    Vitamin C and sun protection

    By counterbalancing free radicals, the exceedingly reactive molecules created by the sunlight, cell membranes and other components of skin tissue’s interaction. Be it clear though, that it has no capacity to absorb light, so it's not a sunscreen and should never be a replacement or a replace to sunscreen; it's however wonderful applying it alongside a sunscreen product.

    Vitamin C and its role in collagen synthesis

    The only antioxidant proven to increase collagen synthesis, it aids in the restoring of minor cuts and wounds.

    As collagen decreases with age, photo aging further speed up the decrease. L-ascorbic acid acts as a signal, sending the message to the collagen genes so it can manufacture more collagen, and also is a cofactor for enzymes essential in collagen synthesis.

    Vitamin C and its function as antioxidant and free radical inhibitor

    The production of collagen is affected when the skin is laid bare to reactive oxygen species, known as free radicals. As a result, wrinkles and premature skin sagging transpire.

    Too much UV radiation exposure will give rise to free radicals. As UV radiation deeply penetrates the skin creating free radicals as well as other reactive agents that hit and undermine the skin’s lipids, vitamin C helps the body to neutralize these free radicals.

    Vitamin C performs these functions:

    1. Fights off foreign invaders in the body.

    2. Increases collagen production in the skin.

    3. Helps in the production of anti bodies.

    4. Is a natural antihistamine, can alleviate allergic reactions.

    5. Naturalizes pollutants.

    6. Maintains healthy skin

    7. Increase the rate of healing.

    Guidelines in evaluating vitamin c products:

    1. Ask if the product contain L-ascorbic acid. There are certain items containing L-ascorbic acid within a vitamin c complex. Know what form of vitamin c is used.

    2. L-ascorbic acid should be at a low ph level, to effectively enter the skin.

    3. Check if the preparation is stable.

    4. The product to look for is that which contains stable L-ascorbic acid, low ph and high concentration.

    5. Do bear in mind that when a label says “vitamin c”, it does not mean that it contains L-ascorbic acid.

    L-ascorbic items for the skin:

    Cellex-C

    Uses l-ascorbic acid as its primary ingredient, combined with zinc sulphate and L-tyrosine, making the skin firmer, and reduces deep lines, which gives the skin a more youthful appearance.

    This formulation is applied to the face once a day and outcomes can be achieved within eight to twelve weeks.

    C FactorTM

    High in L-ascorbic acid, this product pushes cell renewal and protects the skin from future damage.

    Benefits include:

    1. Perks up sun-damaged skin.

    2. Decreases the looks of wrinkles and fine lines.

    3. Improves skin tones.

    4. UV Aging is inhibited to attain younger looking skin.

    5. Can be used under everyday make up.

    6. Pores are unclogged.

    7. Has a moisturizing formula

    8. Help in the production of collagen.

    9. Sustains the elasticity of the skin.

    Action C

    Delivers L-ascorbic acid in concentrated form, without losing potency to improve the looks of blemished or sun damaged skin. Immediately upon the first application, it hydrates the skin resulting to a vibrant skin. It also shields the skin from the sun’s rays to minimize the effect of premature aging.

    HydraXtract “C”

    Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) combined with vitamin E, a-bisobolol, panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5), tocopheryl acetate (Vitamin E), aloe vera, allantoin, and chamomile extract work to a more youthful and even skin tone.

    Regardless of all the advantages vitamin C provides, one should note that it's important not to obtain stuck on just one antioxidant alone. Skin aging is very complicated, and although vitamin c is evidently very effective, researchers suggest that it's best to combat reasons in increasing skin aging using multiple antioxidants and not relying on a few that has greater publicity. Likewise, it would be incorrect to say that there is one single “best” antioxidant.
