I heard that taking vitamin C orally can reduce wrinkles. I am 30 years old and I notice wrinkles, so I want to know is it better to apply vitamin C on skin or to take it orally?

Thanks for advice,
Sonia

Yes, Vitamin C can reduce wrinkles. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant. This means that it acts on the cellular level in your skin--which is where wrinkles actually begin.It is also know to help build collagen---the protein structure in your skin which helps your skin to keep firm and resilient. You should look for it in the form of L-ascorbic acid in skincreams.

Vitamin C is an anti oxidant, meaning that it reduces something known as free radicals. It is thought that free radicals are involved in decreasing normal chemical reactions in the body. Other anti oxidant agents are vitamins A and E.
In the case of vitamin C and wrinkles the chemical reaction involved is thought to be collagen synthesis. Thus Vitamin C Cream or Cellex-C is able to increase collagen synthesis, smoothing out wrinkles.
Vitamin C Cream or Cellex-C restores the skin while tretinoin and alpha hydroxy acids - AHA - exfoliate the skin to make it look smoother.

I'm glad that I'm taking ascorbic acid daily. Is it true that it is also prevents cancer?

Facial wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process. As the skin ages, the appearance of lines around the eyes, lips, on the forehead and other areas of the face start to form and become more obvious as the years pass.

Although they can’t be completely eliminated without surgery, there are plenty of ways to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Eating a healthy, nutritious diet will provide your body with all of the nutrients it needs to keep your skin looking its absolute best. A diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables will be rich in antioxidants that can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Healthy fats and proteins also play a key role in skin health and can help minimize the appearance of wrinkles.

Vitamin supplements can reduce wrinkles. Vitamin E promotes healthy skin. Vitamin A is good for the skin’s health and also helps protect against UV radiation that can deepen wrinkles. Vitamin C has many positive affects on the skin, as it can help reduce swelling, aid in collagen regeneration and reduce the length and depth of wrinkle lines.

Drinking plenty of water keeps skin well hydrated, and this can help reduce wrinkles. Aim to drink up to 8-10 glasses of water daily to flush out toxins that may accumulate in your skin and improve circulation. Since the skin is made up of 90% water, so drinking plenty of water is essential to skin health.

Exercise can help reduce wrinkles by promoting healthy circulation and oxygenation of the skin. Exercise can also reduce tension that causes tight facial muscles. When the facial muscles are relaxed, wrinkles are less pronounced and are also less likely to deepen.

I am not sure about the effectiveness of Vitamin C being applied directly on skin for wrinkles. But, I do know that Vitamin E works well for wrinkles especially the pure Vitamin E oil.

Absolutely! We should be loasing up Vitamin c as well as vitamin E to prevent those. On the other hand, we could also use virgin coconut oil, just massage it to the area.
