What are they & why are they important? Antioxidants help protect your body from free radicals. When these radicals accumulate, they put the body through oxidative stress leaving it up to antioxidants, that are found in foods and produced in your body, to help protect against cell damage. What we're trying to say is, Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant and aids in disease prevention which is pretty darn great.

Research has indicated that topical application of Vitamin C greater protects against these harmful free radicals, more than oral supplementation used for the same purpose.

 

 

 3. Who Doesn't Love A Nice Glow?

This process also aids in reducing dark spots and pigmentation and evening out skin tone. A win-win situation all around. 

 

4. All About The Plump.
