We all know that being a mum can be stressful at times; juggling family life, work and home chores, but did you know what these stresses are doing to our skin health?

Your skin is especially vulnerable to free radical damage from external sources like stress, pollution, fatigue and smoking. Free radical damage is one of the main causes of premature ageing.

What we can do to help?

Antioxidants like vitamin C can help get rid of these damaging free radicals. It also helps boost collagen production to repair and renew damaged skin. When choosing your vitamin C product, it is advisable to choose a serum. This is the best type of application as serums tend to penetrate quickly and they can contain high levels of vitamin C.

The many benefits of vitamin C :

- Protects skin cells and the skin’s support structure from UV damage

- Improves the appearance of sun-damaged skin

- Strengthens the skin’s barrier

- Reduces inflammation

- Encourages collagen production

- Reduces hyperpigmentation

- Enhances the efficacy of sunscreen actives

Vitamin C lifts tiredness from the skin and stress, leaving it looking brighter, healthier and more radiant.
