The skin type referred to as "normal" contains a high concentration of vitamin C, and this is the baseline condition we should always strive for. Supplying the body with an adequate amount of vitamin C is crucial for the proper functioning of the skin - our body's largest organ. It is vitamin C that supports the essential functions of the skin, i.e. stimulation of collagen synthesis and protection against negative environmental influences such as UV rays or pollution. So since the skin acts as our protective barrier, supporting it in performing its function should be part of our daily routine.
Enemy of free radicals:
Vitamin C deficiency in our body manifests itself in rough skin, bleeding gums or long-healing wounds, among other things. This we know from biology lessons, while studies have shown that reduced levels of vitamin C are also found in skin with visible signs of aging and in skin that has been affected by photoaging, or the negative effects of sunlight. And although the reasons for this have not been investigated, it is presumed that reduced levels of vitamin C affect the progression of skin aging. Vitamin C is known to be a powerful antioxidant, that is, it helps our body fight free radicals, which are known to contribute to premature skin aging.
Studies show that properly applied sunscreens block only 55% of free radicals formed by UVA radiation, which is considered one of the main contributors to skin aging.
The best catalyst for collagen synthesis:
Vitamin C is essential for collagen synthesis at every stage of its production. What's more, scientists suggest that the decline in collagen production that progresses with age can be stopped just with the help of vitamin C. It is considered one of the most effective methods of stimulating collagen production. All that is needed is to supply it in the right amount. Studies have also shown that the long-term effect of vitamin C on connective tissue cells can increase collagen synthesis by up to eight times. Vitamin C also has an effect on elastin biosynthesis. Studies have shown that vitamin C can inhibit elastin synthesis by fibroblasts. What does this mean in practice? Helping to reduce elastin buildup, which is characteristic of aging skin under the influence of sunlight.
