***LIKE & READ ME! SkinME episode every Monday! This week is how to make vitamin C serum that have many benefits and have scientific data that to reverse signs of aging. Vitamin C active form, L-ascorbic acid, is the only antioxidant that stimulates the synthesis of collagen to help minimize fine lines, wrinkles, and scars. Also, this serum can be use to lighten hyperpigmentation naturally.

Making your own will save money because many products on the market are extremely expensive because vitamin C is unstable and little amount of ascorbic acid. Stay away from products that in clear containers that destroy the effectiveness and the serum/lotion/cream that are tinted because you cannot tell if your skin care product was oxidized. However, vitamin C does not work on everyone but newer vitamin C derivatives still have anti-aging benefits. Always perform a batch test because vitamin C can be irritating to the skin.

***Apply the serum over the face and gently pat around the eyes but makes sure to do a patch test on the wrist to see you the serum stings/irritating. If so then use less vitamin C powder to mix weekly.

Recipe to make a weekly vitamin C serum that is more stable and less expensive:
-~$5 L-Ascorbic Acid Powder 1/4 tsp (Store in a cool and dry place. Do not store this in the bathroom cabinet because the moisture from taking showers can ruin the powder.) http://www.skinactives.com/Ascorbic-Acid-Vitamin-C.html or http://purebulk.com/l-ascorbic-acid-vitamin-c
-~$5 Glycerin 1 tsp but you can adjust this amount if it’s too sticky for your skin or can use personal lubricant (KY Jelly) or Monistat Chafing Relief Gel http://www.cvs.com/CVSApp/catalog/shop_product_detail.jsp?skuId=483707&productId=483707&WT.mc_id=Shopping_Feed_Products_Google_Free_Listing
-*** This is optional because some people can break-out. I have acne prone skin and the vitamin E helps increase sunscreen efficacy with no break-outs. ~$6 Vitamin E Oil 2-5 drops or pierce a capsule to squeeze the vitamin E oil out http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=16981&catid=183177&aid=337953&aparam=nature_s_bounty_natural_&CAWELAID=61264876
-~$3 Distilled Water 1 tsp at any drugstore like Rite Aid or CVS
- Measuring spoon
- Stirring spoon
- Cup
- Sealable non-clear container or amber/blue glass bottle. You can ask your local pharmacy for a empty medicine bottle they use to dispense liquid medicine. I’m sure they will provide it for free.

By the way, hair bow is from http://www.prettyandcute.com/Bow-Shaped-Fringe-p195.html and I’m wearing Acuvue 2 colour in hazel prescription contact lens!

This DIY Vitamin C tutorial is based on a very famous (and expensive – $215) serum. it cost me around $10 to make.

The serum contains 15% L-Ascorbic Acid, 1% Vitamin E and 0.5% Ferulic Acid.

This recipe is from the amazing Natasha at Skin Essential Actives. I take no credit for her genius (and it is genius).

Please support her at: http://stores.skinessentialactives.com/StoreFront.bok

Please visit this post to see a full rundown of the serum, and how it works:

Hello Everyone! Question: Who doesn’t love free stuff?! Well, here is a link that automatically gets you several samples that match your skin type and particular skin needs. The best thing is that there are no strings attached (i.e. you don’t have to purchase, they will not follow up, you are not entering a mailing list, etc.). You just get a package with about 6 samples (eye creams, cleansers, toners, moisturizers, treatments).
—-
Ok, to get the free samples, you need to click on this link:

http://www.mariobadescu.com/questionnaire.aspx

Just fill in all your information (takes less than 5 minutes)

At the end of the questionnaire it is kinda vague, but they will send your samples in (from my experience) 1-2 weeks. They are very generous with samples—which is why I was so excited to share this information with you all!

*I have no affiliation with Mario Badescu, I have never talked to anyone from their company in fact. I just found this link and got some freebies and wanted to share it with you
