Why Vitamin C?
Vitamin C is touted as an anti-aging and anti-wrinkle cream. Many of these products also cost an arm and a leg. Thankfully, there is a natural, homemade and inexpensive alternative that seems to work just as well. Vitamin C is helpful for brightening and tightening skin (this works if you take it internally too!).
A simple and effective Vitamin C serum that boosts skin health with natural ingredients.
Ingredients
- ½ teaspoon natural real food Vitamin C Powder
- 1 tablespoon distilled water OR 1 teaspoons distilled water to dissolve and 2 Tablespoons vegetable glycerine
- a dark colored container to store (Vitamin C oxidizes easily)
Instructions
- Dissolve the Vitamin C powder in the water.
- If only using water and Vitamin C, you are done. This will store for up to 2 weeks or longer in the fridge.
- If using glycerine, dissolve the Vitamin C in the smaller amount of water, then stir in glycerine and store. This version will last a month or longer.
Notes
Personally,
I like the pure Vitamin C and water recipe as a toner after cleansing,
though glycerine is moisturizing and softening for the skin and will
extend the recipe. DO NOT use glycerine on anything that is used in oral
care or in the mouth as it is bad for teeth.
