Vitamin C is undoubtedly essential to life, and good health, as it’s needed for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body. Among its many jobs are wound healing, repairing and maintaining cartilage, bones, and teeth, and being a powerful antioxidant it helps to block some of the damage caused by free radicals, which over time are largely responsible for the ageing process. The body isn’t able to make vitamin C on its own, so health experts recommend that you include plenty of vitamin C-containing foods in your daily diet. But can you also treat your with vitamin C skin from the outside? The answer is “yes” with many skincare brands over the decades recognising the importance of vitamin C as an ingredient in skin creams and serums. It’s been an essential part of my skin care regime for over a decade, and now the certified organic skincare brand, Bör Organics, has come up with a new way to treat your skin with C.
Its new Make Me Clean Citrus Cleanser is designed to soothe, brighten and invigorate the skin, thanks to a formula packed full of collagen-building vitamin C in the form of grapefruit, combined with green tea extract for hydration, aloe vera to wake up tired, dull skin cells, and zesty ginger. Suitable for all skin types, it's a rich, gel based cleanser which lightly foams but doesn’t dry. All you need to do is mix a tiny amount - the size of a pea is sufficient - with a little warm water, while enjoying the lovely zingy citrus scent, and then apply to your skin and massage gently to remove any makeup or impurities. Besides the aroma, another thing you’ll notice is the pleasant, cooling sensation of the gel which can be most enjoyable after a day in the sun. Your skin is left feeling squeaky clean and refreshed, and this cleanser is great for travellers on many levels including that it can shift stubborn makeup or heavy sunscreen. You’ll also have a healthy complexion keeping you looking your best while on the road.
Bör Organics Make Me Clean Citrus Cleanser costs $29.95 for 250mls, and is available from www.bororganics.com.
