Vitamin C for skin

Benefits of Vitamin C

Several studies have recently been completed that confirms the beneficial effects of vitamin C (or ascorbic acid) on your skin.  Whether it is applied topically or ingested, vitamin C has been shown to have a positive effect on skin cell structure and help protect skin from sun damage caused by UV rays.  More research needs to be carried out to verify all these recent findings, but it has long been known that the antioxidant properties of vitamin C help skin produce collagen.  Even if the other benefits don’t hold up to scrutiny, its role in collagen production still makes vitamin C essential to the health of your skin. 6345
