There are so many days to celebrate through out the year, and today is a pretty cool one to me!! I love skin care and learning about the best ways to keep my skin looking fresh and flawless!!! April 4th is National Vitamin C day!!! Vitamin C is important for your body and skin, and I am sharing a little bit of information from SkinCeuticals. They founded the day in 2019 and give a little break down on the science behind Vitamin C and why it is so important for us. Keep reading below.

Today, marks the second annual National Vitamin C Day. This day is dedicated to showcasing the SkinCeuticals science behind the importance of Vitamin C for skin health and beauty, recognizing the brand's results-driven, clinically-proven, antioxidant serums, and emphasizing the importance of incorporating Vitamin C into daily routines to protect against daily aggressors both indoors and out.

Vitamin C is an essential step in any skincare regimen as it protects skin health against combined aggressors. These offenders are silent and cause ongoing damage to the skin without warning. Innocuous tasks such as checking your phone and sitting in front of a computer cause exposure to invisible light, going for a run outside leads to UVA ray exposure, and the simple act of taking a hot shower can render individuals vulnerable to heat damage. Dr. Giuseppe Valacchi, leading researcher in the study of ozone, explains that "the exposure to atmospheric aggressors (UV light, ozone, and diesel engine exhaust) is equivalent to 2-3 hours of outdoor exposure on a sunny day, in a city like Rome or New York." 

SkinCeuticals is dedicated to offering the gold standard in skincare, and as such, continuously studies and researches Vitamin C. Traditionally, the effects of atmospheric aggressors on skin have been tested individually. This year, SkinCeuticals' science was rooted in understanding the comprehensive impact of combined daily aggressors. This new study has proven that antioxidants effectively help neutralize chemical reactions generated by exposure to combined aggressors – ultraviolet light, ozone, and diesel engine exhaust – that one would experience in a typical, urban environment. SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic is now clinically proven to reduce combined oxidative damage from free radicals generated by all three aggressors by up to 41%. 

The popularity of topical Vitamin C products has risen dramatically, however, not all Vitamin C serums are created equal. Born from academic science, SkinCeuticals patented Vitamin C serums are backed by 16 clinical studies, over 30 years of research, and 60+ beauty awards. The brand's antioxidant formulations are the gold standard for correcting visible signs of aging like fine lines and uneven skin tone, and helping prevent the appearance of future skin damage. 

"We find it important to have a dedicated day to continue to educate on the power of Vitamin C, an ingredient that has, since our inception, fueled some of our favorite and most efficacious products," states Christina Fair, SkinCeuticals U.S. General Manager. She continues, "Our SkinCeuticals antioxidants offer advanced environmental protection and are clinically proven to improve the appearance of fine lines and promote a naturally even skin tone, making it an imperative step in any skincare regimen for healthy-looking skin."
