Vitamin C for Your Skin

Fall is all about change – changing temperatures, wardrobes and routines, too. We’re talking many routines but I can imagine as the temperatures continue to drop you may find yourself looking to incorporate more Vitamin C into your diet for a necessary immunity boost to help protect your body. But have you thought about how this nutrient can help your body’s largest organ, your skin, too?

Sure, consuming fruits and veggies rich in Vitamin C – like oranges, broccoli, bell peppers, strawberries and kale – will benefit your overall health, including your skin, but using facial products containing this powerful nutrient will help directly deliver its benefits.

Not only is Vitamin C is an anti-aging must-have, as it aids in the production of collagen (aka what helps your skin’s elasticity to keep it looking smooth and supple and shocker, you need this more as you age), but it’s also an awesome antioxidant that helps protect your skin from everyday stressors – like pollution and UV rays – that can damage skin cells.

One easy and quick way to incorporate this gentle and effective nutrient into your everyday routine is with a facial oil that contains Vitamin C. You can either add a couple of drops of our safer Counter+ No.1 Brightening Facial Oil to your daily moisturizer or use it alone (just press directly into your skin) to help brighten and even your skin tone. The oil is quickly absorbed to awaken and hydrate your skin as it delivers a well needed radiance boost – woohoo!

Plus, your skin will thank you for all that extra Vitamin C-filled hydration as winter approaches and harsh weather wreaks havoc and can dry out your skin!
