When it comes to skincare, few combinations are as powerful—and protective—as Vitamin C and sunscreen. These two products work hand-in-hand to defend your skin against environmental damage, premature aging, and pigmentation. Here’s why incorporating both into your daily routine is a must.So what exactly is Plexr, and how does it work? Let’s break it down.
What Does Vitamin C Do for Your Skin?
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a potent antioxidant that offers a range of skin benefits:
- Neutralizes free radicals caused by UV exposure and pollution
- Brightens skin tone and reduces hyperpigmentation
- Stimulates collagen production, helping to reduce fine lines
- Boosts skin radiance and overall health
Why Sunscreen Alone Isn’t Enough
Sunscreen is your first line of defense against UV radiation, but no sunscreen is 100% effective. That’s where Vitamin C comes in—it adds a second layer of protection by minimizing the damage that still occurs, even with SPF.
Think of Vitamin C as your shield, and sunscreen as your armor. Together, they’re unbeatable.
How to Use Vitamin C and Sunscreen Together
- Cleanse your skin in the morning.
- Apply a Vitamin C serum (preferably L-ascorbic acid, 10–20% concentration).
- Follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen, SPF 30 or higher.
- Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours if you’re spending time outdoors.
Ideal for All Skin Types
Whether you’re targeting signs of aging, dullness, or dark spots, this duo is safe and effective for most skin types—including sensitive skin when used with the right formulations.
