New Delhi/Lifestyle Desk: In today’s pollution and stressful era, everyone wants glowing and spotless skin. This is the reason why the demand for ‘Vitamin C Serum’ has increased significantly in the beauty market. It not only enhances the complexion of the face, but is also effective in removing stubborn spots and giving natural glow to the skin. However, expensive serums available in the market are often filled with preservatives and harmful chemicals, which can cause harm to sensitive skin instead of benefiting it. In such a situation, if you are also looking for a chemical-free and pure serum, then you can prepare it at home in just a few minutes.

Why is Vitamin C serum important for skin?

Vitamin C is considered a ‘superfood’ for the skin. The abundant antioxidant properties present in it work to protect the skin from free radicals and harmful UV rays of the sun. According to experts, its regular use increases the production of collagen in the skin, which keeps the skin young, tight and soft. It is like a panacea for people suffering from pigmentation, tanning and dull skin problems. Homemade serums are made from natural ingredients like aloe vera and rose water, which help in keeping the skin deeply hydrated and fresh.

Ingredients required to make serum

You do not need many ingredients to prepare pure and natural Vitamin C serum. For this, you will need 1 teaspoon Vitamin-C powder (as an alternative, you can also take fine powder of orange or lemon peels), 2 teaspoons pure rose water, 1 teaspoon fresh aloe vera gel and 3-4 drops of Vitamin-E oil for better results. To keep these ingredients, keep a small clean glass bottle (with a dropper) with you.

Method to prepare serum at home

It is very easy to make it. First of all, take rose water in a clean glass bowl and add Vitamin C powder in it until it dissolves completely. Now add aloe vera gel to this mixture and beat it until it becomes a smooth and uniform paste. Finally add a few drops of Vitamin E oil to it, which will provide additional nourishment to the skin. Now fill this prepared magical mixture in a glass bottle and keep it safe. Keep in mind that this homemade serum is completely natural, so it is best to use it fresh.

Correct method of use and precautions

To get maximum benefits of Vitamin C serum, it is recommended to use it at night (Night Skin Care Routine). First of all, clean the face thoroughly with a mild cleanser. Now apply 2-3 drops of serum on your face and massage gently in circular motion. Once the serum is completely absorbed into the skin, you can apply your regular moisturizer. To avoid any harm, do a patch test behind the ears before applying it on the entire face. If your skin is extremely sensitive, reduce the amount of powder and store it in a cool and dry place instead of exposing it to direct sunlight.
