Vitamin C Anti Aging Benefits
How can I make sure my skin gets the Vitamin C it needs?
Your body can't produce Vitamin C, so it relies on you providing it with a supply. And because our bodies can't store Vitamin C, it helps to consume and/or apply this nutrient daily.
Vitamin C is also increasingly used in topically (externally applied) skin care products. It is used to give skin a boost and to keep it looking young, healthy and radiant and is often one of the first anti-aging products people use and you can find out more in anti-aging in your 20s.
A diet rich in Vitamin C
A healthy, balanced diet rich in Vitamin C is essential to both overall and skin health. Eat lots of fresh fruit and veg such as leafy greens, tomatoes and citrus fruits.
Vitamin C and skin care
Vitamin C is increasingly popular in topical (meaning externally applied) skin care products where it can help give skin a boost and keep it to look young and radiant.
One of the benefits of using a Vitamin C-enriched skincare product is that you can ensure that you're applying it right where it's needed. But not all Vitamin C face care products are born equal, and there are some things to look out for:
- The form of Vitamin C: Some forms of Vitamin C, such as L-ascorbic acid, are more active than others and more widely researched and proven as a skincare ingredient.
- Concentration: Research has shown that, to make a difference to skin cells, a product needs to contain at least 8% Vitamin C. Formulations over 20% do not increase in effectiveness and may also cause some irritation.1
- 'Freshness': Pure Vitamin C degrades when it's exposed to oxygen so it's at its most effective in a product where the delivery mechanism enables it to be freshly combined with the rest of the formula.
Eucerin uses 10% pure and freshly-activated L-ascorbic acid in Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler Vitamin C Booster. The formula is further enriched with low molecular Hyaluronic Acid (an effective moisturizer that plumps up wrinkles) and Licochalcone A (another anti-oxidant that works alongside Vitamin C to neutralize the free radicals caused by high-energy visible (HEVIS) light). It is suitable for all skin types and ages and is clinically and dermatologically proven to strengthen skin and plump up wrinkles for smoother, fresher and more radiant skin in just seven days.
