A daily oral dose of vitamin C helps protect against the production of free radicals (from exposure to pollution and ultraviolet rays, for example) and boosts immunity to help reduce the impact of a cold virus, according to the National Institutes of Health. But it’s also essential for healthy skin.
“Vitamin C provides antioxidant protection to prevent fine lines and wrinkles, treats hyperpigmentation and boosts collagen production,” explains Brandi Gregge, owner of Mint & Needle in Middletown and Lewes. “And it’s easy to add to any skin care routine.”
