DIY Vitamin C Serum to prevent wrinkles and reduce skin discoloration

Just a little FYI - This isn't professional advice, I'm simply sharing a recipe found online and modified to my liking. You can substitute the rose water for glycerin if you prefer.

What you need:
1 ounce of rose water
2/8 TSP of vitamin C crystals
a dark bottle with a dropper

Some vitamin C facts and benefits:
- vitamin C is a prime ingredient of collagen
- it attributes of healthy, radiant, younger looking skin
- proper collagen production fights wrinkles
- improve skin evenness in the skin's tone and texture
- can reduce the appearance of skin discoloration
- protects the skin from sun damage
- helps healing of wounds and reduce inflammation

I've tried numerous different toners, serums, but every time I do, I get pimples and my skin gets worse. I've been trying for months.
Recently, I read someone's feedback and began applying litlexttra rice berry vitamin c face serum. It's working well, and I don't have pimples issues anymore. My skin looks better than ever.
Sometimes, I also use a besan face pack, which makes it glow even more.

Hi yes! It does work up to great extent!
I have hormonal acne and I have lot of acne scars which just don't go away until 6 months or more once I get acne, so I had rose water and I just crushed vitamin c tablet and added to rose water ( 2 tbsp rose water + 1/8 tsp of vitamin c tablet crushed powder+ 3-4 drops of glycerine) and I filled up in a small spray bottle. I just spray as toner after I wash my face. And then gently massage it and let it dry and apply moisturizer and I have noticed scars are fading faster and I m not getting any new acne so far. So it's does work! And it's very inexpensive too and natural!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I am glad I found your channel! Some of the DiY mixes are so involved. I am trying to stay simple with my skin due to my age (59) and my rosacea problem. These recipes look so great.

You should add some glycerin to extend the shelf life. Otherwise, it has to be used up right away due to the nature of vitamin C.

My mom actually uses glycerin some times, minus the aloe. I love that you can just tweak it to add a little something extra depending on what you feel your skin needs. That's the fun with DIY. Thanks for the suggestions! :)

DIY Vitamin C Serum and rose water is the best to use on your skin because using rose water can help in reducing the redness from irritated or over-heated skin, also prevent acne and pimples.Using this at night It helps clear all impurities that your face has collected through the day. I love ♥♥♥ this serum and its cheap to make great review Alexa! :)

Good point, I didn't mention that in the video. Use the dropper to dampen a cotton pad then apply to the face with light, upward strokes. If you go for a different recipe/variation that makes the serum have a thicker consistency (example: using glycerin... etc) then you could apply it with hands/fingers.

I've never tried a skin serum but i want to. Definitely going to try this. Thanks for the DIY never thought it would be so easy to make!

Yup, that's why it's best to make it little by little so that you avoid that from happening.

Thank for sharing this. Such  simple procedure to follow.

You can get vitamin C gel filled caplets, cut the end off and apply the gel straight onto your skin. Use it Overnight. Not during the day. My mom used to do this.

[nalinimaraj]

Thank God I found your video. I hate glycerin and was wondering if the serum would be as effective if I left the glycerin out. I'm making it your way next time. Love your video as it was informative and straightforward.

[rubyvernekar]

You are so pretty doll. Love your voice and skin. Please could you tell me if only this serum is the secret for ur flawless face??

[EllieSmtl]

Ah making it with rose water seems so ingenious! I tried and tried to make it work with glycerine but never managed to dissolve crystals and I actually react badly to glycerine. I'll give this a try. I used to use ascorbic acid powder to help me get rid of those post acne marks. Must wear SPF if doing this.

[samiaayesha]

No problem, you can definitely switch up the recipe. Like I mentioned, there are tons of different variations, so it really depends on what type of texture you prefer or what type of care your skin needs.
