#003: My Favorite Superhero

Whether or not you know it, Vitamin C is a superhero.

We’ve always known to eat foods rich in Vitamin C, because it’s so important for immune system health and heart health, including blood pressure. It also helps prevent iron deficiency, and studies suggest it protects against memory and thinking disorders.

In addition, though, Vitamin C is a rockstar ingredient in skincare. Here’s what it does:

• improves fine lines

• improves collagen synthesis

• lightens and brightens

• improves skin texture

• improves light acne scarring

• improves uneven skin tone

• has potent anti-inflammatory properties

• speeds up the skin’s cellular turnover 

• helps fight the signs of premature aging

• is super hydrating

• protects against oxidative stress

If you decide to add a Vitamin C cream or serum to your regimen, do your homework to figure out which will work best for you. Experts (not me) say that to get the most benefit, use daily.

And that’s why Vitamin C is my favorite superhero.
