Your Skin Needs This, ASAP
If you're not using vitamin C on your skin, you're missing out. This powerhouse reduces signs of aging, helps boost collagen production, lessens stretch marks and acne scars, and protects skin from sun damage.
If you're looking to buy a vitamin C skincare product from the store, look for something in a dark bottle (so the vitamin in the product doesn't spoil), and look for something that has concentrated amounts of the vitamin. For an extra boost of dewy-ness, try applying your daily moisturizer on top as your skin gets used to it. Always ask your doctor before adding new products to your skincare routine!
