Vitamin C: all the superpowers of cosmetics in one component

Hey, sis, let's talk about an ingredient that is often found in Korean cosmetics and has conquered us with its superpower 😍

We're talking about vitamin C. We're sure that you get this vitamin in your diet, but your skin needs it in quite large quantities. That's why you should choose care products that contain vitamin C for your face.

Wondering how to choose cosmetics with this component? We'll tell you everything, but first it's worth explaining why this vitamin is needed.

What is vitamin C and why is it great for the skin

Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid for the face, is involved in tissue repair.

If you google "vitamin C benefits", you will see that this component is extremely necessary for skin protection and restoration 🥰

The vitamin of youth and beauty is not just found in skin care cosmetics.

It is a powerful antioxidant, which saves our skin from the harmful effects of the environment. Unfortunately, you can’t protect yourself from all dangers, but you can easily protect yourself from ultraviolet radiation.

A little theory. UV rays form free radicals in cells that destroy the dermis from the inside and lead to premature aging. And vitamin C, like a real superhero, blocks and neutralizes them 🦸

That’s why ascorbic acid can be found so often in Korean cosmetics, which are known for their rejuvenating effect.

What can vitamin C do for your skin?

These miraculous vitamins for the face are just a godsend for your skin!

Superpower of products with vitamin C:

• Protects against the negative effects of the environment. Vitamin C cream is able to absorb free radicals, which are the culprits of dull skin, and it is because of them that creases and wrinkles form.
• Starts collagen synthesis. Ascorbic acid is the main building block in the formation of collagen fibers. Therefore, if you want beautiful, firm skin, it is important to choose a product that contains vitamin C.
• Strengthens blood vessels. Fragile vessels cause a lot of unpleasant sensations and negatively affect the complection. The presence of ascorbic acid in products strengthens the walls of blood vessels and makes them less noticeable 😘
• Helps fight rashes. The best vitamins for problem facial skin are vitamins of group C, which have a powerful antibacterial effect. This ingrediens not only disinfects, but also prevents the appearance of new acne.

Choosing care with vitamin C, you get a great result and among the most pleasant, our sisters would highlight the following:

• Lightening and even tone. This ingredient gently brightens the skin, as it suppresses the production of melanin in the dermis. If you choose a product that will make age spots or post-acne marks less noticeable, look for ascorbic acid in the composition.
• Fight wrinkles. Another plus in favor of vitamin C is that it perfectly fills cells from the inside and helps retain nutrients inside the dermis. This smoothes wrinkles, making them less visible. The vitamin that is formed in the skin, thanks to the action of ascorbic acid, is preserved in the dermis and makes your face really radiant!
• Sun protection. The absorbing effect of vitamin C blocks the negative effects of UV radiation on the skin and perfectly complements the effect of sun filters in sunscreen.
• Skin soothing. If you are looking for vitamins for dry skin or your face is prone to irritation, pay attention to cosmetics with vitamin C, such products soothe problem skin.

How to choose cosmetics with vitamin C

In this section, our girls will tell you about vitamin C for the face, how to use products to get the maximum effect from the component.

Vitamin C can be presented in cosmetics in an active form (L-ascorbic acid) or stable.

It is better to apply products with L-ascorbic acid exclusively to dry skin. If the previous stage of care is toning the face, then wait for the product to be completely absorbed. This is important! ☝️

The most common stable forms of vitamin C are Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, 3-O Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate. Cosmetics with this vitamin C formula retain their effectiveness for a long time.

Important: our sis do not recommend using cosmetics with retinoids and ascorbic acid during one procedure. It is better to separate them into morning and evening care (vitamin C is better to choose for morning procedures) 🤗

It is also worth remembering that ascorbic acid can be:

• water-soluble;
• fat-soluble form.

Water-soluble forms of vitamin C are distinguished by the light texture of cosmetics, while the fat-soluble component can be found more often in creams and serums. The denser texture of vitamin C forms the consistency of the entire product, but at the same time the fat-soluble form is able to penetrate into the deeper layers of the dermis.

Rules for using vitamin C

If you use cosmetics with vitamin C, then the sisters want to remind you of the three golden rules of its use:

1. Store it correctly.
2. Start gradually.
3. Use with SPF.

Most often, liquid vitamins for the face are in glass jars made of dark glass. You just have to make sure that the product does not get direct sunlight and that the air temperature where the product is stored does not exceed 25 degrees.

The second rule is to act without haste! Let's imagine a situation: vitamins for the face, the reviews of which were just super-wow, have settled on your shelf and you are ready to use them. Sisters advise to first do a patch test to test the cosmetics on a small area of skin, to see if there is a reaction within 24 hours 🤔 If everything is ok, then add cosmetics with vitamin C to your beauty routine.

And finally, don't forget about SPF. Vitamin C does not replace, but enhances the effect of sunscreen 🤗
