Well if you decided to read this post, it’s possible you already know that Vitamin C is good for you. Most of us take it orally, I seem to have my house on an Emergen-C kick this time of the year with everyone going back to school. Many people don’t realize though the benefits that Vitamin C has for your skin and I wanted to address the reasons you should incorporate it into your skin care routine. Vitamin C has antioxidant properties that play a huge role in collagen synthesis.
It’s become huge that people are using Vitamin C serums on their skin and they have a good reason for it. Uneven skin and texture, lines/wrinkles, dullness, and acne, you can list so many reasons for using a Vitamin C serum. Vitamin C aids in the regeneration process of your skin which helps you create more collagen and repair damaged skin cells.
HOW VITAMIN C HELPS YOUR SKIN
- FIGHTS AGAINST FREE RADICALS – In simple terms it can help against the stress that contributes to sun damage.
- BOOSTS YOUR COLLAGEN PRODUCTION – When used topically the acid triggers the skin to heal by increasing the production of collagen and elastin.
- REDUCES AND CLEARS UP DARK SPOTS – Vitamin C has brightening properties which help to even skin tone and reduce any dark spots. This also helps reduce the spots left from acne.
I was told by my dermatologist that the best way to incorporate Vitamin C into your skin care routine is with a serum that includes ascorbic acid. Creams and masks are good, but a serum seems the best way for it to absorb into your skin. I recently purchased the Vitamin C serum from Glow Recipe, which has pineapple in it. It smells and feels amazing and has already started smoothing and evening my skin from hormonal acne spots.

Have you already incorporated Vitamin C into your skin care routine?

I couldn’t agree more with the addition of Vitamin C to a routine. I’ve been washing my face with a Vitamin C milk cleanser and using a Vitamin C serum for years now to clear dark spots. It really works!
You’re right, I try to make sure we ingest enough Vitamin C, but I never thought about it in skincare. I’ve been pumping the immunity boosters last week and this since my boys started school this week.
Vitamin C it’s really good for skin! I’ve been using a serum with this vitamin and my skin has improved so much
I never heard about Vitamin C’s skincare benefits per se. But goodness knows everyone’s skin needs all the help it can get, esp as we get older and esp after all those summer rays…
Thank you so much. I am going to use them. Due to my bladder issues, I can’t include much vitamin c in my diet. And my skin suffers. Have become so dry. Hopefully it will help.
It sounds very interesting. I know vitamin C is an essential part of your diet but I didn’t realize about the serum and its effects. I will have to show this to my daughter as she would definitely be interested.
Sunday Riley is my favorite skin care line! I swear by their products. Now I know why they’re so amazing. 😀
I do use vitamin C in my skin care routine. I love it, makes a big difference!!!
I don’t think you can ever get enough of Vitamin C. Especially during the cold and flu season. My family and I use Emergen-C as well. I love the ease of use and the different flavors offered. It’s easy to put in a drink and go.
Always looking for a boost for the skin. Vitamin C sounds like the way to go for sure. May have to look into this x
I love using vitamin C for beauty. It’s such a refreshing boost. Also….LOVING your swimsuit!!
