In the world of cosmetics, choosing the right ingredients is essential. Among those that have become indispensable in recent years, vitamin C stands out for the radiance it gives to the skin and its anti-aging effect . But that's not all!
Discover the benefits of vitamin C on the face , and why we use it in our creams and serums.
Why choose skincare products rich in vitamin C?
Every day, the skin is subjected to external aggressions from cold, wind, pollution or friction, while also undergoing internal changes due to age, diet and stress levels.
These various factors affect the skin's appearance , causing it to lose its radiance and elasticity. Dehydration lines and wrinkles may also appear over time.
That is why we consider vitamin C to be an essential cosmetic ingredient .
The benefits of vitamin C on the skin
Vitamin C is an ingredient that acts as an antioxidant and collagen booster . It fights the signs of skin aging and helps preserve skin elasticity.
When you apply a cream rich in vitamin C, you help your skin fight free radicals while activating the skin's natural defenses.
Finally, vitamin C is the ideal ingredient for dull skin : it restores radiance and illuminates while providing anti-inflammatory and moisturizing properties.
Why is vitamin C effective on the skin?
Vitamin C is so effective because it is packed with antioxidants . These are molecules that limit skin oxidation.
However, it is oxidation that causes the production of molecules that accelerate skin aging.
For a comprehensive approach to combating the signs of aging , also address your stress levels, for example by taking breaks to breathe deeply throughout the day. This will also help reoxygenate your body and cells.
The 3 key actions of vitamin C on the skin
Vitamin C is an ally for the beauty of your skin for 3 main reasons.
Protects the skin
By fighting against oxidative stress responsible for skin aging and against free radicals, vitamin C helps to slow down the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
In addition, vitamin C helps to strengthen the skin's natural defenses against external aggressions.
Revives the skin's radiance
Over time and with stress, skin can become dull, lack radiance, or develop pigment spots.
Vitamin C helps to even out skin tone and slightly fade dark spots. It is also effective on small acne scars and hyperpigmentation problems.
Firms the skin
Vitamin C boosts the production of elastin and collagen , which help the skin stay firm and bouncy.
Vitamin C creams help the skin to lose less density, and therefore to better resist the visible signs of aging.
