The Role of Vitamin C in Skin Lightening

There are a lot of ingredients that can help whiten our skin. From the new chemicals they introduce daily to many different herbal or natural ingredients, but there is still an ingredient that gives us the most benefits of all and that is Vitamin C (also known as L-ascorbic acid).

We often hear people say how much Vitamin C is good for the protection of our immune system and body. But something else that isn't mentioned often is how much it can help us whiten our skin. In most beauty products that you see in the market today, almost everything has Vitamin C included in them.

So why is Vitamin C very important to skin whitening? To help you understand how it works, you must first know how our body processes skin pigmentation. The melanin that’s produced in our body determines our skin color. The darker your skin is, the more melanin your body produces.

Many factors can increase the production of melanin; this includes estrogen imbalance, sun exposure, post inflammatory hyperpigmentation and some medications. While the increase of pigmentation of our skin is mostly because of smoke, UV radiation, pollution and other free radicals that can potentially damage our skin.

Vitamin C and Skin Whitening

A product that promises to whiten your skin actually slows down the production of melanin in your skin. Vitamin C works in many ways in order for our skin to be lighter, here are some of them:

• Vitamin C has enzyme tyrosoinase which reduces the production of melanin on the surrounding of hair follicles.
• It has an antioxidant effect that gets rid of free radicals that can darken you skin and slow down the process of aging.
• It also helps increase the effects of Vitamin E and glutathione that are known as great antioxidants.
• Vitamin C can repair damaged skin caused by the sun.
• Vitamin C is known for being a mild exfoliant that takes away dried skin cells for your skin whitening and smoothing.

Other Benefits Of Vitamin C In Your Skincare Regimen

Not only does this vitamin helps your way for skin whitening, but science has also proven that it can give a lot of benefits to the skin as well. This vitamin is critical for your collagen synthesis which gives elasticity so that it will stay firm and younger looking.
