Ingredients to Love - Vitamin C
January 28, 2022 by Ana
Whether you are passionate about skincare or we just caught your attention with this topic, you probably heard about Vitamin C serums before and know now that this ingredient is considered one of the best anti-aging products available on the market.
But, if you haven’t introduced vitamin C serums to your routine yet, continue reading and find out why this miraculous element is key to maintaining a smooth and glowing complexion and how it can change your skincare game.
What is Vitamin C?
According to board-certified dermatologist Patricia Wexler, M.D., for our skin, Vitamin C is a powerful ingredient that acts as an antioxidant. Yes, you heard that right! Vitamin C has potent properties that can help your skin regenerate naturally.
So, antioxidants keep your skin cells and body healthy. How? They neutralize the production of highly reactive molecules we know as free radicals, causing the reduction or even prevention of the damage to your cells.
By consuming antioxidant-rich foods, for instance, you help your body fight off free radicals. Topical antioxidants, like Vitamin C, act the same way: help your skin fight daily aggressors like exposure to pollution or UV damage. This means we are not talking only about keeping signs of premature aging away but also helping in protecting skin from dangerous things like precancerous changes caused by sun exposure.
Top 5 Benefits of Vitamin C
Vitamin C for Waving Dark Spots Goodbye
Do you want to get rid of unwanted dark spots and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation?
Vitamin C is known for helping fade pigmentation, smooth the skin’s surface, and reduce dullness. Yes, ladies, Vitamin C can impede melanin ( the pigment responsible for skin color) production. So if you are interested in brightening annoying dark spots and have to give back your skin its youthful glow, Vitamin C can actually help!
Give Collagen Production a Good Boost
We always end up talking about collagen, don’t we? We even wrote a full blog about How to Slow Collagen Breakdown and you loved it! Well, it is what gives the support and structure our skin needs. However, we also know that it degrades with age, leaving us with lines and wrinkles.
Luckily we have a few ingredients that promote collagen production, and Vitamin C is one of the necessary compounds that build collagen bundles!
Protect Your Gorgeous Skin from Environmental Stressors!
We’ve already mentioned the strong protection against environmental stressors we get from Vitamin C. But it is such a powerful antioxidant, and its principal purpose is to protect the skin that we have to emphasize it. Free radicals damage your skin’s cells and promote wrinkles, skin dullness, and sometimes cancers. Vitamin C serums promise to scavenge the free radicals, protect your skin, and keep it healthy, all while improving signs of aging.
Less Under-eye Circles? Yes!
Vitamin C serums promise to plump and hydrate the under-eye area, smoothing out those fine lines you dislike so much. According to studies, it takes about four months of using Vitamin C to thicken the eyelid dermis and conceal dark coloration because of congested blood. So, if, when looking in the mirror, those dark circles are the first things you see, just enhance your facial pampering with Vitamin C. Cold compress and using retinol- another ingredient we LOVE, will also help!
Don’t Forget About Preventing Skin Sagging!
And, we’re back to collagen! With its production tied to firmness and elasticity, when collagen levels start dropping, your skin might begin to sag. Luckily, whether we are talking about sagging because of natural aging, extreme weight loss, or stress damage, Vitamin C can give you a collagen production boost, accompanied, of course, by a tightening effect you’ll love.
In addition, we also advise you never to skip the main steps of your daily skincare routine, as Vitamin C can’t do everything on its own. And, if you are already struggling with lines and wrinkles, using Blumbody smoothing pads and patches is your answer: fast application, comfort while wearing them, and skin rejuvenation. Too good to be true? Not really! Acting as a non-invasive treatment for wrinkles and lines caused by aging, sun damage, facial expression, or sleeping on your side, the Blumbody pads and patches are a revolutionary way to keep your skin young-looking with no effort!
