Why Do I Need Antioxidants In My Skin Care?

Everybody knows that vitamin C plays an huge part of tissue growth and repair, but did you know that its effects on your skin are just as dramatic?

Along with everyone at FUZION, I’m always looking out for ways to keep my skin healthy and vibrant. I know that vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is central to the production of collagen. This is the source of skin’s firmness and definition (aka my best friend).

You might be surprised to find out that a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, linked more Vitamin C to better skin aging for women between the ages of 40 and 74. Look at that! Women showed fewer, less noticeable wrinkles and increased hydration. And to think we didn’t know what our morning glass of OJ was doing for our face.

Vitamin C nurtures the cells on the inside and the outside of your body. It’s water soluble, but isn’t produced by your body. That’s why it’s important to include this super nutrient in both your diet AND your skin care regimen. When used as a skin treatment, ascorbic acid helps promote collagen synthesis. It supplements your skin’s natural deficit which helps your skin texture and composition!

In addition to fostering skin elasticity, this little gem is a powerful antioxidant and an effective tyrosinase inhibitor, so it works overtime to prevent photo-damage and hyper-pigmentation. It should get a raise. When added to sunscreens and anti-aging formulas, Vitamin C increases your performance, boosting protective and reparative properties to prevent cellular DNA damage and reduce inflammation. These things are vital to your beautiful body!

Vitamin C is an important part of the chemical strategy for healthy skin, but you should be aware that it has a short shelf-life.  Make sure you’re getting a medical grade Vitamin C that will be potent  and long-lasting enough to help in the fight to save your skin!
