While most of us associate vitamin C with fighting off a cold, it’s also one of the biggest powerhouse ingredients in skincare.
Vitamin C has become an essential ingredient in a results-driven regime, loved for its ability to create healthier, brighter, smoother skin that really glows. It’s a potent antioxidant that deals to dark spots and stimulates collagen production, and works to fight against environmental aggressors – such as UV exposure and pollution – that can damage the skin over time. These can lead to premature ageing in the form of dehydration, uneven tone, fine lines and wrinkles.
The easiest way to work vitamin C into your routine is by using a serum – although not cheap, it will make visible changes to your skin. After cleansing in the morning, apply vitamin C serum, then finish with your moisturiser and sunblock and consider yourself protected! One of the only downsides of vitamin C is that it can be unstable when not stored properly, so make sure you keep it tucked in your bathroom cupboard away from direct sunlight.
We’ve rounded up a selection of new products and old faves to suit different budgets – so get glowing!
