What vitamin C can do for the skin
The benefits of vitamin C for our bodies and nutritional health is a more common topic of conversation than the benefits of vitamin C and how it can enhance skin health. We know that vitamin C promotes healthy bones and teeth, boosts overall immunity and it even assists to lower blood pressure.
The primary function of the skin is to act as a barrier against free radicals. The skin is composed of two layers: the epidermal outer layer which provides the barrier function, and the inner dermal layer ensures strength and elasticity while providing nutrients to the epidermis. The skin contains high concentrations of vitamin C, which are known to stimulate collagen synthesis and assist in antioxidant protection against UV-induced sun damage.

Assists in wound healing.
The body uses vitamin C to replace damaged skin tissue which helps wounds heal properly
What makes topical vitamin C preparations so important?
We all lack the ability to produce the vitamin C that is so vital for beautiful, healthy skin. To make things even more challenging, vitamin C is water-soluble, and the majority of vitamin C that we ingest gets excreted quickly. The most effective method to replenish vitamin C in the skin is to apply it directly to the skin.
Topical antioxidants produce much higher concentrations in the skin than nutritional supplements. By applying vitamin C to the skin daily, can achieve optimal levels of skin health. It is also known that once a topical antioxidant is absorbed into the skin, it cannot be washed or rubbed off. Even if you stop application of vitamin C topically, a significant amount will remain in the skin for up to three days.
Rejuvenating the skin by constantly replenishing vitamin C can help maintain healthy, younger-looking skin, especially as we get older.
