Vitamin C Serum plays an integral role in your body. It helps your body maintain healthy, beautiful and resilient skin. When you are young, your skin is full of Vitamin C but as you age, your skin will naturally lose this nutrient. Other factors such as pollution, smoke, and the sun can reduce the amount of Vitamin C in your skin. The great news is that you can replenish this Vitamin C easily. NuNutrients Vitamin C serum is specially formulated to use directly on your face, specifically in your problem areas. The Vitamin C Serum will absorb directly into your skin, and treat age spots, wrinkles and fine lines. Vitamin C aids in the production of Collagen, which as we all know that when you age your collagen production declines, and you get wrinkles. Apply Vitamin C once a day after you have used an exfoliant on your skin. Vitamin C can cause some mild dryness or flaking, so if you have this issue, be sure to use a moisturizer after using the Vitamin C serum. Results can be seen as early as 2-4 weeks of use, but in some people results are more noticeable after 6-8 weeks.
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is an antioxidant that is naturally found in citrus fruits and certain vegetables. According to Valerie Monroe, beauty editor of "O, the Oprah magazine," antioxidant serums can brighten your complexion and help moisturizers absorb better. Because skin care companies found that topical vitamin C may have anti-aging effects, they created anti-aging skin serums for application to the face and neck. You can also make your own vitamin C serum, which is easy to apply.
Step 1
Select and purchase a vitamin C serum. According to Christine Dreher, a nutritionist, herbalist and author of "The Cleanse Cookbook," you should choose a serum with at least 10 percent concentration of L-ascorbic acid, also known as vitamin C.
Step 2
Wash your face with a clean wash cloth, a mild cleanser and warm water. Leave skin damp.
Step 3
Apply the vitamin C serum to your face and neck with your fingertips. Gently massage the serum into the skin. Wait three to five minutes for it to dry.
Step 4
Apply your normal moisturizer, preferably one that contains sunscreen. According to a study led by D. Darr at the North Carolina Biotechnology Center, antioxidant serums applied prior to sunscreen can improve the effectiveness of sunscreen against skin damage
