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.

Benefits of a Anti-Ageing Manicure.

Why go for a regular manicure? Well, except for the fact that it is absolutely
fabulous and relaxing, your hands will look and feel healthy. There is nothing
better than clean well-maintained fingernails. Regular manicures promotes
healthy hands and makes you feel good. It also helps with faster growth and
maintaining well moisturized cuticles.
When it comes to Elim Spa Products, we have decided to put our focus on
Anti-Ageing. This is very exciting. Our products are specially formulated to
make your hands look years younger. Not only will you look younger but your
hands will feel amazing! But enough about us for now. Let’s look at the
benefits of a Anti-Ageing Mani.
A good manicure will clean and shape your nails as well as nourish your
cuticles. Using a buffer on your nails will promote blood circulation and in turn
help keep your nails healthy and strong. During a MediHand manicure you will
get an Illuminating Nail Cleanser, this helps with stained and yellowed nails
and gives you a natural French manicured look.
Next, you will get an amazing Hydro Thermal Exfoliant. It reacts with oxygen
and heats up helping improve circulation and stimulate blood flow, It also
helps with the penetration of minerals and anti-ageing actives. The gentle wax
beads remove dead skin cells giving you that silky smooth skin.
Now for the best part of any manicure is of course the massage. Using the
Ultra Rich Hand Cream instead of massage oil is the ultimate treat! With its
anti-ageing properties your hand will look brighter and years younger! A
manicure generally but not always includes painting the nails. Not only will
having a manicure make your nails and hands look younger, it is also very
relaxing.
