CHEAT YOUR AGE - TAKE A DECADE OFF OF YOUR FACE
It really is possible to reverse the damage to your skin which has accumulated over the years. It is as easy as applying Vitamin C to your face! Here are just a few benefits of adding a topical, Professional Strength Vitamin C to your skin.
The Secret of Vitamin C
VitaminC is critical for your body and plays an important role in maintaining healthy,resilient skin. While young skin is full of vitamin C, aging skin naturally
loses this nutrient over time. Other factors like exposure to UV light,
pollutants and cigarette smoke compound the decline of vitamin C, contributing
to signs of aging. The good news is that you can fight back by replenishing
your skin’s vitamin C levels to help to combat and even reverse time’s effect
on your face.
Wrinkles
One
of the most powerful functions of vitamin C is its role in the production of
collagen, a protein that gives your skin its elasticity. As we age, collagen
breaks down and wrinkles begin to form. Stabilizing your skin’s levels of
vitamin C can help to counteract wrinkle formation by increasing collagen
production.
Age
Spots
When
it comes to treating age spots, you don’t need chemical peels and lasers – it
turns out that vitamin C can give you almost the same results! Age spots are
essentially sun damage, and vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, shown to
reduce the number of sunburned cells as well as reverse age-related damage to
skin. While it’s not a replacement for sunscreen, vitamin C protects against
and may repair UV damage like discoloration and fine lines. This is amazing news to our skin!
Your
Anti-Aging Rx
Taking
vitamin C through a supplement or food is extremely beneficial to your health, but to
specifically target signs of aging on your face, a topical vitamin C is best. In
fact, applying vitamin C to the skin can be 20 times more effective than taking
it orally. Look for products that contain between 3% and 10% of vitaminC and include the active ingredient ascorbic acid or L-ascorbic acid.
Apply
topical vitamin C once a day, ideally after you’ve exfoliated in the morning to
utilize vitamin C’s sun-protecting properties. On rare occasions, topical
vitamin C can cause some mild dryness or flaking. Counteract this side effect
with a moisturizer. This topical nutrient is safe to combine with all your
other skin care products and even works synergistically with other
antioxidants. For a super powerful anti-aging punch, combine vitamins C and E
together.
The length of time from when you start using vitamin C until you see results varies with each person. While some people see changes within days of using it, others may see a difference up to 6-8 weeks. After around 6 months, you’ll reach the maximum benefits.
