VITAMIN C SCHOOL
Why summer is the best time to swot up on this A-star active
You quaff your morning OJ and pop a pill at the first sign of a cold but have you made Vitamin C part of your anti-ageing arsenal yet?
If the answer is no, you could be missing out on all of its skin-brightening, collagen-boosting clout, according to experts who count it as a mandatory skincare boost.
“Vitamin C is one of the best researched and most effective topical antioxidants in skincare, deserving of its place in most people’s skincare routine,” says Dr Sina Ghadiri, a consultant dermatologist and the founder of Sinaesthetics.
“It has remarkable photoprotective effects, playing a significant role in protecting the skin from oxidative stress caused by ultraviolet radiation. Furthermore, regular use of a vitamin C serum can help to maintain a brighter complexion, fade abnormal pigmentation, support collagen production and even aid wound healing.”
