[Ingredient Focus] Bring Back the C in Confidence with Vitamin C! - After Sun Care Tips

 Now that summer is coming to an end, it’s time to treat those pretty sunburned faces of yours. Though it was great to finally go out and get some well-deserved sunshine and fresh air, being outdoors for a long time means you are bound to be exposed to harmful UVB and UVA rays. Exposure to sun rays causes not only the obvious signs of sunspots but it also damages the collagen that’s in your skin, which reduces skin elasticity and causes premature aging. This is why after-sun care is vital in preventing the negative effects of sun damage.

All About Vitamin C

In the pursuit of brighter and flawless skin, Vitamin C is one of the most talked-about ingredients out there. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that prevents oxidative stress and helps protect the skin. It’s also anti-inflammatory, so it aids in reducing skin inflammation and redness. Using products with Vitamin C helps to reduce and fade sun spots caused by sun damage.

Below are some tips to incorporate into your daily routine to help you recover from those sunburns.

1. Exfoliate

In order to help get rid of the flakiness from your sunburn and help you get an even complexion, it is important to exfoliate. Also, exfoliation helps your skin better absorb the brightening ingredients improving the efficacy of the skincare products. 

When Recommends: When Rose Coconut Gentle Exfoliating Scrub Mask is a non-irritating and gentle exfoliator that’ll smooth out any patchy skin and help brighten your skin tone.

2. Serum

Put on a brightening serum after the exfoliation or deep cleansing for maximum performance of the serum. The brightening nutrients of the serum will help to reduce dark spots and uneven complexion from too much sun.

When Recommends: Our When Revivifying Pure Five Serum with SEANOL^® contains only five ingredients: SEANOL (brown algae extract), Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, Distilled Water, and 1,2-Hexanediol and has a very light texture so that the nutrients of the serum can be immediately absorbed by the skin for maximum effectiveness. It nourishes and brightens dull-looking skin, leaving your skin feeling revived and energized. It’s also a clean beauty product as it is fragrance-free, allergens-free, paraben-free, and phthalate-free.

3. Vitamin C Infused Sheet Mask

Sheet masks containing Vitamin C helps to deliver the nutrients easily and efficiently to the skin as the sheet helps to prevent the evaporation of the essence or serum infused in the sheet mask.

When Recommends: Our Simply When Citron Brightening Mask contains extracts from citron grown in Jeju Island. Did you know that citron extracts contain three times more Vitamin C than lemons? This citron sheet mask will effectively brighten sunspots and tone up skin while retaining moisture in the skin damaged by UV rays and heat.
