Vitamins are Essential for All

Vitamin C and the Skin

Article by Only Your Skin Care

Vitamin C is essential for the human body. It strengthens our immune system and is most recognised as a preventative of the common cold and flu. The RDA is 30mgs, during pregnancy and breast feeding the need arises to 60mgs. Smokers have a greater need for vitamin C as one cigarette is said to consume 25mgs.The body cannot make its own Vitamin C, so it is important to ensure we get it from our diet. Foods rich in Vitamin C are: citrus fruits, berries, dark leafy vegetables and potato cooked in their skins. Vitamin C begins to be lost from fruit and vegetables as soon as they are picked. Tests have shown that a freshly picked orange will contain approximately 150mg of vitamin c, while oranges in supermarkets vary from 115mg to a mere trace. Vitamin C plays a major role in the maintenance of healthy bones and connective tissue and is essential for making of collagen, keeping arteries healthy and the skin youthful. It is a powerful antioxidant which will protect other cellular structures from damage.The skin is venerable to Vitamin C deficiency because it is first utilised by other bodily functions and very little can actually be transported to the skin. In other words when we consume Vitamin C orally our skin is the last organ to receive that particular essential Vitamin. To ensure our skin receives Vitamin C we need to apply it topically. Topically applied Vitamin C has its own problems. We all know that Vitamin C is an unstable Vitamin and its power is easily lost. The problem comes when Vitamin C is put into creams and serums, it can quickly begin to lose its potency as it does in the fruit when it is picked. Cream and serums containing Vitamin C can turn rancid and be of very little use to the skin. Freshly mixed Vitamin C is the only way to ensure your skin receives the fresh active formulation which will benefit the skin in many ways. It will improve elasticity and firmness of the skin and help diminish fine lines and wrinkles. Being an antioxidant it neutralises the effects of free radicals and stimulates the Vitamin E in the skin. It will help to lighten pigmentation marks and promotes a clear and more even skin tone.In a nutshell: to ensure your body receives the correct amount of Vitamin C make sure you only eat fresh fruit and vegetables. Do not overcook vegetables and ensure your fruit is not left in the fruit bowl for days on end. Ensure the Vitamin C which is applied to the skin is freshly mixed, and has not been left on shelf losing its potency.Product http://onlyyourskincare.co.uk/product/Multi_Vitamin_C_Antioxidant_Serum_V100 Company http://www.onlyyourskincare.co.uk
