Jones Magazine: the [skin]ny with Tracey Brown– Vitamin C
From my column at Jonesmag.com
Are you hiding behind layers of foundation and concealer in an effort to give the illusion that you have flawless skin? Are you wishing that your complexion was even, bright and clear? Kiss those dark spots, uneven pigmentation and dull, lackluster skin goodbye with a regular dose of Vitamin C.
What your skin is craving is healthy dose of topical Vitamin C. A natural antioxidant that comes in various forms, Vitamin C has been shown to reduce melanin formation and brighten skin when applied topically.
Look for Vitamin C in the form of l-ascorbic acid, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate,sodium ascorbyl phosphate or Vitamin C ester, known as ascorbyl palmitate.
So kick all that makeup to the curb and get your skin glowing with a mega-dose of C. And don’t forget to use a sunscreen daily!
