Vitamin-C has been proven in clinical studies to reduce skin wrinkles. A study found that daily use of a vitamin-C formulation for at least three months reduced fine and coarse wrinkles on the face and neck.
As it is easily soluble in water. So the skin absorbs it easily. This vitamin is very beneficial for oily skin. People with dry and normal skin can also use vitamin-C products. Vitamin-C is so safe that products containing vitamin-A, vitamin-E, hyaluronic acid etc. can be used with it. It reduces skin inflammation and reduces redness. As it increases collagen and strengthens blood vessels, it is also very effective for scalp and hair health.
Sources of Vitamin-C:
Mainly fruits and raw vegetables are the main sources of vitamin-C. A lot of vitamin-C is found in some fruits and vegetables like lemons, sweet potatoes, oranges, broccoli, amla, lettuce, strawberries, tomatoes, guavas, green peppers etc.
So these can be eaten to get vitamin-C. To get full vitamins from them, it is better to eat them raw. Because the fresher such vegetables and fruits are, the more vitamin-C will be found in them.
