Γιατί χρησιμοποιούμε τη βιταμίνη C το πρωί;

The βιταμίνη C είναι ένα ισχυρό αντιοξειδωτικό, που σημαίνει ότι βοηθά στην εξουδετέρωση των ελευθέρων ριζών — ασταθών μορίων που προκαλούνται κυρίως από έκθεση στον ήλιο, ρύπανση και άλλους περιβαλλοντικούς παράγοντες. Η χρήση της το πρωί έχει στρατηγικό ρόλο γιατί:

• Αντιοξειδωτική προστασία από UV ακτινοβολία και ρύπανση
  • Η βιταμίνη C ενισχύει την άμυνα του δέρματος απέναντι στις βλάβες που προκαλούνται από τις υπεριώδεις ακτίνες (UVA/UVB) και τις ελεύθερες ρίζες που δημιουργούνται από το φως της ημέρας.
  • Research shows that topical application of vitamin C reduces photoaging and helps prevent DNA damage in skin cells.
    (Kameyama et al., 1996; Lin et al., 2003)
• Enhance the effectiveness of sunscreen
  • When combined with sunscreen, vitamin C multiplies protection from UV radiation. While it does not replace sunscreen, it does enhance its ability to protect against oxidative damage. (Lin FH, Lin JY, Gupta RD, et al., 2003. Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology)
• Stability and bioavailability
  • Although vitamin C is vulnerable to light and air, applying it in the morning , before sun exposure, ensures optimal action when it is most needed. Absorption occurs almost immediately, so it works throughout the day.

Do we use vitamin C in the summer?

Yes, not only is it safe — it's also highly beneficial.

Benefits of using vitamin C in summer:

• Protection against photoaging
  • In the summer, UV radiation is more intense. Vitamin C protects against collagen damage and skin damage caused by the sun.
• Whitening discolorations & spot prevention
  • Vitamin C inhibits melanin synthesis, contributing to the prevention and reduction of existing dark spots and blemishes.
• Acceleration of skin renewal
  • After sun exposure, vitamin C accelerates skin regeneration, reducing redness and inflammation.

Do we use vitamin C at night?

• Repairs the day's wear and tear
  Evening is the time when the skin enters regeneration modeVitamin C:
  • It helps to repair damage from UV radiation and daytime pollution.
  • It enhances collagen synthesis and helps tighten and renew the skin.
• Reduction of discoloration and even tone
  • It acts as a tyrosinase inhibitor, the enzyme that produces melanin, and thus improves the appearance of dark spots and dull skin even during the night.
