Vitamin C Serum

Our outgoing lifestyle involves a lot of exposure to the sun, dust and pollution that damages the skin and results in premature ageing. Skin-soothing and rejuvenating agents like Vitamin C can help protect the skin against many harmful factors. These include photodamage, wrinkles, dryness, sunburn, hyperpigmentation, sagging and skin discolouration. You can't directly apply Vitamin C to your skin so it is always used in the form of a topical serum.

Vitamin C Serums by The Body Shop, Boots, The Ordinary, Dr. Rashel are considered the best in the market. You can also make your own serum at home by mixing ascorbic acid powder with olive oil or rosehip seed oil. 

How to Apply Vitamin C Serum

The best way is to first wash your face and neck with a mild face wash, cleanse, tone and then apply the serum and then top it with a good moisturizer. It is best to apply this at night before going to bed.

Vitamin C Serum Benefits

Loaded with antioxidants, the serum is known to boost the production of collagen, the protein responsible for the elasticity and youthfulness of the skin. Consistent use will hydrate and tighten your skin, lighten skin tone, remove acne scars and discolourations, enhance and brighten the complexion, remove wrinkles, reduce the overproduction of melanin and free radicals. The serum also rejuvenates the skin by increasing dead skin cell turnover and combating dryness. It reduces redness and inflammation on the skin by soothing it down and also help you reduce the appearance of under-eye dark circles by hydrating and plumping the eye area.

Tips & Warnings

Always test the product on the back of your hand or the inside of your wrist to check if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. Wait for 24 hours and if no allergic reaction or redness occurs, you can safely use the product. Never wear Vitamin C Serum when going out in the sun as it will harm your skin more than doing any good to it.
