From Aloe Vera to Vitamin E and Hyaluronic Acid, there are many skincare ingredients that can improve the look and feel of your skin for a more radiant-looking tan. One of our favorites? Vitamin C! Rich in antioxidants and skin-brightening properties, it can do wonders for your skin and bronzed glow. Read on to discover the skin benefits of Vitamin C and find the best tanning Vitamin C skincare for you.
What is Vitamin C?
Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that has powerful antioxidant properties. Known as an essential vitamin, it isn’t naturally produced or stored in the body. Instead, it has to be ingested or applied topically as skincare.

Wondering why Vitamin C is good for skin? This powerful ingredient has 4 key benefits:
- It can even out skin tone: Vitamin C helps to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, dark spots and sun spots, lending skin a more even-looking tone (and your tan a flawless finish!).
- It can have a brightening effect: Best known for its brightening properties, Vitamin C helps to boost skin’s radiance, creating a natural-looking, healthy glow.
- It’s rich in antioxidants: Vitamin C is rich in antioxidants that help to protect the skin from free radical damage, keeping skin healthy.
- It can smooth the skin: By stimulating the production of collagen (the protein responsible for skin’s elasticity and plumpness), Vitamin C lends skin a smoother appearance – and as you no doubt know, the smoother the skin, the better the tan!
Why should I use Vitamin C skincare and self tanners?
Think of tanning as part of your skincare routine: to maintain healthy skin, your fake tan should be deeply hydrating and reviving. That’s why Vitamin C self tanners can make all the difference! They not only create a beautiful bronze, but they keep skin looking healthy and radiant – and, by extension, your tan looking even and flawless too.
