vitamin c skincare
Our bodies need vitamin c for healthy skin and gums. The deficiency of vitamin C leads to scurvy, which killed many sailors on long voyages before this vitamin was discovered. After that, ships carried a supply of citrus fruit so that everyone on board could get the much needed daily vitamin C to stay healthy. Hence, eating fruit and vegetables, drinking your orange juice and taking vitamin C supplements has become part of a healthy diet.
Now people are smearing vitamin C creams and lotions on their faces in a bid to slow down aging. How does that work?
Vitamin C is an antioxidant. It neutralizes free radicals which would otherwise damage your cells. The damage sustained by cell membranes and DNA from the bombardment of free radicals is believed to cause aging. At very least, increasing your skin"s supply of antioxidants would delay premature aging from the effect of these free radicals.
Vitamin C can be introduced to the skin through what you eat -- fruit (especially citrus fruit, berries and rose hips) and vegetables are rich in this precious nutrient. There are lots of vitamin C supplements you can take to ensure you get sufficient vitamin C.
Besides fighting the free radicals, vitamin C fights aging as it aids the skin in the production of collagen. When you are young, skin is fresh, dewy and line free because the collagen supports your skin and your skin is plump with moisture. As you grow older, your collagen production declines and you have less collagen to support your skin, leading to saggy skin and wrinkles. Vitamin C is needed for collagen production.
