Best Beauty Products Packed with Vitamin C

posted in: Beauty & Wellness

Unless you live in sunny Los Angeles or Miami, you’re probably hibernating in your cozy cave right about now. I pop vitamin C supplements all winter long to bolster my body’s immunity and stave off illness, but it turns out that vitamin C is also beneficial to the skin when used topically, working as an antioxidant to help fend off environmental damage and helping to brighten the skin—especially skin that is looking dull during or after a long hibernation.

Here are some of my favorite vitamin C–packed beauty products that promise to get your sorry skin back into sunny shape. And don’t worry, you won’t smell like a walking orange after using these products. Some smell vaguely fruity when applied, but the scent dissipates quickly. These are my picks for the best beauty products with vitamin C.

Sometimes, there’s nothing more soothing than a face oil! I love this one from Equal by Nature, because while it’s intensely hydrating, it doesn’t feel oily or heavy on my skin. Try applying this directly to the skin or blending it with your face cream to increase hydration and anti-oxidant protection. Get it here for $49.99 (currently $22.99!) on TheLabandCompany.com.

It’s available in five shades that subtly conceal discoloration and work to eradicate the signs of aging and sun damage with regular use. I use the Sun-Kissed Glow shade and just dab it where I need it. It also improves firmness and elasticity while protecting the skin from the sun with SPF 30 and, well, the list goes on! Get it here for $39 on Amazon.
