Is vitamin C good for your skin?

Give your skin a regular vitamin C boost! Vitamin C evens out your skin tone, reduces the appearance of superficial age spots, firms your skin, hydrates your skin and protects it from damage caused by free radicals.

Vitamin C helps balance melanin levels, which is very important in the prevention of age or pigmentation spots. These spots are an accumulation of melanin produced by your skin as a result of sun exposure, for instance.

What’s more, it also has a soothing effect on irritated and inflamed skin.

Your body doesn’t produce vitamin C itself so has to get it from fruit, for instance, or through topical application (e.g. by applying creams with vitamin C). With ageing, the body’s ability to absorb vitamin C from food, drink and dietary supplements decreases, which is why you really should start using creams with vitamin C as you get older. That’s because vitamin C ensures your skin retains its firmness by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. And the great thing is that it is safe to use for all skin types. Vitamin C is an active ingredient in all our products with fruit extracts, like our hydrating gel masks and body wraps, but also in the fruit acid clay mask we use in our mesotherapy treatment. You can also buy some of these products at our wellness centres for use at home, including the deep-cleansing foam gel, anti-acne gel and hand cream.
