You may have already heard that Vitamins C and E are popular ingredients when it comes to skincare and overall health. It is indeed true that these vitamins are a great addition to your skincare routine as they stimulate the repair, development, and growth of your skin. In this article, we will discuss the benefits of these vitamins, who should use them, and who should avoid them.
Vitamin C offers several benefits for your skin. Firstly, it evens and brightens your skin tone by blocking melanin production, which causes dark brown or black pigment. This helps to minimize the appearance of dark spots. Additionally, Vitamin C aids in the natural healing process of your skin, facilitating the regeneration of skin cells. It also activates collagen production, while removing damaged skin cells. You don’t need to worry about losing hydration because Vitamin C enhances the production of barrier lipids, which are natural fats that protect against sun damage.
Vitamin E also provides numerous benefits for your skin. Firstly, it is a powerful antioxidant that protects your cells against exposure to radicals and sun damage. For sensitive skin that experiences redness or irritation, Vitamin E can help to soothe and heal the irritated skin. Lastly, it promotes the development of new skin cells while renewing old ones.
Using Vitamins C and E together promotes collagen production and supports the natural barrier of the skin. They both protect against UV damage, wrinkles, and fine lines. Using them together enhances their effectiveness, resulting in healthy-looking skin.
Despite the numerous benefits of Vitamins C and E, it is essential to know which ingredients to mix them with and which ones to avoid. Ingredients such as SPF, lactic acid, or hyaluronic acid can be mixed together, while ingredients that contain AHA or BHA, such as glycolic, salicylic, and lactic acids, should not be mixed together.
Altogether, Vitamin C and E are excellent additions to your skincare routine.
