Glowing Skin in Autumn: A simple Vitamin C guide
Vitamin C Autumn Skincare: Fundamentals ensure radiant seasonal skin. As the leaves begin to turn and the weather gets colder, our skin often reflects the changing season. Colder weather can bring dryness, dullness, and increased sensitivity.
At Fundamentals Skincare, we think good skincare should be easy and based on science. As you adjust your skincare for cooler weather, we’re highlighting a key ingredient: Vitamin C
Vitamin C autumn skincare: why it’s good for your skin
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy skin. Naturally present in the skin, its levels tend to decrease with age and exposure to environmental stressors. You said:
Applying Vitamin C to your skin helps replenish the essential nutrients. Plus, it protects the skin against any damage and repairs, which is what your skin needs during the autumn season.
Understanding the different Vitamin C options for your skin
Not all Vitamin C types are the same. Here are some common forms found in good skincare:
L-Ascorbic Acid: The strongest type but may bother sensitive skin.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate: Gentle and good for sensitive skin, still helps brighten.
Ascorbyl Glucoside: Works slowly and steadily, with little chance of irritation.
At Fundamentals Skincare, our Vitamin C products are made to work well and be gentle on your skin.
