If you want to improve blemishes and freckles from the inside out, vitamin C is your best ally!
Vitamin C has the effect of suppressing melanin, which causes blemishes, making your skin more vibrant and less prone to developing blemishes.
The minimum amount of vitamin C you should consume per day is 500mg, which is roughly equivalent to about 5 kiwis or 4 persimmons.
Unfortunately, vitamin C cannot be stored in the body. Therefore, it is important to consume it in a balanced way throughout the day—morning, noon, and night—rather than in large quantities all at once.
Furthermore, one of the characteristics of vitamin C is that it is unstable and easily broken down.
Rather than cooking it and applying heat, it's best to eat it raw in vegetable or fruit salads whenever possible.
Smoking also destroys vitamin C, so it's not recommended for treating blemishes.
