Description
Healthy and affordable hydration for your skin. Always follow with a good moisturizer to protect and nourish your “birthday suit”.
Ingredients
4 Tbsp distilled water (60ml)
1/2 Tbsp Vitamin C powder (cosmetic grade)
1/2 tsp Hyaluronic Acid powder
4–5 drops Carrot Seed Oil or Frankincense Oil, if desired
Instructions
Thoroughly dissolve Vitamin C powder in distilled water, then add in Hyaluronic Acid powder. It will be clumpy! Refrigerate for an hour, or so, then stir in.
Add Oil, if desired, and transfer to a dark glass bottle with dropper.
Use generously over face, neck, and body at least once a day, followed by lotion or body oil.
Notes
Start slowly with this! Vitamin C can irritate skin if used aggressively from the beginning. However, once your skin has acclimated, you can gradually increase the amount and frequency. (As example, I now add a scant tablespoon of Vitamin C for use on my body, but continue to use this lower concentration on my face because of sensitive skin.)
Just like any citrus juice, this will sting if used on broken or irritated skin. Wait to use until razor burn, paper cuts, or any other abrasion has healed.
If the serum is not thick enough for you, add another tiny amount of Hyaluronic Acid — a little goes a long way.
This makes enough for about 2 weeks of regular use. Make a fresh batch regularly, being certain that the bottle and dropper are meticulously cleaned.
