We all know Vitamin C is good for us, but why? Let’s cover the basics you need to know when adding this enriching ingredient to your skincare ritual There’s no doubt most of you have heard of Vitamin C, but… What are the benefits? While boosting the immune system is one of the main reasons people seek to include it in their diet and supplements, there are a host of other uses and applications. One of them being skincare! Healthy skin contains a lot of Vitamin C, especially in the outer layer. When you use a nutrient-dense product that includes Vitamin C it can benefit your skin in so many ways. Let’s explore how you can use Vitamin C to improve your beauty - inside and out. External benefits of Vitamin C Your skin is your most exposed organ and, as you go about your day, it comes in contact with multiple sources of external stressors. Environmental toxins, pollution, UV radiation, and internal stress all have effects on our skin. So what can we do to help protect our body from all the chaos? The human body has a natural defense system, an essential part of which is Vitamin C. Vitamin C is a powerhouse of multi-tasking. As an antioxidant it helps neutralize unstable molecules that build up and harm your cells, but that’s not all it does. It promotes the production of cells, protects them, and helps them function more effectively. It also fights inflammation and boosts the production of collagen. For your skin that means, when used consistently, Vitamin C can add protection against sun damage, reduce signs of aging, promote healing, minimize redness and dark spots, and reduce scarring. Who doesn’t love bright, healthy skin? Internal Benefits of Vitamin C Vitamin C is certainly an essential part of our immune system, but our body does not produce it. That means we need to make intentional health choices to include it in our regimen. Vitamin C needs to be consumed regularly to avoid deficiency. Adding it to our skincare routine is important to avoid dry, wrinkled, and inflamed skin but we can’t neglect adding it to our diet as well. A few of the most common reasons behind not getting enough Vitamin C are: Poor diet Alcohol Smoking Healing and health begin on the inside and thus, you have to be mindful of your choices! Having a varied diet with Vitamin C rich food can help lower blood pressure, improve the absorption of iron, reduce the risk of gout, and protect your central nervous system from oxidative stress and inflammation. When you feel good, you look good! Application and Safety When using a Vitamin C serum it’s important to know how as well as why. It should be applied after cleansing and before makeup or sunscreen. Other products, including benzoyl peroxide and retinol, can counteract with your Vitamin C serum and make it less effective, so use them at different times of day (if at all) - Vitamin C in the morning and Retinol in the evening, for example. While Vitamin C can help protect against sun damage, it’s best used hand in hand with a good, clean/green SPF in order to boost UV ray blocking power. Be sure to follow all instructions and safety precautions provided. Light and oxygen speeds up oxidation of Vitamin C so any product that includes it needs to be stored in an airtight container and a dry, dark place.

New Audio Version: LISTEN 🎧 to an audio Self-Abhyanga Guide (on Insight Timer) Express self-love and self-respect by lovingly anointing yourself from head to toe with warm oil. This practice is called Abhyanga. A daily Abhyanga practice restores the balance of all biological agents in and enhances well-being and longevity. Abhyanga especially enhances lymphatic drainage, blood circulation, feeds the microbiome living on your skin and most notably, pacifies the nervous system. Your skin is your largest organ plus it has more nerve endings than any other part of your body. So when you anoint oil on those nerve endings and massage them, it helps ground and strengthen the nervous system. A daily Abhyanga practice restores the balance of the doshas and enhances well-being and longevity. Regular Abhyanga is especially grounding and relaxing for the Vata dosha, but everyone substantially benefits from this practice. “The body of one who uses oil massage regularly does not become affected much even if subjected to accidental injuries, or strenuous work. By using oil massage daily, a person is endowed with pleasant touch, trimmed body parts and becomes strong, charming and least affected by old age.” Charaka Samhita Vol. 1, V: 88-89 (One of the Great ancient texts of Ayurveda) Full article on the many benefits of an Ayurvedic massage. Oils Used Sesame oil in winter/cold climate Coconut oil in summer or for those with sensitive skin. You can also use other oils like almond and macadamia, or whatever is locally grown to you, but the former two are primarily recommended by Ayurveda. If you can get your hands on an Ayurvedic medicated massage oil that is suitable for you, that will be beneficial. Warm up your massage oil. This will increase the effect and nourishing quality as the oil can penetrate deeper into the skin and tissues. The Power of Medicated / Herbalised Oil Medicated or herbalised oils are created when herbs are cooked into certain oils. This is different to just adding essentials oils to a base oil, which is not really an Ayurvedic medicated oil. When the oil becomes medicated, it becomes a “nano-medicine” which has the ability to enter the body on a deep level (suksma karma). Initially, it enters through the skin, then all the 13 Agnis (metabolic fires in the body) digest their particles from the herbalised oil and become stronger. As the skin metabolises the oil, every element, dosha, and tissue in our body is fortified through Abhyanga because it feeds, nourishes and strengthens the skin. How to Perform Self-Abhyanga Download The Printable Self-Abhyanga Poster Listen To A Self-Abhyanga Guide (Insight Timer) Notes on Performing Self-Abhyanga The main purpose of the strokes is to soothe and stimulate the tissues gently and pacify the nervous system. This also has an affect via the connections the skin has to all the inner organs and systems. Be gentle, not to deep or strong. Studies show light touch is more effective than deep pressure massage for the nervous system.(1) How Long to Leave the Oil On For Aim to leave to oil on for at least 10-20 mins, and up to 45 mins (this time is ideal) at the most. Minimum time to leave the oil on for is 8 minutes for the abhyanga to have its true effect. While you wait in between your abhyanga and washing it, you can do activities like meditate, yoga, exercise, read, prepare breakfast, clean the house, any activity that won’t get anything too oily. Washing oil off or bathing – It is important to wash or wipe off the oil afterwards so that the toxins that have been pulled out by the massage(2) are not reabsorbed. For this reason, leave the oil on for no longer than 1 hour.
