How many oranges does it take to remove melasma?
November 10th, 2008
Skin experts agree that one of the best ways to treat melasma and other skin hyperpigmentation is by eating foods rich in vitamin C, taking a vitamin C supplement, and using vitamin C skin care products. Although oranges won’t rid your skin of melasma altogether, it will improve your skin’s fitness.
So why all this vitamin C for your melasma?
Vitamin C is a strong antioxidant, which fights off free radicals in the environment and keeps your skin’s collagen in tact. Healthy collagen prevents wrinkling and discoloration.
It’s not always about prevention, though. Vitamin C also helps fade existing dark spots. This is because vitamin C or L-ascorbic Acid stays in the skin for up to 72 hours and works to boost collagen production.
There are a number of skin care products that include vitamin C, but our favorite is
DDF Retinol Energizing Moisturizer.
