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.

The Background

Apple Cider Vinegar has long been part of folk remedies. In fact, cider vinegar is one of the oldest fermentation processes known to man!

It all started when the Babylonians and Egyptians started making wine. Next, around 2500BC, a nomadic tribe created a soured apple wine — the forerunner of apple cider — before people all over the world began experimenting with ACV.

Supposedly even the Ancient Greeks were into the stuff! Today, this ancient remedy has been resurrected and glorified to the max — for good reason, too.

The Active Ingredients (aka, the nerdy stuff)

    - Tonik No.2 Apple Cider Vinegar is organic, unfiltered and contains the mighty “mother” — a natural source of body-loving proteins, digestive enzymes and friendly bacteria. It’s what gives the liquid its cloudy appearance, and also what makes your gut smile.

    - Tonik No.2 also contains vitamins B1, B2, and B6; biotin; folic acid; niacin; pantothenic acid; and vitamin C.
    - Smaller amounts of the minerals include sodium, phosphorous, potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium and significant quantities of acetic acid and citric acid (aka, the good stuff).

The Process

Apple Cider Vinegar is fermented juice from crushed apples.

Ours is carefully processed to preserve the benefits of the all-important ‘mother of the vinegar’ and is made in a two-step process.

The first step exposes crushed apples (or apple cider) to yeast, which ferments the sugars and turns them into alcohol. In the second step, friendly bacteria is added to the alcohol solution, which further ferments the alcohol and turns it into acetic acid — the main active compound in vinegar.

The result? More health benefits than ya mum’s apple pie.

650mg
