We all know how important it is to consume vitamin C. Ever since we were kids, we’ve been told to eat oranges to avoid catching a cold in the winter.
You probably know that this vitamin boosts your immune system, but what you may not know is that it is also very beneficial for your skin. In order to reap the benefits, you don’t have to consume foods rich in vitamin C, you can apply it directly to your skin.
Vitamin C does wonders, it is "your best ally" in fighting wrinkles. Its antioxidant properties help your skin fight free radicals, which damage collagen and elastin your body produces.

As the years go by, the first signs of premature aging appear on our skin: the famous wrinkles! Our skin naturally has a good reserve of ascorbic acid, which is derived from vitamin C.
When our skin is exposed to ultraviolet rays, this reserve decreases, in turn producing less collagen. For this reason it is so important to use cosmetics containing vitamin C, which is also extremely powerful in treating sun spots.

10 Functions of vitamin C in the body:
1- It facilitates the absorption of other vitamins and minerals;
2- It is an antioxidant and reduces inflammation caused by external agents like the sun;
3- It prevents degenerative diseases like arteriosclerosis.
4- It reduces the risk of heart disease.
5- It strengthens the immune system.
6- It supports the development of teeth and gums, bones, cartilage and iron absorption.
7- It helps repair and create cognitive tissue.
8- It is extremely important in producing collagen for scarring, hence its importance for the skin.
9- It fights against free radicals.
10- It treats sun spots.
When and how do I apply vitamin C?
Ideally, use a vitamin C serum before moisturizer and sunscreen every day in the morning. There are several brands on the market for different skin types and different prices. If you are a DIY person, we have a recipe for you to make your own serum.
Ingredients: Vitamin C powder and distilled water
Recipe: use a container, preferably glass. Dissolve 10 g of vitamin C in 100 ml of distilled water.
Store your miracle mixture in the refrigerator. Use daily for best results.

Some people amuse themselves with a cup of tea, others sing their favorite song. Both are pleasures that last a few minutes, in the blink of an eye.
Here at Per Purr we believe in the magic of these fleeting moments, which is why we would like to introduce our “5 minute reset shower” manifesto.
Everyone knows that a bath can be refreshing, but we have somehow convinced ourselves that this can only be achieved with a the typical bath with bath salts, candles, ambient music and bubbles – which we love – but realistically, who has time to take a bath like that every day?
Well, here we are, ready to redefine the concept of a refreshing bath, to convince you that 5 minutes is enough to disconnect and recharge your batteries, so you can tackle your day with renewed energy, and the desire for more!
While you’re alone in the shower, here’s our challenge to you: resist the urge to constantly stare at your iPhone screen and shift your gaze inward.

Surrender yourself to the feeling of water gliding over your body. Take the soap and observe how it feels in your hands, caressing your skin, reaching every corner of your body, leaving a scent that takes you to your happy place.
Relax, disconnect, enjoy. Listen carefully to the sound the water makes when it falls, taking the weight and stress of your day away with it.
Trust us! Just 300 seconds under the shower stream and you’ll leave stress, tension and nagging worries behind.
They say that traveling transforms you, and we completely agree. But what we discovered is that you don’t need to wait for vacation for transformation – any journey has this renewing power if we want it to. And guess what? You can take a journey every day if you want!
Ok, it may seem exaggerated, but yes, for us, the shower is a journey. Albeit fast and within the confines of your shower. They also say that life is made up of a series of choices, we see it that way and we challenge you: why not take a vacation for even a short while, every day?
No, we won’t take any excuses! You can give yourself five minutes a day and you know, you just have to stop and try to enjoy your daily “five minute reset shower“.
Think of it as that cup of tea, like humming that song that you like so much, just under the water and with a bar of soap in hand.
Per Purr has a line of 11 soaps for just this purpose, divided into three olfactory families: floral, herbal and spice. Choose one according to your mood, let yourself be enveloped by the scent and see that five minutes a day is more than enough to leave aside all the toxins that contaminate you and clean yourself from the inside out.
