Vitamin C: Your Skincare Saviour

It’ll come as no surprise that sun damage, ageing and pollution leads to loss of collagen in our skin, which in turn leads to wrinkles, dehydration and sagginess. Thankfully, Mother Nature comes to the rescue with the simple answer to a more youthful-looking complexion. Thanks to its antioxidant properties, vitamin C helps our bodies fight free radicals and the damage caused by UV radiation and is proven to boost collagen production for firmer, plumper and smoother skin. By choosing skincare products that contain this clever, natural ingredient, you’ll notice a range of benefits, including more even skin tone, improved hydration and radiance. To ensure you’re getting your daily dose, here are two of my favourite products that will slot in easily into your skincare routine: HEAVEN CLEANSE & FOAM My non-abrasive exfoliator and cleanser contains organic mandarin essential oil to improve elasticity levels to ease the appearance of fine lines. This best-seller also helps balance oil levels to reduce the shine on the T-Zone. Oh, and it smells amazing too! Apply to your face in the morning or before bed with your hands or cotton wool. Massage in a circular motion to removed dirt from the pores and encourage collagen production then rinse with warm water. DIVINE CREAM Just as its name implies, this is a super luxurious moisturiser suitable for all skin types but especially good for those with more mature skin. It contains organic mandarin and orange – both natural sources of Vitamin C – to increase collagen and elastin levels for an anti-ageing treat. It’s also helpful when it comes to tackling pigmentation, acne scarring and blemish marks. Apply after your cleansing routine, morning and evening.
