Why, When & How To Use Vit C you Must read before buying Vit C for
face
hi everyone welcome back to my blog so in today's a
post I will be talking to you about vitamin c in skincare now vitamin c has
been really really hyped so that's the reason why I'm here to talk to you about
if and how vitamin c is you know beneficial for your skin um and also how to
use it you can't just go ahead and take some orange or lime and put it all over
your face and be like I've got my vitamin c dose no that's not how it works so
there's a proper method and you know also proper time to use it so that is all
the points I'm going to be covering today first off talking about how it
benefits your skin well vitamin c is one of the most potent antioxidants out
there our skin it goes through a lot of harsh environmental factors like the
sun the uv rays also the pollution the dust all of these factors could result
in early aging so you might end up getting lines wrinkles and you know your
skin can start to sag lose its elasticity and also you can end up getting
pigmentation or dark spots and uneven skin tone so what an antioxidant does is
it protects your skin against these environmental factors basically vitamin c
is anti-aging in nature so that means it you know prevents your skin from aging
sooner than it's supposed to that's the reason why vitamin c is great if you
use it in the morning in your morning skincare routine and also use a sunscreen
after your vitamin c because a vitamin c does not replace your sunscreen but it
definitely you know boosts the effectiveness of your sunscreen secondly vitamin
c is also great for you know boosting collagen production and collagen is the
protein in your skin that actually helps to maintain the elasticity of your
skin it really makes your skin uh firm you know tight and healthy so vitamin c
not just boosts the collagen production but at the same time it also prevents
collagen from breaking down so it actually preserves the collagen as well
thirdly vitamin c prevents the production of melanin and melanin is the reason
why we get pigmentation on our skin we get an uneven skin tone and also dark
spots across our skin so that is where vitamin c comes into play and it can
actually help to you know brighten these areas over a period of time so today i
wanted to talk to you guys about this new range of vitamin c products that i've
been using so this is basically by lakme and this is their 95 vitamin c range
so they've come up with a facial serum a day cream and a night cream now the
key ingredient in this serum is i'm not sure if you've heard about it but it is
the fruit with the most amount of vitamin c content in it i mean it has 55 to
100 times more vitamin c than oranges and kiwis this serum also has a vitamin e
in it which is always great especially whenever you're purchasing a vitamin c
product make sure to look out for either ferulic acid or vitamin e as another
ingredient because vitamin c in itself is very very unstable which means like
once it comes in contact with air or light it gets destroyed instantly so
vitamin e basically helps to stabilize the vitamin c in this product and it
also helps the vitamin c to absorb well into your skin and at the same time it
has a very very dark glass packaging which is another thing you want to keep in
mind whenever you're buying a vitamin c product because vitamin c like i said
you know if it stays exposed for too long it loses its potency always try to
store your vitamin c in a cool dark place and you don't try to put on the lid
as soon as you're done using the product so you get 30 ml of product in this
bottle and it comes for rupees 549 which i think is very very affordable and i
just take about three to four pumps all over my face and then i go ahead and
massage it into my skin till the product is absorbed and because it has a very
thin watery consistency it absorbs really quickly as you can see it feels like
i have nothing on my skin but at the same time it feels like i just gave my
skin a drink of water so it feels really hydrated and plump but at the same time
it feels very very light that makes it perfect for using both during the
daytime as well as during the night time also guys if you have sensitive skin
acne prone skin or any sort of troubled skin you want to stay away from vitamin
c serums that claim to have very high percentages of vitamin c in them because
you know high doses of vitamin c can be quite irritating on your skin
especially if you have problem skin um so this vitamin c serum has a two
percent of active vitamin c in there so it's a very very mild form of vitamin c
which means people with every skin type can use this even if you have sensitive
or acne prone skin you can definitely use this it has this most beautiful
citrusy scent to it which is very very mild but at the same time it's so pleasant
like super super refreshing so every time after cleansing my face i go ahead
and use the serum first and after that i follow up with these moisturizers so i
have both the day as well as the night cream the day cream has vitamin c
vitamin e and shea butter as ingredients in it and as you can see the
consistency of this one is again very very lightweight it has sort of a lotiony
sort of texture and yeah it instantly gets absorbed and i think it's also
because it has pink undertones in it it kind of instantly gives a brighter look
to my skin i think it's always a good idea to you know layer up products that
contain similar ingredients because that means you will be getting a higher
dose of vitamin c in this case in the night time after using my serum i like to
follow up with the night cream and light cream has a vitamin c in it and at the
same time it has butter and glycerin in it and i think that's the reason why uh
this has a slightly more thicker consistency and texture as compared to the day
cream for me i personally love using these sort of thicker more richer creams
during the night time because that's when i want my skin to you know regenerate
itself uh to heal itself so you want to add a lot of nourishing products to
your skin um so this cream is just perfect for that i can certainly say that
these products have you know helped in brightening up my skin making my skin
look a lot more even and at the same time it feels very plump very healthy
especially now with the warm weather i've been really enjoying using these .
