Sure, we love our highlighters, but for truly vibrant skin, there’s nothing like good old vitamin C for a permanent healthy glow. On top of its cold-fighting power, vitamin C is also known for its amazing brightening benefits, and using products that contain it can keep your skin looking fresh and well rested.
“Taking vitamin C supplements and even doing a vitamin C mask can definitely boost the glow in your skin,” celebrity facialist Ildi Pekar tells HelloGiggles. “Vitamin C also prevents skin damage, and food, nutrients, and even skin care products with vitamin C boost your skin antioxidants, protecting against UV rays and radiation.”
