Here is why we highly recommend you to include vitamin C serum in your weekly skincare routine as well liposomal vitamin C in your daily nutritional uptake.<\/p>\n<h5>Collagen formation<\/h5>\n<div>Studies indicate that vitamin C is required for the manufacture of the\u00a0 collagen and stabilise the messenger molecules that encode proteins for the repair of damaged skin. So not only does\u00a0vitamin C enhance stability of the structure of skin, it also\u00a0enhances its repair process.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h5>Photo-protection<\/h5>\n<div>UV light exposure decreases the vitamin C content within skin and therefore exposure to the sun suggests greater vitamin C will need to be replenished. So Vitamin C should be worn in the summer months, followed by a high factor SPF.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Protects against and treats skin prone to pigmentation<\/div>\n<div>Vitamin C visibly brightens and improves an uneven skin tone. Vitamin C has also been shown to inhibit the synthesis of melanin, skin\u2019s pigment. It does this through a variety of mechanisms and so could prove to be\u00a0valuable in the treatment of melasma and skin prone to pigmentation.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h5>Photo-damage, fine lines and wrinkles<\/h5>\n<div>Ageing of skin can be thought of as two processes; natural ageing caused simply by the passage of time and environmental ageing as a result of pollutants, UV radiation and lifestyle factors. Observational studies have found that\u00a0increasing vitamin C intake from the diet resulted in better skin appearance and less wrinkling.\u00a0Topical applications of vitamin C for 12 weeks were shown to decrease wrinkling, reduce protein fibre damage, reduce roughness of skin and increase collagen production.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h5>Dry skin<\/h5>\n<div>Many people will experience dry skin at some stage in their lives. The effects of vitamin C are not clear however increasing dietary intake of vitamin C has been correlated with a decreased risk of dry skin.\u00a0Studies indicate that vitamin C enhances the production of barrier lipids, called ceramides,\u00a0which protect skin against water loss.<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/agenda.onlineafspraken.nl\/docs\/011\/375\/mailing\/si267fYro3a8dote2j51kp-super_glow_serum_winnar.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"253\" height=\"372\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/agenda.onlineafspraken.nl\/docs\/011\/375\/mailing\/si26di24347Y2nd8m4a9af-screen_shot_2024-08-11_at_16.46.04.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"325\" height=\"214\" \/><br \/>\nSuper Glow Serum<\/p>\n<p>ALTRIENT Vitamin C Supplement<\/p>\n<p>Kind Regards,<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>ASPA Team<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WHY IS VITAMIN C ESSENTIAL FOR SKIN AND WHAT ROLE DOES VITAMIN C Dear ASPA friends &amp; clients, At ASPA we are very big on use on vitamin C topically as well as the nutritional supplement.
