The sun is out!! ☀️ While topical sunscreen is necessary to shield your skin from harmful UV rays, vitamin C works in synergy by boosting your skin’s natural defence mechanisms. It helps to:
Enhance UV protection: While vitamin C is not a substitute for sunscreen, it can enhance the effectiveness of your SPF by reducing the damage caused by UV rays. Studies have shown that when vitamin C is applied topically, it can reduce the skin’s susceptibility to UV-induced oxidative stress. So, pairing a high-quality sunscreen with a vitamin C serum is a winning combination for overall sun protection.
Reduce hyperpigmentation: Vitamin C inhibits melanin production, making it effective for reducing sunspots, age spots, and uneven skin tone. For people who are prone to pigmentation changes with sun exposure, incorporating vitamin C into your skincare can help keep your complexion even.
Support collagen production: Sun damage accelerates the breakdown of collagen, the protein responsible for keeping our skin firm and youthful. Vitamin C plays a crucial role in collagen synthesis, helping to maintain skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This means that not only will your skin be better protected from sun damage, but it will also look smoother and more radiant.
Fight inflammation: The sun’s rays can trigger inflammation in the skin, leading to redness, irritation, and even sunburn. Vitamin C has anti-inflammatory properties that can help calm the skin and reduce irritation, making it an excellent addition to your skincare routine if you’re spending extended periods outdoors.
