A vitamin party
Vitamin C is a must in your skincare routine, thanks in part to its high concentration of antioxidants. But what does it actually do for your skin? Think of an apple: take a bite and, after a while, it discolours. It turns brown because it reacts with the oxygen in the air. Apply a little lemon juice, an antioxidant, and the apple keeps its colour. In short, antioxidants protect your skin from harmful external influences and help prevent skin ageing. Vitamin C also targets pigmentation spots, while its high acidity prompts the skin to produce collagen.

Looking sharp
Vitamin C works best alongside other antioxidants. Vitamin A, better known as retinol, is a match made in heaven. At night your skin is at rest and has all the time it needs to recover, which makes it the perfect moment to use a retinol product overnight and reach for your vitamin C again in the morning. Retinol is an extremely effective cell-communicating ingredient. This means it can attach itself to almost every skin cell and signal it to behave like a healthy, younger one. Fine lines that have surfaced after a long, busy day are gone by the time you wake up.
