The UV rays and air pollution your skin is inevitably exposed to every day make your complexion lifeless and dull. The best way to keep the damage in check? Use a vitamin C serum.
The skincare benefits of vitamin C aren’t a new idea. In fact, the antioxidant has been studied deeply since its discovery in the 1930s. Google it. You’ll get 4.5 million results.
What do we need to know about it? Four things. 1) It’s powerful. It sweeps up skin-damaging free radicals that form because of pollutants and stress. It’s like your skin’s own little vacuum cleaner, but from within. 2) It controls melanin production, which means less hyper pigmentation. Fewer dark spots mean a more even, radiant complexion – that glow, you know. 3) It promotes collagen production. More collagen = firmer, less saggy skin. 4) It’s said to help skin repair itself and strengthen its barrier. Skin stays hydrated, and doesn’t get irritated or break out as often.
