I don’t wear a lot of makeup in general but I’m crazy about skincare products. So when I got this email from Elizabeth Grant about the five benefits of Vitamin C for your skin I thought I’d share the tips. Elizabeth Grant put together a Vitamin C Hydra Moist Weekender Kit to help keep skin healthy and reduce wrinkles and it’s perfect to travel with! Here’s the benefits…
1. Vitamin C, aka ascorbic acid, is key to the production of collagen – a protein that aids in the growth of cells and blood vessels and gives skin its firmness and strength.
2. Vitamin C also helps create scar tissue and ligaments, and helps your skin repair itself.
3. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that slows the rate of free-radical damage (free radicals are unstable molecules that damage collagen and cause skin dryness, fine lines and wrinkles.)
4. New research shows that ascorbic acid 2-phosphate, a derivative of Vitamin C, not only neutralizes free radicals, but also reverses DNA damage!
5. Research also suggests that Vitamin C may also reduce sunburn caused by exposure to ultraviolet B radiation and prevent the consequences of long-term sun exposure, which can lead to skin cancer! This doesn’t mean you can take vitamins or apply topical Vitamin C and then bake safely in the sun, but you can help keep your skin healthy and supple by making sure you get enough of this antioxidant super vitamin!
The Elizabeth Grant Vitamin C Hydra Moist Weekender kit consists of: All Day Cream, Concentrated Serum, Eye Radiance, Hydrating Cleanser, Body Cream, and Body Scrub, all packaged in travel-friendly sizes, so you’ll have all you need whenever and wherever you go! Available at elizabethgrant.com for $59. This is perfect for me since I travel a lot!
