Vitamin C & Hyaluronic Acid: A Skin Therapist and Naturopath’s Perspective
Two ingredients consistently stand out when it comes to summer skin health: Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid.
When used correctly and professionally, these ingredients support the skin both topically and from within — making them ideal for warmer months.
Vitamin C: Brightening and protective
From a skin therapist’s perspective, Vitamin C is one of the most valuable ingredients for summer skin.
Topical benefits include:
• Brightening dull, tired skin
• Supporting collagen production
• Helping reduce the appearance of pigmentation
• Protecting against environmental stress
Vitamin C also acts as an antioxidant, helping to neutralise free radicals created by UV exposure and pollution.
From a naturopathic viewpoint, Vitamin C plays a role in:
• Collagen synthesis
• Immune support
• Tissue repair
This makes it a powerful ingredient for both skin resilience and overall skin health.
Hyaluronic Acid: Hydration at every level
Hyaluronic Acid is naturally found in the skin, where it helps retain moisture and maintain plumpness.
During summer, natural hyaluronic acid levels can decrease due to sun exposure and dehydration.
Topical benefits include:
• Deep hydration without heaviness
• Improved skin smoothness and elasticity
• Enhanced glow and comfort
From a holistic perspective, hydration is foundational for healthy skin. Supporting internal hydration alongside topical application enhances results and longevity.
Why professional delivery matters
Not all Vitamin C or Hyaluronic Acid products are created equal. Professional formulations are:
• More stable
• More bioavailable
• Better suited to targeted skin needs
This is why we incorporate these hero ingredients into our Summer Radiance Facial, ensuring optimal absorption while supporting the skin barrier.
When skin is hydrated, protected and supported internally and externally, it functions better — and it shows.
