Vitamin C Serum: Why it’s all the rage

Vitamin C is a powerhouse ingredient, known for its antioxidant properties and its ability to brighten and even out skin tone and texture.

Incorporating a Vitamin C serum into your skin care routine and understanding when and how to use it can transform the way your skin looks and feels. 

The benefits:

• Antioxidant protection: Vitamin C neutralises free radicals caused by UV exposure and pollution, helping to protect your skin from oxidative stress. 
• Brightening: Regular use of Vitamin C can help reduce the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation, leading to a more even skin tone. 
• Improved skin texture: With consistent use, Vitamin C can help improve the overall texture and appearance of your skin.

When to apply a Vitamin C Serum: 

Using a Vitamin C serum both in the morning and at night allows you to maximise its benefits. In the morning, it provides protection against environmental aggressors, while at night, it supports the skin’s natural repair process. 

Incorporating a Vitamin C Serum into your skin care routine:

• Cleanse: Start with a gentle cleanser to remove any impurities and prepare your skin for the serum.
• Apply Toner: Use a toner to balance your skin’s pH levels. 
• Vitamin C Serum: Apply a few drops to your face and neck. This serum is packed with highly stable Vitamin C and advanced bio-technology, which delivers the serum deeper into the skin for superior results. It brightens and firms the skin, providing all-day antioxidant protection.
• Moisturise: Follow up with a moisturiser to help lock in hydration. 
• Sunscreen: Always apply a Broad Spectrum sunscreen (with at least SPF 15) to protect your skin from UV damage.
