WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE VITAMIN C SERUM FOR SKIN CARE

• 1 tsp   Vitamin C (in the form of either L Ascorbic Acid powder OR Camu powder. The ultra fine powders can be easier to handle. Camu is an all natural alternative that is the most concentrated form of Vitamin C known.)
• 1 tsp   Distilled Water
• 1 tsp   Vegetable Glycerine

HOW TO MAKE VITAMIN C SERUM FOR SKIN CARE

1. Mix all of the ingredients until the vitamin C powder if dissolved
2. After cleaning your face and neck, rub the vitamin C serum between your clean, dry palms and then apply over your face and neck
3. Leave on overnight
4. Make this in small quantities and use all of the vitamin C quickly. This is important to ensure that the vitamin C serum does not become oxidized - a process that renders vitamin C serums less effective. (Powdered vitamin C is useful to reduce the chance of losing the effectiveness of a vitamin C serum).

OBSERVATIONS & QUESTIONS

• When first applied, the vitamin C serum stings slightly.
• I wanted to try using zinc oxide with this serum because it is a natural broad range sun block. However, unlike ascorbic acid and camu, it is not water soluble. Any thoughts or ideas?
