Amazing Vitamin C Benefits for Skin

Ever since you were a little kid, you’ve probably heard many times how getting enough vitamin C can prevent colds and flu. But, did you know that vitamin C also has some amazing benefits for your skin? Check them out.

1. Vitamin C Makes Your Skin Stronger

Ingesting of vitamin C is very beneficial for your whole body, your skin alike. It is a very powerful vitamin that improves your body’s defense mechanism, which results in a stronger skin too. Enough vitamin C will help your skin defend from external influences as well as from dryness. Vitamin C is a miracle worker when it comes to relieving the dry skin. It can also help reduce any existing inflammation of the skin.

2. Rejuvenation

Vitamin C is mostly known as the perfect rejuvenation substance for your skin. Beauty salons offer vitamin C masks and packs that are supposed to make your skin feel and look younger and erase small wrinkles.

Vitamin C boosts the production of collagen, the substance responsible for healthy skin. As you age your collagen production reduces and your skin loses its natural tone and elasticity. Ingesting a lot of vitamin C as well as applying products that contain it, can greatly slow down the process of aging.

3. Sun Protection



Vitamin C has influence when it comes to protecting your skin from the dangerous UV rays. This of course doesn’t mean that you can have a glass of lemonade or apply a cream with vitamin C and safely spend the whole day in the sun. Your sunscreen is still irreplaceable.

However, vitamin C and vitamin C products can increase your skin’s natural defense towards the UV rays. It can also help and speed up the healing process if you already got sunburns.

4. Reduces the Chance for Ulcers, Joint Weakness and Bruising

The benefits of vitamin C for your skin have been discovered long ago, thanks to, believe it or not, sailors. Yes, those same sailors lacked vitamin C on their ships and started noticing how their joints hurt more and how they were more prone to skin ulcers and bruising.

The main reason for this is the aforementioned production of collagen which vitamin C boosts. Collagen not only makes your skin look young and shiny, it is a very important protein that builds your cells and blood vessels. It also builds your ligaments and helps create scar tissue, which means that your skin will heal faster after an injury.

Lack of collagen can lead to a lot of skin problems, including dryness, eczemas and bruising. Furthermore, it could lead to vascular problems as well as to muscle and joint problems. Prevent them all by taking enough vitamin C every day.

5. Anti-oxidant

Vitamin C is a very powerful anti – oxidant that protects your whole body from damaging free radicals and oxidation. Ironically, the substance you can’t breathe without – oxygen – is the substance that brings most damage to you. Your cells oxidize over time, which causes them to deteriorate.

Vitamin C slows down the oxidation process, neutralizes free radicals, and can also reverse DNA damage. It means that it helps your whole body stay younger and in better shape and it gives your skin protection and shine.

Vitamin C is not only beneficial for your skin. It is a very important vitamin and appropriate amount of it should be taken every day. The recommended daily dose of vitamin C is between 80 and 100 milligrams and it should not be higher than 2 grams. Overdose can cause diarrhea and insomnia.

Suntan Removal – Home Remedies

“Home made masks – mixture of turmeric, honey and curd can be made into a smooth paste applied for 15 minutes and washed off with cold water. Tomatoes are packed with antioxidants; a puree can be made and applied on the concerned area and washed off once it dries. These can be applied once or twice a week”, suggests the dermatologist.

Avoid using lime or lemon to reduce suntan, Dr. Udhay Sidhu says, “In my practice I have seen patients commonly using lemon to get rid of the tan and as a result, it causes worsening of the condition. Lemon has to be used with caution when using it directly on skin as it can lead to sun irritation, allergy and at times even burn the skin.”
