It’s no secret that British sailors used it to stop scurvy centuries ago and it’s used worldwide to support our immune systems. Don’t underestimate the benefits of vitamin C face creams and your diet.
Did you know it also helps to build and maintain healthy teeth, bone, joints, cartilage and gums?
That’s not all.
Some of the lesser known benefits of vitamin C make it an essential ingredient for skin care and face creams. New research suggests that it could help reverse DNA damage and help prevent the consequences of long-term sun exposure.
Facts about vitamin C
Here’s the science bit...
It’s a key component in the creation of the protein collagen. Vitamin C face cream can help the skin retain its firmness, strength and elasticity.
It’s also known as ascorbic acid. When shopping for vitamin C skin care products, make sure L-ascorbic acid is one of the ingredients on the label. It’s the most common and functional forms of vitamin C when it comes to promoting the production of collagen and providing UV protection.
It’s an antioxidant that reduces the rate of damage caused by free radicals. These are basically unstable molecules that damage collagen and result in fine lines, wrinkles and dry skin. This specific quality makes vitamin C face cream a really effective tool when it comes to anti-aging.
This vitamin helps the body absorb and use iron, which carries oxygen around the body. Without sufficient oxygen, the body doesn’t have enough energy to repair itself and it won’t reap benefits of vitamin C.
Will any Vitamin C Face Cream work?
Interestingly, no.
One of the hard things about making vitamin C face creams is keeping it the vitamin C stable in the cream so that it can penetrate the skin. For it to work, the pH has to be very low and there has to be a concentration of 15%.
In order to reap the benefits of vitamin C you should try to a find a cream that guarantees this. Not all can.
