Vitamin C Anti Aging – Using a Simple Vitamin to Fight Off the Signs of Aging

By Unknown

Each year people spend billions of dollars on anti-aging or anti-wrinkle creams and lotions. Though many of these products claim to be unique, most of them contain the same basic ingredients. It may surprise you to learn that one of the most popular ingredients in anti-wrinkle creams is vitamin C. But does vitamin C really help rejuvenate your skin? That is the question we will attempt to answer in this article.

There are two important reasons why vitamin C might actually help the skin. To begin with, vitamin C is required for the production of collagen, which is an essential structural protein in the skin. In fact, it is collagen that gives skin its elasticity and keeps it looking young and wrinkle-free. And lab tests have shown that when you add vitamin C to skin cells, it increases, substantially, the production of collagen. Vitamin C is also an antioxidant, which means that it can help prevent and reduce damage to the skin.

Having said all that, the fact is that most anti-wrinkle creams that contain vitamin C simply do not work. In test after test they have shown no real improvement in the levels of collagen in the skin and no noticeable reduction of wrinkles. So if vitamin C has been shown to rejuvenate the skin, why doesn’t it work in most products?

One reason that many of these creams and lotions fail to show results is due to the fact that vitamin C is fairly unstable. In fact, when it is exposed to the air, vitamin C is often converted to its oxidized form. And as most chemists know, the oxidized form of vitamin C cannot increase collagen production or act as an antioxidant to protect your skin. This is what you will quickly discover with most anti-wrinkle products, that the vitamin C has already been oxidized and is therefore useless by the time you put it on your skin. It is also true that only products with an extremely high concentration of vitamin C, over ten percent, have been proven topically effective.

While many companies do offer products with concentrated and stabilized vitamin C, they tend to be a bit on the expensive side. But if you are willing to fork over the extra cash, these products are effective. According to customer reviews, about fifty percent of users responded to vitamin C treatments. They reported that their skin felt and looked younger and that the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines were minimized.

When selecting a product, as we mentioned, make sure that you choose a quality brand and that it contains more than 10 percent vitamin C in a stabilized form. It is also important that you check the expiration date and make sure that the item was properly stored.

If you are looking to save some money, you can even make your own vitamin C gel at home. A simple internet search will reveal a number of sites that can provide you with step-by-step instructions. That way you can guarantee that the vitamin C in your creams and lotions will remain potent.

Short version: My friend does all the opposite things of caring for your skin while I care for my skin, but he doesn’t have acne and I do. Why is that?
We are both 13 years-old

Genetics
like why are some people short and others tall, it’s just your genes.
Or you’re further along in puberty than he is and the hormones haven’t started properly yet in him so he doesn’t get spots.
Just make sure you keep your skin clean and not greasy, ex foliate and use spot cream, don’t just wash with soap, there are loads of products on the market for acne.

for morning and evening.

The only thing that I suggest it putting your serum on BEFORE your moisturizer. The serum works below the skins surface, whereas your moisturizer works on the surface.
