What is Vitamin C and How Does it Work for the Skin?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Protects Against Sun Damage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Harsh ultraviolet light can cause severe skin damage without proper protection. But vitamin C, with its high levels of antioxidants, can add an extra barrier against the sun’s harmful rays. But this doesn’t mean it can replace sunscreen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Too much sun exposure can cause the skin to develop excess free radicals, which may damage cells and collagen. The antioxidants in vitamin C can blunt the effects of free radicals, minimizing harm to your skin. While vitamin C shouldn’t be used instead of SPF, it does offer some much-needed extra protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
