Researchers now report that people who eat plenty of vitamin C-rich foods have fewer wrinkles than people whose diets contained little of the vitamin.
Vitamin C is an antioxidant, which means that it can combat the effects of free radicals in your body and on your skin. Free radicals are the unstable molecules in the environment that can cause aging of the skin. So, when vitamin C is properly delivered into skin cells, there is a good chance to reduce wrinkles and improve skin texture.
However, eating a bag of oranges every week is not going to bring about the desired results for your skin. In order to see the benefits of vitamin C on the outside of your body, you will need to find a way to combine a healthy diet that is rich in vitamin C with skin care products that contain this important nutrient. Scientists have now discovered how to use a variety of vitamin C derivatives in skin care products that will bring about the same benefits as natural vitamin C with less of the ingredient required for results.
Apart from intake of vitamin c there are also other ways to protect skin from damage and keep it glowing. Free radicals which damage the skin are accumulated due to excessive sun exposure, cigarette smoke and environmental pollutants. Hence, skin has to be protected against these. Have plenty of water, when people are dehydrated wrinkles are much more noticeable. Use sunscreen and a good night moisturizer.

Vitamin C is a very powerful antioxidant that helps your entire body especially your skin. It is good to know that your body can only absorb small amounts at a time. So it is best to consume foods rich in Vitamin C throughout the day to receive the benefits. So those vitamins with 500% daily vitamin C value doesn’t mean your body will absorb all of it.
That’s correct Vitamin C is a great antioxidant and it also builds your immune system.
This is good news for me.
I love consuming citrus fruits and am always munching on an orange or two. Wonderful article. Will definitely pass it on to all my health-conscious friends who are indulging in fruit facials instead of consuming them!
Fresh fruits are always good for health. But of course, instead of the ready-made fruit juices, one should make it at home. Because the so-called original juices are full of sugar and chemicals. Vitamin C is available in oranges, lemon and more or less in almost all the fruits. That’s easy to get.
Nice article. Are there any skin care products that use Vitamin C ingredients specifically?
I am sorry- typo: I have DONE extensive research on vitamin C is what I meant to say! My spa is located in Roswell, GA and you’ll receive 20% off on your first treatment. I have background experience working for a dermotologist and plastic surgeon.
My wife is an esthetician. She believes strongly in Vitamin C. Many of her facials she does also includes some sort of enzyme with Vitamin C. I think, but am not positive is the Pumpkin Peel Facial.
I support this claim.
I also proved that in one of my research
Antioxidants are extremely important for skin care.
