Vitamin C Serum: A Beauty Routine Essential?
Vitamin C has more than one asset to pamper your skin. So why not add it to your routine, especially with serums?
Vitamin C benefits on the skin
Recommended by dermatologists, vitamin C becomes essential for your skin care routine. Its regenerating and toning virtues restore radiance to your skin by stimulating the production of collagen. Although it is found in many foods (orange, blackcurrant, kiwi, etc.), a very small amount of the vitamin ingested acts on the epidermis.
It protects your skin against pollution, the sun, stress and therefore skin aging. It boosts the radiance of your skin by also acting on wrinkles already present. Not bad isn’t it ?
It’s normal to hesitate between creams, oils and serums to add vitamin C to your skin care routine. Serums are recommended because they are specially designed to have a stronger and more active concentration of the vitamin.
Its positive effects relate to all skin types, including sensitive and dry skin. There is something for everyone!
In order to target your needs, you can use the vitamin in different forms:
- Pure vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. It illuminates and improves skin texture.
- Vitamin Cg, also called ascorbyl glucoside, which helps prevent the appearance of signs of aging over the long term.
- Activated vitamin C, to lighten dark spots and combat hyperpigmentation. It is also effective against the reduction of acne scars and age spots.
Several beauty brands offer serums tailored to your skin’s needs.
A few additional tips…
It is always best to apply your vitamin C serum at night to maximize its effects. However, it is possible to apply it in the morning to fight against attacks if you are often exposed to urban pollution. You can also apply it twice a day depending on your skin type.
- Apply your serum to a cleansed face before your moisturizing lotion.
- Avoid staying in the sun right after application because although it protects against the sun’s rays, direct exposure acidifies the epidermis.
- Store your serum away from direct sunlight and humidity to preserve its effectiveness.
- Consult your dermatologist before adding new treatments to your beauty routine.
- After adopting the vitamin C serum to your routine, the complexion is brighter, the skin softer and the morale on top!
