Why Do I Need Vitamin C?

Why you need Vitamin C

We've been binge watching The Goop Lab over on Netflix, and we're loving its focus on wellness and natural remedies. One of our favorite natural miracle ingredients is Vitamin C. Here's how it benefits both your diet and your skin!

What's special about Vitamin C

Vitamin C boasts so many benefits, but here are the top ways that this powerful vitamin supports your beauty and wellness needs.

Collagen production

One of Vitamin C's key qualities is how it helps boost collagen production. The protein collagen improves skin elasticity and helps prevent fine lines and wrinkles. But, since it depletes as we age, a Vitamin C based product gives your collagen levels a much-needed boost.

Free radical protection

Free radicals are a leading cause of sun-based skin damage. Vitamin C accelerates skin cell turnover to replenish damaged skin cells, but it also helps prevent skin damage in the first place by neutralizing these free radicals.

Improved hydration

When used frequently, Vitamin C based products can improve your skin's moisture retention and make your skin appear brighter with less dryness. It works by reducing the rate that your skin loses water.  

Dark spot prevention 

Vitamin C can help inhibit melanin production. If you apply Vitamin C to your skin, its properties can prevent dark spots and aging spots from forming, otherwise known as hyperpigmentation. 

Immune system protection

We could all use a little immune support, especially in the colder months – luckily, Vitamin C has you covered. It boosts your immune system and helps your body fight off colds, flu, and other infections.
