This DIY vitamin C serum is a DIY vitamin c serum with coconut oil. Vitamin C powder is one of my favorite all-natural remedies used and recommended for treating both the skin and the body. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that works along with collagen to keep our hair, nails, teeth, and joints strong. This is one reason why vitamin C collagen gummies are becoming so popular in the beauty industry. As a potent antioxidant, I have personally discovered that enough vitamin C can also work wonders on the dark under eye circles. However, it does so in a way that you are probably not thinking since this is a DIY vitamin C serum recipe. Keep reading to the end to find out more about the gummies and under eye circles remedy as well.
1. Vitamin C
According to research studies, vitamin C is more effective for the skin when it is taken orally. In this way, the blood flowing to the skin can carry and deliver the necessary vitamin C to the skin surface. When applied topically, vitamin C has a difficult time passing through the external epidermal layer of skin and into the dermal layer of the skin that actually controls the structure and elasticity of the skin. So, this is where a DIY vitamin C serum with coconut oil may be more beneficial.
2. Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is an all-natural, deeply penetrating oil that increases blood flood throughout the body even when applied topically. In fact, coconut oil is one of the VERY few things that can cross over the blood brain barrier. If you have never used coconut oil before, one of the first things you may notice is an increase in your mental alertness and an increase in your physical energy. For this reason, a DIY vitamin C serum with coconut oil is definitely recommended for a daytime application.
With all of that said, if you are going to use a DIY vitamin c serum, making it with coconut oil and other skin nourishing ingredients that can penetrate the skin may be the best way to go. This DIY vitamin C serum with coconut oil is created based upon the formula for the DIY Face Serum for Mature Skin. You can learn more about the active ingredients on that page. Also be sure to review the mature skin care routine for some additional skin care tips.
