How to Select the Best Vitamin C Mask

Perhaps you’ve read in your favorite beauty magazine or online blog that Vitamin C is the new “it” ingredient for skin. That’s because it is a potent antioxidant that can neutralize free radicals, and more.

 

 If you suffer from the woes of hyperpigmentation, dark spots and uneven skin tone, you may have heard that this skin-care ingredient’s effectiveness rivals chemical-based products that can be harsh and potentially dangerous.

 

Board-certified dermatologist Patricia Wexler explains just why you’ll want to make friends with this powerful antioxidant.

 

“Because of its antioxidant properties, Vitamin C aids in your skin’s natural regeneration process, which helps your body repair damaged skin cells,” Dr. Wexler said in an Allure magazine interview.

 

So, you know how you’re encouraged to eat antioxidant-rich food to help your body fight off those nasty free radicals? Well, when applied topically, Vitamin C can do the same thing for your skin. Plus, it triggers the skin to heal itself by accelerating the production of collagen and elastin.

 

Skincare experts urge hyperpigmentation sufferers to use a high-quality Vitamin C mask regularly.

 Understanding the logic behind the advice

 

“It contains a property that inhibits your skin’s melanin production, which is what causes skin discoloration like dark spots and hyperpigmentation,” Dr. Wexler says. “With continued topical use, Vitamin C can help prevent dark spots from forming in the first place.”

 

But if you Google Vitamin C Face Masks, you’ll get dizzy with the choices out there.

 

 

 What’s a beauty to do? Listen up girl…

 

 Before you spend a penny or waste hours researching on “Dr. Google,” here’s some simple tips for making a purchase you won’t regret. 

 

  • BFF Vitamins: Insist on a mask that includes other antioxidant BFF’s of Vitamin C: namely vitamins E and B-5. Here’s why: Vitamin C’s effectiveness increases when combined with other antioxidant vitamins.

 

  • Stellar support crew: Studies show that turmeric and Aloe Vera are must-haves in a quality dark spot-fighting mask. They also go a long way in enhancing skin texture and tone, while promoting a healthy, confident glow.

 

  • Clays are not all the same: It sounds crazy, but it’s true. Clay-based beauty products – such as masks -- have been used for thousands of years as a way for extracting impurities from the skin, soothing the skin and giving the skin a deep detoxification. Skincare experts suggest Kaolin Australian clay because it’s known to be effective in drawing out impurities and also gentle for even sensitive skin.

 

  • Other Considerations: To get the very best results look for products that feature 100% organic and natural ingredients from reputable sources. And while you’re at it, why not insist on a product that is vegan and not ever tested on animals.
