Have you ever met a person who wants to look old? Someone who wants lines, wrinkles, age spots, etc.? We didn’t think so. In fact, we’d be so bold as to guess that most people are trying to turn back the clock, rejuvenate their skin so that they can show off a healthy, youthful glow. For any anti-aging skincare routine to be effective, it must have one powerful ingredient—Vitamin C.
Vitamin C is called an antioxidant and a co-enzyme. Chemically, it bonds with other compounds to create a new compound. When working as an antioxidant, Vitamin C bonds with free radicals—lone electrons looking for a place to call home to neutralize their charge.
Free radicals can be highly destructive, breaking up other chemical bonds to make a place for themselves. When this happens in the skin, it results in damage to compounds in the dermal matrix, including collagen and elastin—the proteins that give skin its firmness and resilience. However, when free radicals are bound to an antioxidant, they are simply neutralized with no resulting damage to other proteins or tissues.
Free radicals are inevitable. They are created by exposure to environmental factors like:
By living on Earth, you simply cannot avoid the chemical phenomenon of free radicals. So, you have to have antioxidants to counter their detrimental effects.
There are multiple sources and ways to deliver Vitamin C to your skin. You can rely on ingestion—i.e., eating foods with high Vitamin C content, such as:
However, to really harness the powerful antioxidant potential of Vitamin C for your anti-aging campaign, you can also deliver it directly to your skin. Hale Cosmeceuticals has a number of products formulated with 100% pure Vitamin C (ascorbic acid):
