Lets Look Forward To The Spring and Prepare our Skin to Come Out of Hibernation

Recently, we had snow over many parts of the country and temperatures were very sub-zero. It felt like this Lockdown winter had been going on for ever as each bleak day dragged by.

This week though things feel decidedly different. The frost has gone, the snow thawed and dare I say it, there has been a glimmer of sun now and then. Temperatures are up and it’s starting to remain a bit lighter in the evenings now. The birds are singing.  Spring is on its way at last!

During this time our skin has suffered due to the dehydrating effects of winter, central heating and cold weather, and this can make our complexions look dry, lack lustre and dull.

A fantastic remedy for this, to boost skin radiance, so we can emerge from hibernation with vitality, is the use of Vitamin C topical applications. Vitamin C is particularly essential in the maintenance of healthy skin, being a fantastic antioxidant, it protects the cells from stress due to free radicals, pollution, and UV radiation.

Our skin is comprised of around 70% collagen and Vitamin C helps to promote collagen production, leading to greater skin integrity, extra skin thickness and the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. It can also help combat inflammation and redness so can be very helpful if you are suffering with Rosacea. An added bonus is that it can supress pigment formation to keep skin looking young and vibrant. Who doesn’t want this?

The Obagi Vitamin C Packages contain the most popular products from the Professional-C Portfolio. Formulated with L-Ascorbic Acid which is the most powerful form of Vitamin C, to optimise efficacy and permeability. These packages are ideal for maintaining effective skin hydration, daily antioxidant defence, lightening and brightening the skin to remove pigmentation marks, softening a dull uneven skin tone, smoothing the texture and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. In addition they feel lovely and lightweight to apply, sink in beautifully and have a delicate aroma of citrus
