What is Vitamin C? Vitamin C is often regarded as a wrinkle fighter or an anti-aging agent. The main objective of ‘Vitamin C skin care’, in scientific terms, is to increase the synthesis of collagen (a structural protein that is found in skin).  The additional benefit of ‘Vitamin C skin care’ is related to its capability of countering free radicals which cause damage to the skin. Vitamin C skin care, however, faces a major challenge today. This is related to the oxidation tendency of Vitamin C skin care products. On coming in contact with any oxidising agent (e.g. air), the Vitamin C in the Vitamin C skin care products,  gets oxidised; thus making the Vitamin C skin care product useless (in fact counter-effective). The oxidised Vitamin C imparts a yellowish-brown colour to the Vitamin C skin care product. This is something that you need to check before buying a Vitamin C skin care product. Tips to store Vitamin C Even after you buy a Vitamin C skin care product, you need to store it properly and keep checking that it’s still good to use (i.e. it hasn’t attained a yellowish-brown texture). The manufacturers of Vitamin C skin care products have tried to deal with this (oxidation) problem in multiple ways (and research on Vitamin C skin care products is on the top of their list). One such method of retaining effectiveness of Vitamin C skin care products for a long term is to keep a high concentration (say 10%) of Vitamin C. However, this makes the Vitamin C skin care products even more expensive. Important notes The Vitamin C skin care products are already pretty inexpensive and making them even more expensive will throw the product manufacturers out of business. The other way is to use Vitamin C derivatives (like ascorbyl palmitate and magnesium ascorbyl phosphate). These are not only more stable but also inexpensive.  Even though the derivatives based products are not as effective as the Vitamin C skin care products, their stability against oxidation is a very desirable feature that makes them very attractive.  Moreover, these are known to be less irritating too. Talking of effectiveness of Vitamin C skin care products, it’s important to mention that not everyone responds to Vitamin C treatments. So it’s not a magic potion in any way.  If you don’t see a noticeable difference in your skin, it might be because of your skin not responding to Vitamin C treatment (and the Vitamin C skin care products might not be at fault, at all). As more research goes on, one can only keep our fingers crossed and wait for a complete solution to the challenges faced by ‘Vitamin C skin care’ today.Credit: https://www.articlesfactory.com/articles/

Healthy and radiant skin is not just the result of expensive skin care products. Rather, you need to develop healthy skin care habits and make sure you take good care of your skin. Here are 7 essential skin care tips that every women should practice: Use the Right Cleanser Cleansing your face twice a day is important. What is more important is using the right type of cleanser. If you have oily acne prone skin, look for a cleanser that contains acne fighting ingredients like salicylic acid. IS Clinical Cleansing Complex is a good choice. It is also suitable for people with sensitive skin. If you have dry skin, consider using a mild nourishing cleanser that cleans your face without drying it too much like the Obagi Nu Derm Gentle Cleanser. Change your Skin Care Products with Seasons Your skin is a living organ that is affected by external conditions like humidity, heat and cold. The skin has different requirements in different seasons. Opt for rich creamy skin care products in the winter season to combat the excessive skin dryness. And during summer, shift to light oil-free skin care products. Wash your Face before Going to Bed at Night During the day your skin is inflicted with lots of pollutants and dirt particles that may clog the skin pores. Moreover, it is also important to remove the make-up from the face lest it clogs the pores and cause acne breakouts. Use an effective cleanser or make-up remover to cleanse your face thoroughly before going to bed. Obagi C Cleansing Gel is a mild Vitamin C enriched cleansing gel that removes make-up as well as cleans the skin. Get your dose of Beauty Sleep Sleep deprivation is the primary cause of puffy eyes and dark under-eye circles. Therefore, make sure you get at least 8 hours of peaceful sleep every day. Also, you can use Kinerase Under Eye Rescue. It is an amazing eye cream that improves the appearance of eyes by reducing puffiness and diminishing the dark circles. Use Vitamin C enriched Skin Care Products Vitamin C provides immense skin care benefits. In fact, when used with sunscreens, it can provide added protection against the UV rays of the sun. Use serums that contain L-ascorbic acid, a potent form of Vitamin C that is very easily absorbed by the skin cells. iS Clinical Poly-Vitamin Serum is an ideal choice. It regenerates hydrates and provides essential vitamins, bionutrients and antioxidants to the skin and heals many unwanted skin problems. Use Specialized Anti Aging Skin Care Products It is important to recognize the changing demands of your skin and cater to them effectively. Don't wait till you see the first wrinkle on your face to start using anti aging products. Rather, start early and delay the appearance of aging signs like wrinkles, fine lines, brown spots and sagging skin. Use skin care products that contain powerful anti-aging ingredients that serve to delay and even reverse the aging signs. Try using Kinerase Brightening Anti-Aging System. It includes two products - Brightening Face Serum and Concentrated Spot Treatment. It helps to reduce wrinkles and file lines, evens out the skin tone and removes age spots and acne scars leaving your skin luminous and refreshed. Use Physician Recommended Skin Care Products Unlike over-the-counter skin care products, physician recommended products contain stronger concentrations of ingredients like alpha hydroxy acids and antioxidants that target specific skin conditions and provides relief against them.Credit: https://www.articlesfactory.com/articles/
