Today I Learned: Vitamin C and the sun

 It is officially summer!

You might already know that Vitamin C skincare products cause your skin to be sensitive to the sun ☀️ 

But Today I Learned that even intaking Vitamin C (in tablet form or juices such as Orange juice, lemon juice, apple juices, etc) can also cause your skin to be sensitive to the sun!

So having that glass of OJ for breakfast isn't as good for you as we thought.

The reason your skin becomes sensitive to the sun is that Vitamin C contains Psoralen.

Psoralen causes your body/skin to take in more UV light making your skin vulnerable to the UV rays and making it "sensitive" to the sun.
