Vitamin C Serum
As we get older, our skin changes. This homemade vitamin C serum soothes your skin without any harsh chemicals. I use it every night for glowing skin.
Ingredients
- 4 tsp Distilled Water
- ¼ tsp Vegetable Glycerin
- ¼ tsp Pure Aloe Vera
- ½ tsp L’Ascorbic Acid Powder
Instructions
- Mix water, glycerine, and aloe in a small jar until combined.
- Add in the Vitamin C powder, cover the jar with a plastic lid and shake it until the Vitamin C is dissolved.
- Pour into a colored glass dropper bottle. It is important to use colored glass because Vitamin C oxidizes fast!
- This serum has a shorter shelf life than most cosmetics because the Vitamin C oxidizes in the water over time. So, make it pretty often. I find that I make it about every 1-2 weeks.
Notes
Note: You might find it tingles when applied, this is normal. If it burns, then make a weaker dilution or use it every other day.
I apply Vitamin C Serum to my face every morning when I wake up and every night before bed. It can be applied morning and night!
