Vitamin C as a "coup de coeur"!

In our glass of orange juice as in our anti-oxidant skincare products, vitamin C protects us from premature aging and keeps our body in shape. Focus on this essential for radiant skin.

Vitamin C, kesako?

From its small name L-ascorbic acid, vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that humans do not make. Its role in the body is essential. Indeed, it intervenes in the process of creation of collagen, guarantor of the elasticity and the youth of our skin but also of our brain, our nails, our hair and bones and ligaments. It accelerates tissue healing, thus boosting natural defenses by stimulating the immune system. Antioxidant active par excellence, vitamin C acts as a protective shield shouting “You will not pass! » to oxidative elements such as the sun, pollution, tobacco (etc.). Unable to synthesize it, humans must consume it through their food so as not to have deficiencies. Blackcurrant, parsley and raw red pepper are excellent sources of vitamin C. But this vitamin is delicate, it does not support too strong or too long cooking. Hence the importance of integrating a few raw food reflexes into your diet and consuming untreated organic products!

And in my cream then?

In addition to a diet rich in vitamin C, cosmetic treatments are a real boost in preserving the youthfulness of the epidermis. Favor cocktails of active ingredients that concentrate vitamins but also trace elements and nutrients for a complete treatment. La Canopée Multivitamin Awakening Cream combines vitamins A, C and E with Buriti oil and organic Rooibos to revitalize the epidermis throughout the day. In order to breathe new life into your complexion, Make It Beauty Aloe Vera Mist mobilizes the entire alphabet of vitamins (A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B9, B12, C, E) and soothes all inflammation of your skin. For a toned body and shiny hair, bet on Kadalys Green Banana Precious Nourishing Oil enriched with supercharged avocado, jojoba and green tea oils!

You will understand, for a "peach skin" look rather than "little kiwi in the bottom of the fruit basket", think of your ally:vitamin C!
