Vitamin C in Skincare: Do’s and Don’ts for First-Timers

Vitamin C in Skincare: Do’s and Don’ts for First-Timers

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 in Skincare

  • 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 in skincare

  • 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.
