Thinking about stepping into the pampering world of Vitamin C skincare? You've landed in the right spot! This potent ingredient is a holy grail for glowing skin, but if you're new to the world of actives, a few things need your attention. Don’t worry! We're here to simplify it all. Let’s get into what you should know before you start using Vitamin C-infused skincare products.
What to Keep in Mind for First-Timers
Vitamin C is a universal ingredient that works for almost everyone. But starting slow is key. Look for beginner-friendly Vitamin C infused skincare products with a concentration of not more than 10%. It’s gentle yet effective, perfect for those dipping their toes into the vitamin-rich ocean of skincare for the first time. Also, patch-test any product before you go full throttle. That’s the rule of thumb! Better safe than sorry, right?
The Do’s of Using Vitamin C
-
Apply on Dry Skin: Always use your Vitamin C serum on clean, dry skin for maximum absorption. Remember, Vitamin C loves a moisture-free environment to work its magic.
-
Pair it With Sunscreen: Vitamin C skincare, especially the serum is the ultimate partner for your sunscreen. Apply your Vitamin C serum in the morning and follow up with a broad-spectrum SPF to shield your skin from sun damage.
-
Use a Gentle Routine: Begin with a basic routine. Ensure you follow the routine twice daily to reap the most benefits. For instance, using a vitamin C serum twice, in the morning and at night before bed, will give you faster results.
-
Store it Right: Keep your Vitamin C skincare products in a cool, dark place to preserve their potency. You don’t want your serum turning brown! Right?
The Don’ts of Using Vitamin C
-
Skip the Sunscreen: Never skip sunscreen when using Vitamin C skin products. This duo is like chai and pakoras, incomplete without each other.
-
Apply on Active Acne: Avoid applying Vitamin C directly on broken or inflamed skin as it may cause irritation. Be gentle with your skin.
-
Overdo It: Start small and don’t layer Vitamin C with other active ingredients like AHAs or retinol until your skin adjusts. Slow and steady wins the skincare race.
-
Forget Moisturiser: Vitamin C can be drying for some, so always follow up with a nourishing moisturiser to keep your skin plump and happy.
