found in citrus fruits and vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower and bell peppers.Besides the fact that vitamin C intake has many health benefits, it is a popular ingredient in skincare products. When you eat food with vitamin C, you only get a small percentage of vitamin C. Another smaller part of the vitamin C that you eat actually reaches the skin. High concentrations of vitamin C are therefore used in skincare products, which ensures that the vitamin C is well absorbed by the skin.

Scientifically proven

Vitamin C helps calm inflammation in your skin, reduce pigmentation (such as dark spots), and even boost your skin’s collagen production. And as you know, collagen keeps our skin firm and taut. Many ingredients in skincare products are said to have an effect on collagen production, but vitamin C has actually been proven to have a direct effect on collagen production.

Vitamin C serums: a strong antioxidant

If you are looking for quality skincare products with vitamin C, you will mainly find them in the form of a serum. Serums are skin care formulas, which are specifically intended for a specific skin problem. Serums are made up of smaller molecules than, for example, a cream, so that they can penetrate deeper into the skin. A serum with a high concentration (10-15%) vitamin C protects the skin against atmospheric skin aging caused by free radicals, UVA and UVB, visible light, infrared radiation and ozone pollution. Vitamin C is a strong antioxidant. An antioxidant neutralizes free radicals. Mo wrote before about free radicals and the importance of a good antioxidant. Free radicals and UV radiation cause our skin to age. By using an antioxidant, you can prevent skin aging caused by these external factors.

What else does vitamin C do for your skin?

In addition to the protective effect of this strong antioxidant, a vitamin C serum also improves the appearance of the skin. Do you suffer from uneven skin tone, rough structure, fine lines, acne scars, or dull skin? Vitamin C is a real powerhouse that can help against all these skin complaints. Fine lines fade, pigmentation spots brighten and the overall skin tone improves. Once absorbed through the skin, a vitamin C serum remains effective for at least 72 hours. With regular use of an antioxidant, it helps to firm the skin and brighten the complexion.
