The truth is that I still remember, even though I was a little kid at the time, my mom chasing me around the kitchen table with a freshly squeezed glass of orange juice in her hand. "Come and drink it now," she would shout to me, "while it's fresh, before it loses its vitamins." You see, it usually turned quite sour, and that's why it wasn't my best. But as I grew older, and as I began to learn about the beneficial properties of Vitamin C in the body and how exactly it works, I started to squeeze it myself. I didn't need anyone to chase me anymore...
Yes, you will say, but here we are talking about Vitamin C as a basic ingredient in cosmetics! Not about another dietary supplement. So in this form, is it just as important and beneficial? And if so, what exactly does it help with? What are the benefits that arise from its systematic use? Let's take them as always in order, simplifying the scientific terms with simple words that each of us can understand.
Vitamin C has been shown to have a multitude of beneficial properties, the main of which are the smoothing and elimination of skin spots and discolorations and the gradual smoothing of wrinkles and fine lines. It is also a powerful antioxidant that contributes significantly to the treatment of free radicals, while simultaneously protecting against harmful UVA and UVB solar radiation, thus slowing down the process of photoaging.
Yes......and what exactly do we mean by that? Why should I care? Because UVA radiation, which is the main cause of photoaging, affects deeper layers of the skin compared to UVB, destroying important elements of it, such as elastin and collagen! It is the main cause that contributes to a dull and dehydrated skin with wrinkles. And as if that were not enough, note that there is approximately 500 times more UVA radiation in sunlight compared to UVB. This of course does not mean that UVB radiation is innocent and harmless, since it is mainly responsible for skin cancer and the painful and annoying "burn" from the sun.
And how exactly does Vitamin C help with all of this?
It affects the natural health of the skin because it plays an important role in the synthesis of collagen and strengthens the enzymes responsible for the stabilization and interconnection of its molecules. As a result, the effect of solar radiation on the skin is significantly limited and the “repair” process is achieved more immediately when needed. Clinical studies have even shown that topical use of Vitamin C significantly increased collagen production, both in young and more mature skin types, making it suitable for every skin type.
Essentially, when you use Vitamin C in your daily routine, it's like wearing an invisible shield over your face with the ability to protect you from external attacks and environmental pollutants. And unfortunately, we have to deal with quite a few of them every day, especially those of us who live in cities. Finally, add to all of the above its anti-inflammatory action as well as the property that it has to heal any skin wounds faster and you now know more than the basics about the reasons that make Vitamin C such a widespread ingredient in cosmetics today!
