Vitamin C serum: the magic wand for healthy and glowing skin
Share
In the world of cosmetics, serums have become a real phenomenon. Despite their relatively high cost compared to conventional moisturizing products, they have won the hearts of millions of women (and men). What is the reason for their incredible popularity? Firstly, they usually contain a much higher concentration of active substances compared to the same creams. This makes them powerful agents in the fight against various problems such as wrinkles, pigmentation and loss of elasticity. Secondly, due to their light texture, they do not leave a feeling of stickiness or heaviness on the skin and absolutely do not conflict with makeup (the exception is oily textures). And most importantly - thanks to the high concentration of active ingredients, they bring visible results after a few weeks of use. Today we will consider such a popular tool as serum with vitamin C: what it is for, how to use it and when to apply it - about it in the material below.
Serum with vitamin C - what is it for?
Vitamin C is a reliable ally in the fight against sun damage. It helps reduce the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays on the skin, preventing premature aging and the appearance of age spots. It is also an integral part of the production of collagen - a protein that provides elasticity to the skin and helps in the fight against damage from free radicals. This antioxidant helps to smooth wrinkles, making the skin smooth and youthful, and improves the texture of the dermis, giving it a healthy glow and making the tone more even. It also helps lighten pigment spots.Serum with vitamin C - how to use?
One of the most frequent questions is when to apply serum with vitamin C ? In fact, it is absolutely reasonable, because using serum with vitamin C in the morning or in the evening are slightly different procedures. Morning use involves the mandatory use of sunscreen immediately after application. Even if you don't plan to leave the house. If you skip this step, instead of getting rid of pigment spots, you can, on the contrary, acquire new ones. Do not forget that the sun's rays also enter the windows of our houses. But in the evening, you can simply cover the product with a suitable face cream and go to bed. In the morning, it is still recommended to use sunscreen. To get the best effect from the serum, follow this sequence:- Use your favorite cleanser to remove makeup, impurities and dead skin cells.
- After cleansing, apply a toner to restore the skin's pH balance. Wait a few minutes for it to absorb.
- Apply a few drops of the serum - use your fingers to gently apply it to your face and neck. You can also use a product around the eyes if it is designed for that.
- Try to perform a soft massage, using light movements. This will help ensure even distribution of the product and improve its absorption.
- After application, wait a few minutes for the product to be absorbed. Take your time to apply the next care product.
- Apply a moisturizing cream, and do not forget about sun protection if the time of application is in the morning. Vitamin C can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight, so protection from UV rays is extremely important.
Tips
- Serum with vitamin C in the morning will protect the skin from the harmful effects of the environment.
- If you are new to using the vitamin, start with a lower concentration and increase it gradually to avoid irritation.
- Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
