Using topical vitamins on your skin is just as important as taking and eating foods with vitamins. Only 25% of what we eat reaches our skin surface so it's important to apply skin care products containing vitamins. Serums usually contain a high concentrate of vitamins and these are usually applied before your moisturizer.
Vitamin C is a staple and has been in skincare products for many years and has stood the test of time because of it's effective results and benefits to the skin. Vitamin C comes in various forms to address different skin issues. How it works... Vitamin C stimulates a protein called "proline." This protein then turns into collagen. Collagen synthesis feeds the skin resulting in smoother, more radiant, and plumper skin. Fine lines and wrinkles are less visible, pigmenatation is lightened, and it calms the skin so clients with rosacea see a reducement in redness and iritation.
There are many forms of Vitamin C that you can find in creams, serums, and powders. A highly effective formulation is called Mag C. Vitamin C is known to be an unstable substance to work with and oxidizes quickly. However, when adding magnesium to Vitamin C it allows it to penetrate the skin into the lower layers with less oxidation. Therefore, the skin starts receiving all the many benefits that Vitamin C has to offer including enhanced collagen production and an improvement in the skin's overall health.
