Notable celebrities like Pamela Anderson and Jennifer Aniston have openly expressed their fondness for different skincare oils like almond and rosehip due to their moisturizing effects and ability to improve skin tone and texture.
This Blog explores the effects of combining rosehip oil with Vitamin C, examining the reasons behind its growing popularity in skincare.
What is Vitamin C, and Why is it Important?
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is naturally found in fruits and vegetables. A major plus point is that it suits almost every skin type due to its safety profile. It has a solid effect on hyperpigmentation and gradually brightens the skin tone, resulting in a youthful complexion. Thankfully, it also slows down melanin production and eventually evens our skin surface.
Reduce Sunburn
According to a 2017 study, vitamin C promotes cell turnover which replaces old cells with new healthy cells. (1) Applying a vitamin C oil along with vitamin E skin brightening face oil has been known to reduce sunburn caused by UV rays.
How to Use Vitamin C Face Oil?
While it supports most skin types, some skincare products may cause certain side effects. Hence, it’s important to do a patch test to see if it suits your skin.
● Apply a small amount of oil to your designated skin area, such as your arm.
● Wait for 24 hours; apply it to your face if no side effect occurs.
● If you experience redness or inflammation, discontinue the process.
● If all goes well, apply the product gently.
If the patch test is successful, here’s the general routine of vitamin C face oil application.
● Wash your face with lukewarm water and use a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, oils, and pollutants.
● Apply a toner after cleansing to increase the efficacy and absorption of this oil.
● Apply a small amount of face oil to your face with your fingertips.
● Massage the oil gently upward, especially on trouble areas like dark spots or under-eye bags.
● Apply a moisturizer to lock in moisture and face oil.
● Lastly, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin when you go out.
