Fight The Signs Of Aging With Vitamin C

You more than likely already know that you can fight off colds

, and viruses like the common cold by ingesting an adequate amount of Vitamin C every day. This vitamin that we get from citrus fruits helps to boost the body's immune system and provide us with extra warriors for our natural defense systems. You may not be aware that this powerful complex vitamin will also help you fight the signs of aging when it is applied topically.

Studies have recently proven that although we ingest an adequate amount of Vitamin C through our food intake and the supplements we use, we could get additional benefits if we applied this vitamin to our skin in a topical form. The application of the beneficial antioxidants will help people to not only fight back the signs of aging, but to prevent a lot of the damages that their skin would have been subjected to.

It sounds very easy. All you need to do is drink enough orange juice, and use facial and skin care products that contain Vitamin C and you could remain healthy and healthy looking. It really is as simple as it sounds. When you apply the skin care products directly to your skin then you get four times the benefits that you receive from orally ingesting the vitamin. The skin care product that you use will cause the collagen production in your skin to increase.

Collagen is what gives our skin the elasticity to bounce back and not sag. Sagging skin, or loose skin causes wrinkles and lines to appear, so more collagen means less wrinkles, and less wrinkles means you look younger.

That is not the end of the benefits though. The Vitamin C also starts to break up pockets of melanin that is in the skin. Melanin causes pigmentation changes, which means you begin to have a complexion that is not as even as it was when you were younger, you may develop dark areas known as age spots. The breaking up of the melanin causes the disappearance of the dark spots and leaves you with a more youthful complexion. Your skin will appear lighter, and brighter, and it will have the appearance of tighter and more toned skin. You will have discovered a face lift in a bottle that will not harm you in any way.

You do need to be aware that Vitamin C when added to a skin care product, in its original form, can break down and cause the skin care product to spoil. If you are using a skin care product that starts to look darker, maybe brownish in color it is a sign the vitamin has broken down and you need a new bottle of the product. Do not continue to use once it begins to break down because at this stage the vitamin can do more harm to your skin through the production of free radicals.

In order to avoid this problem you can purchase the product with a stabilized form of the vitamin. This will cost a little more but you are worth it.
