Friday Favorites - Homemade Vitamin C Serum

Homemade Vitamin C Serum

Author: Jenni from Jenni Rain Cloud

Serves: Makes enough to last 3-5 days

Ingredients

1 teaspoon Vitamin C Powder (Find non GMO, natural Vitamin C HERE)
1 teaspoon distilled water
1 teaspoon glycerin (optional) (Find HERE)
⅛ teaspoon Vitamin E (optional) (Find non GMO, natural Vitamin E capsules HERE)
small amber or dark glass bottle (Find them HERE)

Instructions

Mix ingredients in a small bowl until the granules are dissolved.
If you omit glycerin and vitamin E add an extra teaspoon of water so that your serum isn't too strong.
Transfer to a dark glass bottle.
Apply to the skin at night after cleansing and toning.
Let the serum soak in and then apply your moisturizer as usual.

Notes

An easy way to make sure your Vitamin C is in the perfect form to get the most benefits you can use a pH test strip. Your serum should be right around 3.5.
Secondly, make a small batch and use it only for 3-5 days. It is some extra work, but trust me, the benefits are worth it.

Feel free to use this on the backs of your hands as well. As most of us already know, sun spots show up on the hands first. Vitamin C can cause your skin to be irritated at first. When you apply it, a small amount of tingling is normal. If it is burning, remove it immediately. Don't worry - you can just add more water and/or glycerin to your mixture. This will dilute the Vitamin C so it is more suited for your skin.
