Ah, the sun. Our closest and most personal star. It gives us so much; provides us with life, light, and energy. However, the sun is also the cause of damage to the skin. Staying in a sunny environment without proper care for your skin can result in blemishes, wrinkles, and other conditions. The problem of over-exposure to the sun’s potentially harmful ultraviolet rays is a known issue, and now the question is – what do we do about it?

One relatively easy way to help undo the damage caused by the sun is to use a topical vitamin C serum. Vitamin C is an antioxidant, which means it can help turn back time. Well, no, not literally, but it can help your skin look years younger, and provide you with natural sun protection to boot.

Sun, Sun Mr. Golden Sun, Won’t You Please Go Away

Using a vitamin C treatment every day (some use it twice a day) after you wash your face, can help your body produce collagen. Collagen is a building block of life, which smoothens out lines and wrinkles, and keeps you looking younger and healthier.

Vitamin E, Vitamin C, It’s All Good

A good Vitamin C serum should contain more than just Vitamin C.

Another ingredient your serum should have is vitamin E. A study at Harvard suggested that women who use a combination of vitamins C and E are less at risk of suffering a stroke.

Vitamin E is also an antioxidant, and it can do the body lots of good, especially when combined with other nutrients. They nourish and replenish the skin cells, causing them to slow down their aging process.

A facial serum containing vitamins C and E can help you lose a decade from your face. Smooth out lines, wrinkles, spots, and make yourself look and feel better. It is safer, cheaper, and much easier than a facelift or chemical peel procedure.

If you can’t buy a facial serum, you should be eating many fruits and veggies containing vitamin C. If your diet isn’t balanced, you should buy oral supplements. With the summer months coming up, everyone is thinking of their body. We all want to look our best, and giving your body a boost of vitamin C can help you achieve your goals.
