Vitamin C for daily routine
When creating a daily skincare routine, I often prefer to include vitamin C serums. This is because vitamin C serves as a good antioxidant and is important for its role in collagen synthesis. Additionally, it inhibits the activity of an enzyme called tyrosinase, which helps prevent the formation of spots.
Active vitamin C can be found in different forms. Some forms are oil-soluble, while others are water-soluble. If a person's skin type is oily, it is beneficial to choose water-soluble, water-based vitamin C serums.
How should I use vitamin C serums?
Vitamin C can be applied during the day if we are using a nighttime serum like retinoic acid or tranexamic acid in our daily routine. It can be applied under sunscreen. Otherwise, it can also be used at night after cleansing the skin.
In summary, vitamin C serum is an effective enhancer that can be used at any age in a skincare routine. It is certainly beneficial to seek dermatological advice when determining the different needs of your skin. Ensure that the carrier base of the serum you use is suitable for your skin. And of course, I recommend researching whether the manufacturing company is reliable.
