It’s not just for the common cold anymore… vitamin C is the anti-wrinkle super food! Our skin reflects what we eat and, applied topically, vitamin C serums and lotions can also benefit the epidermis. First, vitamin C dramatically increases the synthesis of collagen, a key structural protein for the skin. Secondly, vitamin C is an antioxidant and can help reduce skin damage caused by free radicals. When vitamin C is properly delivered into skin cells, there is a good chance it will reduce wrinkles and improve skin texture. You can say this superior antioxidant “lightens, tightens and brightens.”
There is increasing evidence that vitamin C shields the skin from the sun’s burning rays. A lifestyle of organic fruits and vegetables containing high vitamin C content combined with a morning skin care routine that contains vitamin C serum will dramatically change your skin and reverse sun damage while slowing the aging process.
Make sure you look for a quality, stabilized vitamin C. My favorite is a serum from the Spa Gregorie’s Signature Line. This vitamin C serum is a light, oil-free gel that has a wealth of skin-friendly ingredients. What sets Spa Gregorie’s serum apart is the addition of salicylic acid, which addresses clogged pores and impurities. This helps to exfoliate, promote elastin and collagen and brighten the skin. Some vitamin Cs can dry or irritate skin. Spa Gregorie’s vitamin C is aloe vera based and contains squalane and jojoba, which helps soften and nourish the skin. Great for all skin types, this product offers visible results within two weeks. Your skin will feel firmer, hydrated, and have a brighter clarity.
The aging process is not set in stone. Let’s keep our systems in the best shape possible for the long haul. Inside and out, vitamin C is the anti-wrinkle super food.
