In the world of cosmetics, choosing the right ingredients is essential. Among those that have become essential in recent years, vitamin C shines for the radiance it brings 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 treatments rich in vitamin C?
Every day, the skin undergoes external attacks by cold, wind, pollution or friction, while undergoing internal changes due to age, diet and stress level.
These different factors act on the appearance of the skin , causing it to lose its radiance and elasticity. Dehydration lines and wrinkles can also appear over time.
This 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 stimulator . It fights against the signs of skin aging and helps preserve the elasticity of the skin.
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 brightens it while providing anti-inflammatory and moisturizing properties.
Why is vitamin C effective on the skin?
If vitamin C is so effective, it is because it is full of antioxidants . The latter are in reality molecules which limit the oxidation of the skin.
However, it is oxidation that causes the production of molecules that accelerate the aging of the skin.
For complete action against the signs of aging , also act on your stress, for example by taking breaks to breathe deeply during the day. You will take the opportunity to reoxygenate your body and your cells at the same time.
The 3 key actions of vitamin C on the skin
Vitamin C is an ally of 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 slow the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
In addition, vitamin C helps to strengthen the skin's natural defenses against external aggressions.
Revives skin radiance
Over time and stress, the skin can become dull, lack radiance, or see pigment spots appear.
Vitamin C helps to even out skin tone and lightly erase dark spots. It is also effective on small scars linked to acne and on hyperpigmentation problems.
Firms the skin
Vitamin C boosts the production of elastin and collagen , which help the skin remain firm and plump.
Vitamin C creams allow the skin to lose less density, and therefore to better resist the visible signs of aging.
