Repair Summer Skin Damage With Vitamin C

So, what’s so special about vitamin C"
Not only does it work to fight the free radicals that contribute to signs of aging, but it stimulates collagen. According to dermatologist Dr. Dennis Gross our skin cells have receptors for specific ingredients, and vitamin C is one of them, which allows for that collagen stimulation and, as a result, younger looking skin. As for the free radicals, vitamin C is an antioxidant that protects skin from free radicals before they can do any damage, meaning you’re basically attacking aging from both fronts. If you’re thinking right about now ‘why not drink a big ‘ol glass of OJ’… not so fast.
Dr. Gross underlines that the most effective way to help your skin fight signs of aging is to apply vitamin C topically. In fact he says that it’s impossible to ingest enough vitamin C to get an effective concentration into the skin. It’s also important to note that while vitamin C is a miracle ingredient, there’s nothing that will protect your skin as effectively as wearing physical sunscreen 365 days a year. Without sunscreen you’ll be creating damage faster than any product can repair...
