SkinME – Minimize Scars & Wrinkles with DIY Vitamin C Serum
***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.

Skincare! ANTI-AGING! AN INTRODUCTION PART 1! Product rec’s included!
Hello BB’S! Here is the INTRO to my ANTI-Aging series. If you haven’t seen my skincare series of vid’s, 1, 2 and 3, PLEASE watch those first! THIS is the most COMPLEX of all of the skincare vid’s I plan to do. To avoid sounding like a commercial, I wanted to SPEAK a little about the subject, some of the KEY factors/bullet points and THEN list my recommendations for what are the most STATE OF THE ART anti-aging products on the market. There is not just ONE miracle ingredient for the skin or ONE ingredient that is capable of reversing free radical damage, sun damage and the inevitable signs of aging! Here are MY PICS (I do have more) of the products on the market today that have SCIENCE behind their effects and benefits for the skin. Here are some of the BEST!
I SUGGEST ANYTHING from this line. PCA SKIN. http://www.pcaskin.com/
I can HONESTLY say that EVERY one of their products are well formulated, EFFECTIVE and contain all the things your skin needs to function properly. I use their professional line on my clients (as well as many other brands) and SWEAR by the outcome my clients have had. PCA Skin has products available to the public. Check out their site and their before and after pics! I promise you that they ARE NOT retouched! I SWEAR by their Vitamin C 15% or 20% NO. I am NOT in ANY way affiliated w/ PCA Skin or ANY of the product company’s listed below
I speak of Hydroquinone. Hydroquinone has been banned in most countries. This is a VERY controversial ingredient. However, when Hydroquinone is formulated properly it has study after study proving it to be an effective and SAFE skin lightening ingredient. If you feel uncomfofrtable w/ Hydroquinone there are OTHER ingredients such as Resorcinol, Kojic acid etc. that can have the same effects when in the correct formulation!
