There is something I had to share. I have been using this for the past 3-4 months and there is a noticeable difference in my skin since I started using this serum.
1/4 teaspoon of l ascorbic acid.
1 teaspoon of rose water
3/4 teaspoon glycerine
1/4 Vitamin E oil
1 Amber glass bottle to store in
Take a clean container add 1/4 teaspoon l ascorbic acid to 1 teaspoon rose water, mix it well. You'll need to leave it around for 45min to an hour, and when you come back it should have dissovled.
To this add 3/4 teaspoon glycerine and 1/4 teaspoon Vitamin E oil. Again mix well, they all are very different type of consistency/density so they dont mix that easily. The Vitmain E oil will always seem to be floating on top. Just let it be, be sure to mix the bottle you store the serum in before you apply.
Apply 2-3 drops of serum once or twice a day. This supply will last you 10 days to two weeks.
Store it in your refrigerator if possible (prevents it from oxidizing too quickly)
if the solution changes colour discard (as that means the vitamin c is oxidized and will not be beneficial to you. )
Try this amount of Vitamin C on your skin, if it irritates your skin reduce the amound of l ascorbic acid that you use. This formula gets it to about 10% in the serum.
If don't wish to use Vitamin E oil just use 1 full teaspoon of glycerine and the consistency of the serum will seem a lot better.
The total investment is between $35 but it is enough ingrident to make you a serum for the rest of the year. I have been making this for the last 3-4 months and I am no where near making a dent in the supplies.
Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do.
