Vitamin C in the importance of anti-ageing Vishul Gudka&comma; Clinical Director &amp&semi; Lead Practitioner&comma; Master of Aesthetics&comma; The Aesthetics Room&comma; London says&comma; &OpenCurlyQuote;Vitamin C is becoming the norm of a skin care routine&comma; almost like the holy grail of skin products&period; It not only works for anti-ageing but almost any skin concern&period; Pigmentation&comma; fine lines&comma; acne scarring&comma; dry skin&comma; rough skin&period; You name it&comma; we recommend it&period; Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant&comma; meaning it neutralises Free Radicals&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><img class&equals;"aligncenter size-full wp-image-152206" src&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;londonglossy&period;com&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2020&sol;03&sol;eat-more-vitamin-c-to-feel-amazing&period;png" alt&equals;"vitamin c&comma; health&comma; oranges&comma; fruits" width&equals;"560" height&equals;"315" &sol;><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>When healthy skin cells are exposed to factors such as UV radiation or air pollution&comma; this disrupts a stable skin cell and creates a highly reactive unstable cell called a Free Radical&period; Free Radicals will continue on a war path to destabilise further healthy cells and thus leading to a break down in collagen and elastin production&period; Inevitably causing the skin to pre-maturely age&comma; sag and lose tone&period; Collagen and elastin are protein fibres which are responsible for making the skin plump&comma; toned&comma; bouncy and prevent fine lines&period; So antioxidants like Vit C prevent or reduce damaged that would have been caused by the free radical&comma; nip it in the bud and keep our skin safe&comma; healthy&comma; plump and young&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>The second benefit of Vitamin C in the game of ageing is the facts that it not only prevents the decrease of collagen and elastin&comma; it actually stimulates its production&period; That’s a double whammy for anti-ageing&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>As Vit C is highly acidic&comma; when topically applying it to the face&comma; its forces the skin to heal itself&period; This triggers the production of collagen and elastin&period; The acidity also removes dead skin cells from the surface&comma; leaving the skin smoother and brighter&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>As we age our skin goes through more and more stress&comma; the skin starts to decolourise&comma; appearance of dark spots&comma; age spots&comma; hyperpigmentation&period; Vit C has a property which inhibits melanin production&period; So the continued use of it&comma; you help prevent this happening in the first place&period; On the flip side&comma; it also works as a brightening agent to fade dark spots and hyperpigmentation without altering the normal skin tone&period; Prevention and treatment&period; How many products can you say do that&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>To get into the nitty gritty&comma; Vitamin C comes in different forms&comma; however it is ascorbic acid &lpar;L-ascorbic acid&rpar; we are interested in as it’s the most stable and most effective in penetrating the skin barrier&period; When buying Vitamin C in serum form&comma; ensure it comes in dark bottles and is almost clear in colour&period; Vitamin C which is has become brown has oxidised due to exposure to light and air&comma; similar to that of an apple when cut open&period; This means the product itself has broken down and is ineffective&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Rule of thumb here would be to apply Vitamin C before a moisturiser so your layering it underneath and less exposed to the air&period; When using it in a combination with other antioxidants such Vitamin E&comma; it doubles it effectiveness&comma; which is why you see a lot of products now with the combination of the two&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>One way to look at Vit C and incorporate it to your beauty routine&period; Use it in the morning&comma; to protect your skin from free radicals and use it at night to undo the oxidative damage done during the day&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&Tab;&Tab;&Tab;<div style&equals;"padding-bottom&colon;15px&semi;" class&equals;"wordads-tag" data-slot-type&equals;"belowpost">&NewLine;&Tab;&Tab;&Tab;&Tab;<div id&equals;"atatags-dynamic-belowpost-68cd36f28ecb2">&NewLine;&Tab;&Tab;&Tab;&Tab;&Tab;<script type&equals;"text&sol;javascript">&NewLine;&Tab;&Tab;&Tab;&Tab;&Tab;&Tab;window&period;getAdSnippetCallback &equals;
