Homemade Skin Care Recipe: Vitamin C Peel

submitted by Mark Jones, Brighton, UK

Tip description / details:
I have been getting brilliant results from a DIY vitamin C peel. The vitamin C helps stimulate collagen production and the acidity is low enough for a mild peeling action.

Ingredients:
1/8 tsp vitamin c powder (ascorbic acid), water. You must use pure vitamin C powder, which has not been mixed with any flavors.

How to prepare:
Dissolve the vitamin C in water

How to use:
Apply with a cotton wool pad. Leave on for ten minutes before washing off any applying normal moisturizer.

Results (observed by submitter):
Firmer, tighter skin from collagen synthesis. Bright, clear complexion from the acidity being low enough to act as a very mild peel.

Costs involved:
low
