DIY Vitamin C Mask

Vitamin C serves many purposes for the skin. First, it helps produce collagen in the skin; collagen is what makes our skin look young and keeps our skin from forming wrinkles. Collagen is what you have in excess from about 0-20 years of age. Vitamin C also helps fade age and sun spots. Vitamin C is also a powerful antioxidant which attacks free radicals in the skin that are causing us to age prematurely. It’s one power-packed vitamin!This is a simple recipe that calls for L. Ascorbic Acid (vitamin C) and glycerin. You can leave it on your skin for 5 – 10 minutes and use it once a week. Just so you know-instead of glycerin, you can also use distilled water, coconut oil, or aloe vera for oilier skin types or vitamin E, jojoba, or olive oil for drier skin types. I like glycerin because it is moisturizing and gives this mask a good “slip.” The main ingredient that is going to deliver the results is L. Ascorbic Acid.So, let’s get started! Always make sure your vitamin C powder has an L in front of the Ascorbic. If it is not L. Ascorbic acid, it is a synthetic from of Vitamin C and is not pure.
