π§΄ Step 4: Use Vitamin C Topically (Bonus Boost!)
While internal intake is most critical, applying vitamin C directly to your skin can provide added benefits.
- Use a vitamin C serum (with L-ascorbic acid, ideally 10β20%) on clean skin in the morning before applying moisturizer or sunscreen.
- Helps reduce dark spots, brighten tone, and fight oxidative damage.
- Store serums in a dark, airtight bottle and keep away from heat to avoid oxidation.
βοΈ Step 5: Protect Your Skin from Further Damage
Even with enough vitamin C, your skin canβt heal if itβs constantly under attack. To support your skinβs elasticity:
- Use sunscreen daily, even on cloudy days.
- Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol.
- Get 7β8 hours of sleep per night.
- Reduce stress, which increases inflammation and damages collagen.
