Whenever Dr. Oz endorses a product, the whole country takes notice, even if he may sometimes exaggerate just to add to his performance. However, when America’s TV doc claimed recently that Vitamin C products can “drop a decade from your face,” he was 100% accurate! Vitamin C, also called ascorbic acid, is an antioxidant that fights off free radicals, which are groups of atoms that can start a chain-reaction of destruction inside and outside the body. The human body makes its own antioxidants, but it’s not enough to save your skin from the ravages of time; for that, you need Vitamin C skin care.
How do you get the natural anti-aging skin care benefits of Vitamin C? You can eat a lot of oranges, strawberries, and spinach, or you can take Vitamin supplements. But there’s a better way: topical creams containing Vitamin C can be applied directly to the skin to keep your skin supple and youthful. In fact, the latest skin care serums combine Vitamin C with other natural anti-aging skin care products to fight the free radicals that age your skin prematurely. Here’s a brief look at the benefits of Vitamin C products for your skin

They say everything in nature is about balance, and that is no less true when it comes to our skin. Achieving the delicate ying and yang of beautiful skin may come down to maintaining the right pH balance. So, what is the magic pH level of healthy skin? On a scale of 0 to 14, the ideal state is slightly acidic, sitting around 5.
What products we use can also affect the pH level of healthy skin. Have you ever wondered why some cleansers give your skin that squeaky-clean tight feeling? They could be disrupting your skin’s pH level. Choose soap-free cleansers that are pH balanced (not too alkaline or too acidic) that fall within the range of normal, healthy skin.
