Why You Should Take Vitamin C During Summer

Dry season and summer meant longer days and the sun brighter. Enduring sunny outdoors can be harmful to our skin. The UV radiation from sunlight can cause damage to our skin's DNA. Some of us might be enjoying the sea, sun and sand during this season and this can cause dry and 'weathered' skin.

Summertime is usually a fun time and here are some tips to care for your skin during long exposure under the sun.

• Always wear sunscreen. Apply it before exposing yourself under the sun. Per experts, you should be using at least one with SPF 30. Make sure you reapply for better protection.
• Avoid sun when it's at its brightest-like 10AM-2PM. Wear protective clothing and keep those umbrellas open if you have to walk under the sun. Wear sunglasses with UVA protection.
• Hydrate.
• Eat more fruits and greens. Get regular sleep.
• Drink Vitamin C.

How does Vitamin C helps in Skin Care?

Most of us are familiar that Vitamin C aids the growth, development and repair of our body tissues. It helps in the formation of collagen and proper functioning of our immune system. 

Vitamin C also is a potent antioxidant that can protect against damage caused by free radicals. This is why it is best to include this especially during summer. It helps to control the formation of pigmentation and it provides natural sun protection. It helps to brighten the complexion and brings the radiance in our skin. 

Our body does not make Vitamin C naturally so it's important to get it whenever we can. Foods and veggies are the best sources of Vitamin C. You can get it from Citrus fruits, strawberries, tomatoes and cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower. You can also drink Vitamin C supplement.
