DIY Anti-Aging & Brighten Vitamin C cream/lotion/serum (Updated Recipes)
Hey beauties! Shine bright like a diamond.
I wish I could sing. Welcome back and I have some orange blossom water.
If you do not know what this is, make sure to visit this video. It's one of my
beauty secrets
for happy hydrated skin.
Do not panic if this isn't in yourkitchen. You can use other hydrosols
AKA
floral water or just plain water intothese recipes.
distilled are purified water will helpif you plan to make these every two to
three weeks. Guys and girls, before you start your skincare routine
try Vitamin c. It's one of the bestcare products
on the market. Vitamin C comes in many forms. Make sure you get the L-ascorbic
acid form. It's highly affectedon the skin
and all the information is in the info boxon where to get. You can get yours
at wholefoods locally. Time ittakes to notes! So our body is made up
of thirty five percent of proteinscalled collagen.
It's the glue that holds our skin,bones and ligaments together. This is when
Vitamin C actually benefits us
with its anti-aging properties by boostingcollagen protection
and production.
By saying that, it actually firmsour skin
and minimize sagging and wrinkles for ayouthful look
so our skin feels soft and supple. It protectsour skin from UV sunlight because
it's a powerful antioxidant.
Vitamin C are acidic so bacteriacannot live on our skin. Not a happy
camper for home but grat for ourskin types especially my acne prone
skin.
Personally I have been using this for allover a year, and it does lighten and
brightens my complexion.
The exfoliating factor faces acne marksand hyper pigmentation. It's cheap and more
effective.
then high-end brands for example, this bottleis not in the right packaging because
L-ascorbic acid is an antioxidant that deteriorates from light exposure
and the air at that turns it orange andbrown.
So if you're planning to splurge on Vitamin Cproducts, don't buy if it's
not airtight seal or an opaque packaging
or and it's already tinted because youcan't even tell it's already been
oxidized. Random fact. I attended pharmacy school back in the days so I
calculated my updated serum using someingredients
similar to
Ole Henriksen truth serum.
I will be showing you guyshow to make this in serum, lotion or
cream form.
So
What's the difference?
Serum is an added moisture that goes into deep layers of the skin.
While moisturizer focus on the top layer and protects the skin.
Twenty percent is the strongesteffected strength and don't get
overwhelmed by this.
Either follow by teaspoons or by ratio. The base will be water, glycerin,
lotion or creams. It's really easy
Before applying this on your face,conduct a patch test to see if you can't
tolerate
the strength of the or you are allergiccause and I don't want you to flare up with
rashes all be face.
That would be scary.
The first recipe is the simplest becauseit's only three ingredients to make five
percent for everyday use. You may needan measuring tools like a tiny
scoop or a pinch your fingers. And you canuse tap water for this one because
you're making this fresh.
I'm using up pipette which is like adropper but you can use a teaspoon.
Scoop 1/8 of a teaspoon of vitamin cinto your palm
and teaspoon of water.
mix it until the powder dissolves.
Now add a half of a teaspoon of glycerin.It's usually an equal amounts of water
to glycerin but
i say adjust it to your liking. It'spretty sticky.
I make sure to mix it well and pat it on to myclean skin.
Increase gradually for your skin to get usedto each strength every two to three
weeks.
You can also add Vitamin C into your lotion and cream. I'm using my night moisturizer
as my base.
Ten percent so adding two and a quarter teaspoonof my moisturizer
into a clean jar.
Like recycle a lip balm jar.
And I make these in small batchessince it can oxidize in two to three
weeks.
It turns orange to brown when it goesbad. That's on you know you should toss
it away. Cheers!
My updated serum recipe by adding a3/8 of a teaspoon of Vitamin C
Add either water or a hydrosol
and you glycerin base. I went with my orange blossom water instead of water.
To make this serum less watery, use aloe vera gel. I added 1/8 of this.
This will hydrate and soothes any irritation on our skin.
Yum, yum, yum. Don't drink this. So now you are going to add 3 drops of vitamin e oil
to naturally preserve
and gives a boost into a sunscreenprotection.
I have hyper pigmentation issues soadding licorice extract
actually even out my skin complexion. It's one of the safe skin lighteners
on the market.
For additional anti-agingimprovements.
I'm using green tea extract
This is the optional category. You canplay around with you are serum. I'm using
this tangerine essential oil for energetic scent and antiseptic
properties.
You can refrigerate it to extend the shelflife. Now clean first. I use a toner
too.
Shake my serum before each use. You can start with every other day to
daily. I use my serum twice a day. When I was a teen, I did a lot of sunbathing.
So when you apply your serum, roll it and pat it in.
It soaks in better that way and the last step is moisturizing. We all
do it.
So to start, you going to apply yourvitamin c cream if you decide to make
this. I apply it on my neck and my chest because
we do wrinkles down there, and apply allover the face.
Your skin will feel smooth and radiant instantly. It may tingle. Give your skin two to
three months
for a full results. I have another DIYcoming soon so don't missed out.

This is my updated Vitamin C serum by using ingredients from Ole Henriksen Truth Serum to save on cost and get the most potency out of our serum, lotion, and creams because L-ascorbic acid oxidize quickly. I do not trust majority of Vitamin C products on the market because of the awful packaging that degrades the benefits of Vitamin C and added chemicals. Instead of spending $50-100 for an ounce every 2 to 3 months of high-end vitamin c, try spending $10-50 using one or all three of mt recipes to last you for years.
