Vitamin C is an essential micronutrient that bodies need to stay healthy. It contains antioxidants that fight cell damage, and it boosts collagen production to improve healing and skin quality.
Vitamin C naturally occurs in citrus fruits (oranges, limes, lemons, etc.) and in healthy foods like broccoli, spinach, red pepper, potatoes, and strawberries. Our Citrus Cleansing Oil contains Vitamin C from 6 different citrus sources.
When it comes to our skin, Vitamin C has many restorative properties. First, Vitamin C improves skin quality. When we apply it directly to our skin, collagen production increases, making our skin more supple with less sagging. This can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Vitamin C also has the power to help protect the skin and repair damage caused by the sun, by neutralizing free radicals. Always use sunscreen with spf, of course, but if any UV rays make it past the sunscreen, Vitamin C can help minimize the damage.
Additionally, Vitamin C improves the appearance of our skin by reducing redness, reducing under-eye circles, and brightening the skin all while enhancing hydration. This restorative vitamin helps lighten dark spots and even out skin tone.
First, it is an antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals in our cells. Free radicals occur naturally when we digest food, but also because of exposure to pollution, smoke and UV rays from the sun. These unstable molecules can build up in cells and cause damage and disease. Vitamin C works to combat and destroy these free radicals.
Next, it helps keep our general muscle tone in better condition. Our gums and skin both improve with adequate Vitamin C in our eating plans. Plus, because it boosts collagen production, it enhances healing and reduces inflammation.
