Does vitamin c help in whitening the skin?

When you consider all the vitamins, Vitamin C plays a predominant role not just in lightening the skin but also by curing various health issues from a common cold to serious health problems. Let’s get deep into how? when? and why? Vitamin C can whiten the skin.

Usually darker skin people have a compound called Melanin. This compound is produced by a group of cells “melanocytes” deep within the skin. The higher melanin is produced, the darker the skin gets. Melanin can be of two forms

  • Eumelanin which gives dark brown pigmentation.
  • Pheomelanin which can be lighter than eumelanin.

Melanin is produced for several reasons like Sun exposure, inflammation, and pollution.

  • Vitamin C has many antioxidant and antibacterial properties that can detoxify the skin by removing radicals that cause skin pigmentation.
  • Topical vitamin C can also treat suntan, sunburns.
  • Vitamin C exfoliates the skin by removing dead skin cells and regenerates skin cells. This can repair the skin damage.
  • Apparently, Vitamin C also hinders the production of tyrosinase enzyme which thereby reduces melanin production.

How to use vitamin c for skin whitening?

Vitamin C is not something which is produced in your body itself. So, take fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C. Including vitamin C in your diet has a lot of proven benefits like protection against skin diseases, immune system deficiencies, detoxifying body, premature ageing, skin wrinkling, health problems and also lightens the skin.

However, vitamin C deficiency can lead to a weak immune system, digestive problems, weakens bones & muscles strength, skin dryness, and diarrhoea. So, don’t forget to include vitamin C foods and vegetables in your everyday diet. Such foods and fruits are oranges, lemons, guava, strawberries, broccoli, kale, parsley, pineapple, peas, cauliflower, mangoes, peppers, kiwi.
