Vitamin C enriched skincare best for Pigmentation by Best Facials in Singapore
Vitamin C is my Skin Superfoods.
Vitamin C skincare directly helps whiten skin by inhibiting the production of an enzyme called tyrosinase which lessens production of melanin pigment.
This helpful vitamin also helps boosts the production of another important antioxidant, namely Glutathione which helps to change the metabolic pathway of melanin from synthesizing dark pigmented melanin (eumelanin) to creating light-pigmented melanin (phaemelanin).
As a result, new pigments can’t be formed and existing pigments lightens.
Besides eating food rich in Vitamin C, avoiding the sun, it is recommended to use Vitamin C serum and cream appropriately. To avoid the side effects likes dryness and sensitive skin, here are some tips on how to use Vitamin C on the skin.
1. Use 2 weeks of Vitamin C serum in a month
2. Use Vitamin C only at night as it is photosensitive
3. Keep skin hydrated with emolient like Hyaluronic Acid Serum in the day. Read more on Hyaluronic Acid best for dehydrated skin by Best Facials Singapore.
4. Keep skin oil balanced with cream enriched with good quality essential oil at night
Before starting Vitamin C as part of your skincare routine, it is important to be committed to a good skincare routine to avoid drying out the skin as dehydrated (lack of water) and dry (lack of oil) skin tends to show fine lines and gets pigmented.
It is important to adhere to the Rule of Thumb skincare routine of Hydrating in the day and Oil rich products at night to achieve water-oil balanced skin. Also, whether Vitamin C is incorporated as part of serum or cream, it is important the product is applied thinly in the order of Cleanser, Toner, Serum followed by Cream.
Vitamin C is a potent ingredient. It has to be used with care and alternating this super skincare with Vitamin A as a corrective serum for pigmentation and anti-aging will yield good results.
