These are just some of the wonderful benefits that a daily dose of Vitamin C applied topically to the skin can do to help retain your youthful appearance.
How Can Vitamin C Protect You Against Aging?
Vitamin C can protect the body against the destructive effects of free radicals, helping to prevent cell and tissue damage that could lead to cellular damage and disease, which damage skin cells and accelerate aging.
Free radicals are molecules that are very unstable and seek to bond to other molecules to increase their stability. When free radicals bond to molecules within the body’s tissues, they can cause damage to cells or to DNA contained within the cells.
Antioxidants, like Vitamin C, work by neutralizing free radicals. Antioxidants protect the cells that counteract free radicals and are essential in providing the best skin defense, thus slowing aging.
But not all Vitamin C’s are the same, professional strength Vitamin C products offer maximum daily antioxidant protection and greater penetration than other Vitamin C products. The greater the penetration, the greater the antioxidant benefit to your skin.
Professional strength Vitamin C products are clinically proven to provide the best results to combat the aging process.
