Why Do You Need Vitamin C?
To simplify things, think that molecules called free radicals are generated in contact with oxygen. These molecules are volatile and therefore have the power to damage skin cells. A small amount is average and can be neutralized. Still, some factors cause them to be generated more than usual: stress, poor diet, pollution, and most importantly: solar radiation.
We all want to have a flattering tan at the end of the season, but we can assure you that there is a good chance that you will have premature wrinkles and spots (especially considering that 80% of aging is due to sun exposure).
So what to do? First, use sunscreen, but be careful! There will always be some amount of rays reaching the skin; to counter them, we need antioxidants. Specifically, we recommend vitamin C, one of the most potent and well-studied antioxidants, because, in addition to preventing premature aging, it also fights the signs when they have already appeared!
Therefore, if in everyday life these cosmetics are essential, in summer, they become so for two reasons, and staying true to the routine becomes crucial.
How To Use Vitamin C?
