Vitamin C is the most well-known vitamin; it is water-soluble and is recognized for its antioxidant properties. Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, contributes to collagen synthesis, tissue growth and repair, wound healing, antibody production, and stimulation of white blood cells, as well as iron absorption.
What are the benefits of Vitamin C for the skin?
External factors such as pollution and UV radiation can make the skin look tired, dull, and lifeless, while combined with oxidative stress caused by the environment (and our lifestyle), it may accelerate signs of premature aging. Fortunately, Vitamin C, in addition to being essential for a healthy diet, significantly improves the appearance of the skin due to its antioxidant properties, which are vital for combating the effects of free radicals.
More specifically, Vitamin C:
- Stimulates collagen production.
- Smooths fine lines and wrinkles.
- Reverses the process of photoaging.
- Improves microcirculation, thus enhancing the proper oxygenation of cells.
- Strengthens blood vessel walls and combats spider veins.
- Increases skin brightness.
- Reduces discoloration and prevents the formation of dark spots.
- Provides antioxidant protection and action.
- Eliminates damaged cells and prevents the destruction of new ones.
- Perfects skin texture.
The recommended usage percentage of Vitamin C in cosmetic formulations typically ranges from 2% to 5%.
Vitamin C – Dosage for Edible Use
Intake of Vitamin C should be daily and can be ensured either through diet or dietary supplements. The daily recommended dose for adults is 75mg for women and 90mg for men. Individuals who smoke require approximately an additional 35mg of Vitamin C daily to meet their needs due to increased oxidative stress.
Vitamin C can be used alone or in combination with other carrier oils for even better results. Finally, it's important to know that carrier oils are essential in aromatherapy as they serve as the "vehicle" for adding essential oils.
