Vitamins you should take every morning to help keep your skin young, smooth and prevent aging effectively.

Establishing a habit of increasing vitamin C through diet and cosmetics helps strengthen skin immunity, inhibiting aging agents caused by free radicals and UV rays.

Jordan Dorn, certified nutritionist and co-founder of the Zuma Nutrition brand, suggests adding vitamin C to your morning routine for brighter, more youthful skin as well as preventing the appearance of brown spots on the skin.

"Vitamin C is responsible for many reactions in the body, specifically the production of collagen and protein, which make up 80% of the connective tissue in our body," says Jordan. The expert adds that collagen is an important protein for the health of the skin, nails, hair, bones, and joints. The body requires a large amount of vitamin C to ensure that collagen functions effectively.

Vitamin C is an important component for the body to preserve old collagen structure and increase new collagen.

Dr. Neera Nathan, who teaches dermatology at Harvard Medical School, also said: "Vitamin C can reduce the appearance of dark spots by blocking the production of pigment in the skin. It can make your skin look smoother and brighter."

In an article for Harvard Health, Dr. Neera mentioned that several clinical studies have shown that vitamin C can improve wrinkles. Daily use of a vitamin C preparation for at least 3 months improved the appearance of fine and coarse wrinkles on the face and neck, as well as improved the overall texture and appearance of the skin.

Vitamin C also helps protect the skin from harmful ultraviolet rays when used in combination with a broad-spectrum sunscreen. Clinical studies have shown that combining vitamin C with other topical ingredients, specifically ferulic acid and vitamin E, can reduce redness and help protect the skin from long-term damage caused by harmful sun rays.

In addition to supplementing vitamin C through food, it can be enhanced in the form of tablets.

In addition to consuming foods rich in vitamin C, such as fruits and vegetables, supplementing vitamin C through functional tablets is also encouraged by experts, especially for middle-aged women. For oral vitamin C, the ideal time is on an empty stomach, about 30 minutes before breakfast.

Using vitamin C in cosmetic form before applying sunscreen every morning also helps increase the skin's immunity, reduce the harmful effects of UV rays, thereby preventing dark spots, freckles and preserving the skin's collagen structure.
