Vitamin C: THE star of your skincare routine
Star molecule, vitamin C, also known under the scientific name of ascorbic acid, is the favorite ingredient of beauty addicts. And for good reason, it multiplies the benefits for the skin!
Increasingly present in cosmetic care, concentrated in a serum or diluted in a cream, vitamin C is ideal for skin lacking radiance; there is nothing like a good cure of this anti-dull complexion vitamin. Indeed, like the apple that blackens on contact with air, complexion dulls by oxidation, and this is where vitamin C comes in. It's a powerful anti-oxidant, but not only:
It is, first of all, a great ally in the fight against skin aging. It wards off the effects of stress on the skin but also acts as a formidable shield against external aggressions: pollution, urban climate, UV rays, tobacco, etc.
This super ingredient also allows the body to increase its production of collagen and elastin, the fibers responsible for the elasticity of the skin. Vitamin C makes it plumper and firmer.
Finally, tested on pigment spots, vitamin C helps them disappear by reducing the concentration of melanin located deep in the skin.
As you will have understood, its qualities are enough to make all free radicals pale! All that's left is to slip into a cocoon of suitable care, formulated with this star compound, and give your skin a radiance that defies the grayness of winter!
