Vitamin C – Here’s Why We Love This Skin-Brightening Ingredient

Something that should be part of every morning skincare routine is an antioxidant. This is because they protect our skin from free-radical damage, which is caused by things ranging from air pollution to sun damage. While there are several to choose from, vitamin C is powerful and by far the most popular. Here’s why…

Take your vitamins

Of all the antioxidants we can use on our skin, vitamin C is highly recommended as part of our morning regimen. While it can be used at night as well, its best quality is that it protects skin from free-radical damage during the course of the day. The result? Fewer fine lines and wrinkles and clear, glowing skin that is free from sun spots and hyperpigmentation.

You might hear dermatologists and skincare gurus referring to this vitamin as unstable. This means that if it is exposed to light and oxygen, its efficacy can decrease so you don’t get the same results. As such, it usually comes in a dark container to keep light out and it should be stored away from direct sunlight. This will keep the formula effective. Because when you know better, you glow better!
