No matter how much skincare knowledge you have, you have more than likely heard of the wonder ingredient in your much-loved skincare products - Vitamin C. It is found in many skincare products, but what is it and what does it do? What makes it so sought after and loved in the skincare world?
Interestingly, our body does not produce vitamin C itself. Instead, we consume it
through our foods, such as citrus fruits and broccoli, and our supplements. But the magic of this incredible ingredient really comes to light when we use it in our skincare. This is a true hero ingredient that boasts multiple skincare benefits and tackles multiple skin concerns. It really is not hard to see why it is so widely loved.
One of my personal favourite benefits of vitamin C in skincare, is that it is has renowned brightening capabilities. Ever feel like your skin is looking dull and lifeless? Vitamin C is your answer and will be sure to give your skin a ‘glow up’ and a new lease of life. It helps to tackle hyper pigmentation and uneven skin tone by suppressing tyrosinase and therefore melanin generation (tyrosinase = protein enzyme found in pigment producing cells).
The benefits of this incredible ingredient don’t stop there! This mighty vitamin plays an important part in collagen production, and at the same time it even works to prevent collagen breakdown. This process is vital for improving your skins elasticity and in turn reduces fine lines, helps maintain your skins firmness and reduces signs of ageing.
It is also an antioxidant, and a powerful one at that! - so as well as making your skin look good, it actually protects your skin too by acting as a barrier for your cell membrane against extremities and daily impurities - win win! By protecting against environmental damage, you are rewarded with a healthy, smooth complexion that looks brighter and feels softer.
It sounds pretty amazing so far, right? So, what if we combine this with another incredible skincare ingredient - Vitamin E! I love using these ingredients on my skin separately, but together really is where the magic happens. When applied together, these vitamins become even more effective than when used on their own. They are both antioxidants and both combat environmental damage, so by using them together you are essentially increasing your protection! Vitamin E also actually helps to preserve the vitamin C, therefore meaning that you can reap all of its wonderful benefits for longer!
ILM Vitamin C & E Rich Face cream marries together this powerful duo for you! You get the best of both worlds with Vitamin E and Vitamin C, resulting in a healthy, glowing complexion that is soft, smooth and powerfully protected against environmental damage. It is easy to see why it is so popular and quick off the shelves!
Want to know the best bit? It is suitable for all skin types! With its long list of skincare benefits that tackle a wide range of skin concerns, whether your concerns are anti-aging, dehydrated skin or hyper-pigmentation, Vitamin C has a trick or two for you!
