Vitamin C recovers your UV damages and brightens your skin

Hi there!

How do you usually protect and recover from UV damages?

When our body takes in UV rays, it creates active oxygen and it makes our skin become senescent. In this case, vitamin C can help us to reduce the damage. However our body can’t create vitamin C itself and we need to consume it actively.

So in this article, I’ll introduce some items which can recover your UV damages and brighten your skin to make it look healthier.

They are all my favorites because I use them regularly since I moved to Singapore.

The weather is pretty different in Singapore as compared to my home country, Japan.

I use to take vitamin C but you know, there are 4 seasons in Japan. So I had to change products depending on the seasons.

In Singapore, I don’t need to worry about seasons because it’s just summer throughout the year.

But the SUNLIGHT IS VERY STRONG HERE so we have extra care for our skin.

Believe me and read this article till the end.

I hope that this article will be useful to you.

Adds moisture to the skin and gives a healthy youthful glow

It’s light in texture and it feels moisturizing.

You can use it daily and during night time.

During the day, it protects your skin from sunlight.

During night time, it recovers your skin from UV damages.

I was shocked when I used it for night skincare for the first time.

No matter who sees it, my skin definitely became brighter the next day.

After using it once, it had become part of my favorite skincare item.

I apply it fully on my face but it’s also good on spot areas only.

HOW TO USE

1) After cleansing, prep the skin with the toner.

2) Dispense 1-2 drops of the vitamin serum on hands and apply over dull areas that lack elasticity.

-ATTENTION-

To avoid a fast oxidization

Store in a cool, shaded, dry place

Use it within 6 months after opening

Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2%

Apply a small amount to face in the AM or the PM (PM preferred). Avoid contact with the eyes. A tingling sensation can be expected after application. If the sensation is too strong to tolerate, the formula can be mixed on each application with other creams or serums of your preference.

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS

L-ascorbic acid: a potent form of vitamin C with dramatic brightening and anti-aging effects
Sodium Hyaluronate: a form of hyaluronic acid that boosts the skin's moisture content for a plump, supple, and smooth appearance

It contains vegan and free water, alcohol, oil, silicone, nut, gluten and cruelty.

They have a 30% type too. The main difference between both products is the texture.

23% is heavy and rough texture and 30% is smooth texture with silicone.

I do feel that 23% is heavy, a little sticky and rough. But dimethicone (the part of silicon) in 30% reduces vitamin’s effect.

HOW TO USE

1)Apply a pea-sized amount to your skin in the morning or at night after toners and water-based products

-ATTENTION-

Expect a slight tingling sensation during the first 1-2 weeks of use. If irritation occurs, this product can be diluted to reduce its strength.

As I mentioned earlier, our body can’t produce vitamin C itself so I’ll introduce two supplements.

Vitamin C is also necessary for the production of collagen (a structural protein in connective tissue) and is therefore important for skin, bone, and joint health.

Vitamin C is needed for amino acid metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis, and the utilization of many nutrients, such as folic acid and iron. It is also a highly effective antioxidant that can help maintain healthy tissues by neutralizing free radicals generated during normal metabolism and exposure to environmental stressors.
