Vitamin C: Good for your Skin & Body!
Posted on May 17, 2010
How many times have we heard “Drink your OJ, it’s a great source of Vitamin C”? Well, we all know how important vitamin C is to maintain a healthy immune system to fight off colds & flu’s. But, what can Vitamin C do for your skin?
It just so happens that Vitamin C is essential for the production of collagen, which is a skin protein responsible for keeping our skin looking young and wrinkle-free. Without sufficient collagen production, the signs of aging may kick in quicker making our skin sag and appear dull.
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is an extremely effective antioxidant as well. Antioxidants help our bodies fight against free radicals found all around us due to smoking, excessive sun exposure or environmental pollutants which result in damaged skin.
So, if you want to stay on track and fight the signs of aging… incorporate Vitamin C to your daily morning regime. Your skin will feel soft and moist.
