Bright, Firm, and Protected: The Role of Vitamin C in Skincare
Vitamin C should be a vital component to your daily skincare regime. It is a powerful antioxidant that assists the cells in fighting off free radicals that damage our skins natural Elastin fibres and Collagen proteins. Damage to these components of the skin result in premature aging and the formation of fine lines and wrinkles on the skin. Vitamin C plays a pivotal role in the production of not only Collagen, but maintains the skins elasticity, firmness and structure.
By stimulating collagen synthesis within the skin, we can promote a more plump, youthful appearance on the skin. In addition to assisting the skin in slowing down the loss of this protein in the skin, Vitamin C also allows for overall improvement in the skins texture.
Vitamin C can improve darkened areas on the skin, also known as hyperpigmentation, including melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and age spots, by brightening the skin, and evening out the skin tone, as well as act as a protection to the skins cells by shielding the skin from the harmful effects of UV damage. This is achieved by Vitamin C inhibiting melanin synthesis by slowing down the activity of an enzyme known as tyrosinase.
Although Vitamin C is not in any way a substitute for sun protection, Vitamin C, paired with the correct sun protection, is the ultimate protection against the effects of UVA and UVB damage on in the skin.
Incorporating products such as the SkincareRx C-Fix Crystals, which will amp up any serum by delivering Vitamin C into the skin in its most concentrated form, to rejuvenate the skin while fighting the effects of aging and pigmentation, or TheraVine’s Anti-Wrinkle Skin Booster which not only smoothes out the appearance of deep lines and wrinkles, but also enhances collagen synthesis and inhibits melanin synthesis.

ABOUT THE CUPRON COSMETIC PILLOWCASE
“Sleeping with a copper-infused pillow is the latest step in the fight against ageing – and it’s producing outstanding visible results.”
Skincare expert Metro-Dora Clifford said copper was making a comeback as a mineral that can help promote collagen, is hypoallergenic and is environmentally friendly.
“A century ago copper was used to kill bacteria in the body but was eclipsed by the use of antibiotics,” said Ms Clifford.
“With new technology and proven clinical studies, the move towards natural products is now the preferred option. It is now possible to weave copper-oxide into fabrics to boost your skincare benefits,” she said.
“Wrinkles develop over time because the skin loses its firmness and elasticity, mostly due to loss of proteins like collagen and elastin."
“Cupron USA has developed a pillowcase made with copper-infused fibres. The copper in the pillowcase can help promote the natural growth of these diminished proteins and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and crow’s feet.”
“The brilliant thing about the pillowcase is that the appearance of your facial skin will improve while you’re asleep.”
Ms Clifford said the pillowcase worked by:
· Using the natural skin-enhancing benefits of Copper-oxide infused into the fibres in the fabric.
· The copper ions being activated by the moisture released from your facial skin while you sleep.
· Copper is scientifically proven as a mineral that can help regenerate collagen which plays an important role in enhancing the appearance and texture of your skin
· The skin is nourished deeply while you sleep as penetration of your skincare is further improved
· Over the course of four weeks, the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles has been clinically proven to be reduced significantly
“Imagine having your pillowcase transformed into a cosmetic device to help you look a whole lot better!”
The Cupron Pillowcase looks and feels no different from any other satin pillowcase, but you will be able to see the difference in yourself, in just four weeks.
“The copper in the satin lasts the lifetime of the fabric, even with repeated washes, and never loses its effectiveness.”
“You can make your lotions and cremes work better for you when used with the pillowcase.”
