Vitamin C
the breakfast cereal for our skin
Vitamin C has long been a hero skin ingredient, here’s why ….
- It provides an excellent antioxidant shield over our skin, making it perfect for daytime use
- It inhibits the production of an enzyme tyrosinase, to lighten hyperpigmentation, dark spots and even our skin tone
- It helps to repair capillary walls, reducing redness, and keeps them strong to prevent future redness. Capillaries provide blood, oxygen and nutrients to our skin, all essential for strong healthy skin.
- Its a collagen precursor (this is a good thing). Collagen is a naturally occurring protein in our skin, that depletes over time. Vitamin C encourages & maintains good quality collagen production, for healthy, strong skin – fighting those fine lines and wrinkles !
Vitamin C can be tricky to produce due to its sensitivity to light & oxygen, therefore its best to invest in a good quality serum, and once open keep your serum out of direct sunlight and heat.
