DIY Vitamin C Serum


One product i can't live without is Vitamin C serum. It tightens your skin, helps lighten hormonal pigmentation (I was one of those that was cursed with horrible pregnancy melasma) and helps ward off wrinkles. I lather it on every SINGLE night before I go to bed. The only problem with Vitmain C serum is that it's one of the priciest skin care products on the market. So i thought of this DIY
What you will need:
  • A dark colored glass bottle. I used an empty serum bottle.
  • Vitamin C powder (L ascorbic powder). You can also use vitamin C tablets.
  • 100% pure vegetable glycerine, which is a great base for serums and makes your skin extra glowy and soft.
  • 100% pure tea tree oil
Directions: 
  1. In a small bowl mix 1 tsp of Vitamin C powder with 2 tsp of vegetable glycerine.
  2. Crush the crystals up until they are completely dissolved (if you don't you will end up with a grainy serum)
  3. Add 2-3 drops of tea tree oil.
  4. Carefully pour your serum into your glass bottle.
  5. Apply 3-4 drops onto freshly cleansed skin and gently massage in until fully absorbed.
  6. Keep in a cool dry place.

SO easy and you skin will thank you for this I promise.
My recommendation is to use this only at night to start. If you think your skin can handle more go ahead and use twice a day. Since this serum is all natural and does not contain any preservatives, only make enough to last you about two weeks. Vitamin C serum may cause temporary redness and that is normal, but if you have any burning sensation remove with cool water and lower the ratio of Vitamin C powder to vegetable glycerine.
Enjoy and please come back and let me know how you like this if you try it out!
Till then bye and love yourself...😘😘😘
