Skin vitamin C is one of the great vitamins can help you look younger and fresher every day. Its vitamin properties will give a healthy glow and keep up your skin’s elasticity. Why is it so good? Because it does a number of things such as moisturizes, softens, cleans and also helps encourage the collagen growth.

Vitamin C is also very good antioxidant. Antioxidants are known to help fight free radicals which are part of everyday life. Free radicals come about because of the oxygenation that happens naturally whenever we are exposed to the air or when we eat foods.

Ascorbic acid is a form of vitamin C that has not been altered. In other words, it is raw vitamin C. This type of vitamin C is used as an exfoliate because of its acidity. There are other versions of vitamin C which are less acidic, such as the palmitate or lipophilic. These are less well known versions of vitamin C but have the great properties shown above to help reduce the affects of free radicals, but at a less expensive price range.

Vitamin C of course has been in use for a very long time. Its use was discovered as a prevention to scurvy and ever since then researchers have been trying to see what other great uses can come from using this vitamin. Dr. Linus Pauling found that vitamin C can also be used to help stave off colds and so used it on a regular basis.

You should think of vitamin C as a great overall vitamin, whether you use it internally or as part of an overall topical skin regimen. Added to the other great ingredients in skin care products, it can do wonders to keep your skin looking young and healthy.

Aloe vera contains vitamin C and other vitamins good for your skin. In fact, vitamins A, C and E provide Aloe Vera’s antioxidant activity and neutralize free radicals, therefore can help you prevent stretch marks as well.

Prevent Stretch Marks with Aloe Vera Gel and Lotion

July 26, 2010 By Beauty Secrets Leave a Comment

For years, aloe vera has been praised for its healing properties in many areas. Recent clinical studies have also shown it has a rejuvenating effect on skin.

Aloe vera lotion and gel are effective for a number of skin problems including sunburn, treating sores, treating cuts, and more. Aloe vera can even be used without purchasing gels if you have an aloe vera plant in your home. Simply cutting a leaf from the plant, splitting it open and applying the gel to your sunburn will provide immediate and soothing relief. A study conducted in the 1990s found that aloe vera was more effective in treating moderate to severe burns than covering them in gauze bandages (Farrar, 2005).

Aloe vera is particularly effective in preventing stretch marks. It can be an essential ally in guarding against tearing of skin that produces stretch marks. And fighting scars is important because stretch marks are essentially scars created by tearing of a woman’s skin during pregnancy.

However, while stretch marks are most often associated with pregnancy, a woman doesn’t have to be pregnant to experience stretch marks. And they are not restricted to women alone. Stretch marks form in some women during puberty, but they can impact both women and men as a result of obesity and sudden muscle growth as a result of using steroids.

Whether a result of pregnancy, obesity or other factors, aloe vera help heal the wounds created by the formation of scar tissue which prevents the onset of stretch marks.

The gel from this North African plant is obtained by cutting up open the lower leafs of the plant. Commercial products containing aloe vera or aloe vera extract can be purchased throughout the world at pharmacies, grocery stores, and Beauté Claire.

Although clinical studies in the past few years have pointed to its effectiveness, aloe vera has been used for thousands of years by the Egyptians, Romans, Greeks, Arabs, Indians and Chinese to decrease the appearance of scars, prevent stretch marks, and to moisturize and heal skin.

The result is skin that has an appearance that is younger looking, smoother and firmer.
