Vitamin C is legendary when it comes to skincare. It is magical on uneven skin tone, acne scars, fine lines and general dullness. Not only is vitamin C used in addressing skin concerns but also on common hair issues. Vitamin C is an excellent ingredient rich in antioxidants that helps to build healthy skin and hair. Given the rich properties of Vitamin C, it is great for black skin and hair and there are many benefits that you can reap from this skincare ingredient that is highly recommended by dermatologists.

As an antioxidant, Vitamin C helps to fight free radicals, that damage and tends to age black skin prematurely. This is why it is recommended that you eat plenty of fruits such as oranges, strawberries, citrus and kiwi. Similarly, include plenty of vegetables in your diet such as Brussel sprouts, kales, parsley leaves and use vitamin C skin products including serums. They help to protect and repair your damaged skin bearing in mind that free radicals damage collagen.

Vitamin C also works effectively on fibres. It promotes a healthy, supple, younger and smooth looking black skin.

For black hair, vitamin C promotes the growth of healthy hair. Remember, the ingredient is essential in the creation of collagen protein that helps in hair growth. Furthermore, it helps your body to efficiently absorb non-heme iron, a mineral that is needed for healthy hair growth.

Similarly, vitamin C is great for black skin and hair because it is ultra-hydrating. Therefore, it restores and helps to retain skin moisture, preserves skin and hair colour and prevents premature ageing.
