Vitamin C: how to incorporate it into your beauty routine?
The star of antioxidant skin care, vitamin C promises a luminous complexion and regenerated skin. But how do you use it effectively to maximize its benefits?
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, has become a must-have in beauty routines. Known primarily for its antioxidant properties, it effectively combats the free radicals responsible for premature skin aging. It also helps to lighten the complexion, reduce acne scars and reduce hyperpigmentation. Yet its use is more complex than it seems.
Why is vitamin C good for the skin?
Vitamin C is the most abundant antioxidant naturally present in the skin. It plays an essential role in the production of collagen, a crucial protein that ensures our skin’s firmness and elasticity. By stimulating this production, it helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while improving the overall appearance of the complexion.
Another special feature of vitamin C is that it is water-soluble, meaning it cannot be stored in the body. It is therefore necessary to take this vitamin on a daily basis, either through the diet or by external application in the form of skin care products.
Pay attention to the stability of your serum
Despite its many virtues, the principle has one major weakness: its instability. It is particularly sensitive to light, heat and air, which rapidly reduce its effectiveness. It is therefore crucial to choose your serum or cream with care, favoring opaque or hermetically sealed packaging and formulations designed to guarantee optimal efficacy.
Moreover, vitamin C is difficult for the skin to absorb, which is why it’s so important to select high-quality, well-formulated skin care products.
