Vitamin C is an antioxidant that fights free radical damage in the skin.
Think of Vitamin C as Prince Charming and a free radical as a really bad boyfriend.
When the skin is exposed to UV rays, free radicals start to attack the skin. This bad, bad boyfriend starts dating your healthy skin cells but he treats her horribly, steals one of her electrons, dumps her, and moves on to the next one.
He goes down the line stealing electrons and leaving damaged, unhealthy skin cells in his wake.
Enter Prince Charming (Vitamin C). He finds the damaged skin cells and gives her one of his own electrons, making her healthy and happy again.
He then draws his sword and hunts down the free radical and kills him so he can't do anymore damage.
So yes, you absolutely need Vitamin C in your skincare routine. It is a powerhouse ingredient because it repairs and prevents further damage to the skin.
Damaged skin cells will lead to premature aging like collagen breakdown, fine lines and wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.
Vitamin C goes a step further and also stimulates your skin to produce more collagen on it's own.
A great way to incorporate Vitamin C is with a serum in the morning. Serums are active treatment products that deliver nutrients deep into the skin. Antioxidant C Serum is your Prince Charming.
