Lights on: Vitamin C ✨🍊✨
We all know how important vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is to our bodies.
In fact, vitamin C fortifies the immune system and can be very useful to us against the ailments of the winter season.
Vitamin C belongs to the group of so-called water-soluble vitamins, that is, those that cannot be stored in the body, but must be taken regularly through food.
There are many foods rich in vitamin C: oranges and citrus fruits, but peppers, broccoli, kiwifruit, strawberries, tomatoes and in general all fresh fruits and vegetables, preferably eaten raw, are also rich in it.
The benefits that vitamin C offers are many and are due to its strong antioxidant power that counteracts the action of free radicals by slowing cell aging, fortifies blood vessels, and hinders cardiovascular disease and other degenerative diseases. Vitamin C is essential for intestinal absorption of iron and plays an important role in collagen formation in bones and skin, improving their structure.
And it is precisely this antioxidant power of its that interests us because, as already mentioned, it counteracts the action of free radicals and stimulates the natural production of collagen, which decreases with the passage of time.
On the skin, Vitamin C prevents dark spots caused by sun exposure, natural skin aging or post pimple and also has an excellent brightening and glowing effect.
Therefore, the application of products containing Vitamin C are particularly effective in counteracting the lack of glow on the body and face skin.
Very important is the quality of the Vitamin C present in cosmetics: it must be of high quality, easily absorbed by the skin and must not irritate the skin, a problem often encountered by sensitive skin.
The products I want to present to you today, of course, meet all the qualities listed above and more.
For the face, a very good and effective help comes from Odacité’s “Brightening Serum” which contains encapsulated vitamin C+E, hyaluronic acid, vitamins A+B+D to nourish and revitalize the skin, and squalene, a humectant that supports the skin’s natural barrier.
Brightening Serum, thanks to the exclusive “Encapsulated Complex” patent, is suitable for all skin types (including sensitive skin) to counteract, but also prevent, dark spots and signs of aging by giving the skin a firmer and glowy appearance.
Body skin also wants its attention, especially in winter when it is suffocated by layers of clothes. In fact, it is in winter that body skin is most prone to dryness, cellulite, keratosis pilaris and a general graying due to the accumulation of dead cells. To avoid finding ourselves with dull skin when spring arrives and we begin to undress, here comes to our aid again vitamin C present in double dose in the “Hydra-Firm Body Polish C-Smooth Vitamin C” and the “Hydra-Firm Body Oil C&E Glow +Kacadu” the latter rich in shea and mango butters , wild carrot, rosemary and safflower oils to elasticize, nourish and deeply moisturize the skin.
With this body treatment you will find from the first application a brighter, firmer, softer and silkier body skin.
The citrusy aroma of the exfoliant and the oil give a beneficial and regenerating effect.
So do not miss this valuable vitamin in your diet and skincare routine.
