VITAMIN C
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that has many known skin benefits. It is a really important component of many cellular functions within the skin. It's also essential for the synthesis of collagen and elastin, increasing cellular renewal and also repairing damage caused by UV light. There are a lot of myths out there that say it is not essential for the skin. However, did you know that we are one of the few mammals on earth that do not make our own Vitamin C? So we really rely on our diet and topical formulations to give it to us.
Sometimes in order to establish what nutrients are vital to the skin, we must look at what occurs when one is deficient. Scurvy is a skin disease that happens when you do not have Vitamin C. It's characterised by inflamed skin that’s often itchy and sore, your teeth fall out, and nails become unhealthy. So it makes sense that, if these symptoms occur in the skin when you are Vitamin C deficient, then healthy skin will prevail when you feed it Vitamin C. I can understand why some may have lost all faith in this incredible ingredient though.
A notoriously difficult ingredient to keep stable, a lot of topical formulations claim to have various percentages of Vitamin C in them. But by the time it's packaged, stored on the pharmacy or supermarket shelf, and sold, it is most likely redundant and won’t perform!
Like putting an astronaut into space to complete a mission, you can give her all the skills and knowledge required, but unless she has the correctly engineered EMU, then she won’t survive the journey - resulting in a failed mission.
