Vitamin C For Wrinkles
.
You may be used to popping Vitamin C as a supplement to fight an oncoming cold, but it's also being hyped as a wonder ingredient in skincare.
'Vitamin C is a staple for so many skin concerns, it's a mega antioxidant so can stave off free radical damage from general life such as pollution, the sun, smoking, stress etc.', explains pro facialist Abigail James. 'It's an amazing skin brightener, it can give you a glow as well as support reducing the appearance of pigmentation.'
Vitamin C is also a magic wrinkle fighting ingredient as it boosts the body's production of collagen and firms skin.
Finally, this one stop shop wonder ingredient reduces inflammation and brightens skin. Or as dermatologist Dr Gach puts it, 'Vitamin C peels the superficial layers of the epidermis giving a fresher and brighter look to the skin as well as strengthens the collagen fibres.'
So what should you look out for in your vitamin C serum? 'It's all about how it's formulated as to how effective it's really going to be,' says James. 'Vitamin C is unstable and will rapidly degenerate when exposed to oxygen, so you might have a product that claims to have a high percentage, however if the packaging such as a dropper or pot that allows the solution to be exposed to the air regularly, half way through use the product is really not going to be as effective.'
The secret to getting the most from your vitamin C? 'The key is to look for the type being used, L-ascorbic acid or ascorbic acid is more stable than others and will maintain its strength longer,' advises James.
