Dr. Christine Hall grew up in the UK but spent most of her summers in South Korea, which gave her an appreciation of both Western and Korean skincare cultures. The qualified physician and pharmacist-turned "glass skin" specialist told Business Insider that she combines West and Korean skincare products and techniques to keep her skin looking radiant and aging healthily. "Ideally, I would want that kind of flawless, dewy, glowy skin," she said, but is also realistic, adding: "If you had poreless skin, your skin wouldn't be healthy. Your pores are normal anatomy, they're there for a reason."

How vitamin C and oranges became synonymous is part biology, part history, and part marketing. Sailors in the age of exploration carried citrus to ward off scurvy, vitamin C deficiency often decimated crews on board. Centuries later, American orange growers in the early 20th century faced mountains of surplus fruit and turned to advertising, positioning orange juice as the modern breakfast drink. That campaign, paired with the discovery of vitamins, cemented oranges as the cultural symbol for staying well.

This stuff is amazing!!!!! The compliments I have received about my skin since I've started using this are wild. I have been told my skin tone looks even and that it has a glow.

"... about 60 million to 70 million years back in our family tree, we lost the ability to produce vitamin C ourselves, whereas most other mammals can do this ... a lot of sour foods happen to have vitamin C. And that's one idea. Maybe we love sour food to keep ourselves flush with vitamin C."
