A Complete Guide to Vitamin C Skincare

There are many different types of Vitamin C that can be found in skincare products. The best one to have is L-ascorbic acid. This is most pure form and is most stable in a water-based serum. It’s the type of Vitamin C that is found in plants. Sodium ascorbyl phosphate is more gentle on the skin and is stable. It’s just not as effective as L-ascorbic acid. Ascorbyl glucoside is a water-based Vitamin C and is found in many brands of skincare.

Vitamin C can be found in many forms to use on your skin. Serums, creams, sunscreen, and cleansers are produced to help you add Vitamin C to your skincare routine. It’s best to use Vitamin C products twice a day for the best results. You might use a Vitamin C infused cleanser and then use a serum or cream afterwards. This helps your sunscreen to be more effective. If using eye cream, apply lightly with your smallest finger. Vitamin C eye creams can lighten dark circles and decrease wrinkles.

Step by step guide to using Vitamin C products: Always do a test spot to make sure you won’t have a bad reaction to the product. You can chose a place that won’t show, such as on the arm where you’ll be wearing sleeves or underneath where your hair falls. Cleanse your face. Apply toner (if you use one). Apply the Vitamin C Serum. Allow it to dry for a couple of minutes before you put on your moisturizer. Now, you’re ready to use your makeup that contains sunscreen protection.

Benefits Of Vitamin C For Your Face

Vitamin C Skincare for your face will lighten and brighten your skin. It’s an antioxidant which can lesson redness and inflammation. It also helps to prevent dark spots and can help them to fade. Hyperpigmentation is when those sun spots appear on your face. These unsightly dark spots can be lessoned by Vitamin C, which decreases melanin.

Vitamin C can prevent sun damage. Molecules called free radicals cause sun damage. Free radicals can be stopped when Vitamin C provides the antioxidants. Using Vitamin C in combination with sunscreen will protect the skin more than sunscreen alone.

Since Vitamin C is essential in the production of Collagen, we know using a skincare product with Vitamin C can improve skin’s texture. Collagen decreases as we age, causing the skin to sag. Using a skincare product on your face with Collagen can help your skin to be more firm.

Frequently Asked Questions About Vitamin C in Skincare

It’s perfectly safe to use during pregnancy.

You can use it in both day and night. You might choose to use a serum during the day and a moisturizing cream at night.
