This powerhouse antioxidant
is not produced naturally
in the body, but, applied
topically, vitamin C has a
formidable
effect onlacklustre complexions and
uneven skin tone, and helps

its effectiveness when exposed
to light and air, so always
look for products in opaque
packaging, preferably with
a pump applicator to keep
things fresh.WW loves

An easy way to remember this one is to think
‘F for fat’. Doesn’t sound too good, but fats are
essential to healthy, glowing, plump skin. Used in
skincare, they help to strengthen your skin barrier to
prevent water loss. As we age, this barrier becomes
porous, with tiny holes and cracks. This means that
anyone with tight, dry, scaly skin is going to benefit
from a little topical vitamin F.WW loves
