Vitamin C Serum for youthful even tone bright skin using Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate or L-Ascorbic Acid. Vitamin C is a must for anyone serious about their skincare.
Hi so today i am taking you on my walk i will be talking about vitamin c but i decided to do this from outside it is so gorgeous i don’t know if you can see this is where this is where i’m going to be filming in a few minutes but i just love this place so much that i thought you know what let me come and hang out here with my friends and have a very therapeutic
Talk about vitamin c and yeah just to share what i found out because i found out some very exciting stuff so let me settle in so hi guys so it’s so i finally made it to the gazebo and it’s just beautiful out here i can’t wait until i have my own home with a little patio where i can just hang out outside and enjoy my cup of coffee but i’m all settled over here i
Have my coffee i have my notes i want to make sure that i give you as accurate information as i possibly can but today is all going to be about vitamin c and the benefits of vitamin c on the skin i’ve been taking vitamin c internally for years now and you know that it’s a powerful antioxidant uh it boosts immunity i’m getting a little warm going to take that off
It boosts immunity so overall it’s very good to in tissue it has a role in tissue repair so it’s really good overall to take vitamin c internally and what i’ll do is in the description below i’ll give you more information i’ll share brands and things of that nature but i really love vitamin vitamin c taking taking it internally but until recently i never ever
Considered taking vitamin c topically and i got interested in it because i am at a stage in my life where i want to age gracefully i’m in my late 40s and i want to take as good care as my skin as i possibly can so today i am not wearing any makeup which is not anything new i do i do this quite often on my channel but i did this purposely to show you so you can
Watch and you can see for yourself throughout this video how my skin is looking so little spoiler alert vitamin c serum does work it is scientifically proven what i’m saying is scientifically based you can research it on google and in various articles you will see that what i’m sharing with you is completely accurate and i’ll do my best to share articles with
You as well but the primary reason i started to use vitamin c vitamin c serum is to help with hyperpigmentation so i have hyper pigmentation on my skin i tend to be darker around the eyes around the mouth and i thought that using vitamin c would help improve that a little bit oh i see i think there’s a truck coming so i’m just going to have to resume this okay
So in order for the l ascorbic acid or the vitamin c serum to be effective when it is laced with l-ascorbic acid it needs to contain vitamin e vitamin e is going to make that type of vitamin c stable and a ferulic acid is going to make the ph low enough so it penetrates the epidermis which is the top layer of the skin and so it has a higher chance to get all the
Way to the dermis and as far as the percentage right the the ratio it needs to be between 10 and 20 percent uh under 10 don’t even bother you’re going to lose your money you got to waste your money and above 20 it’s going to be irritating to the skin and in my case the vitamin c serum that i started to use has contains 20 of ascorbic acid which is a really nice
Dose um and which makes it very potent and it has the vitamin e and it has has the folic acid however the higher the percentage uh the more chances that it will cause irritation and that’s exactly what happened to me like around this area right here i would start to get irritated here so i would not be able to use that vitamin c around my eyes at all so what i
Started using is that i would squirt i would put it on my laugh line like so i would then put it like this spread it like that put it a little bit around my mouth and then dab and then around my forehead i would go into little circles like so and go down my nose a little bit and anything that’s left i would dab my hands and i would just dab it into my skin and
Then finishing up with my neck so that’s what i’ve been doing every single night since uh april 9th except maybe for three times when i started to see irritation around my eyes i stopped for one night put a little shea butter at night and then i would start again because i just really wanted the product to work uh and i really wanted to see the effects so i
Persisted a little bit around the eyes until i really saw that it was irritating and then it would become counterproductive because if i’m irritated then i’m going to have some dark spots and i’m trying to prevent dark spots so that would not have worked so i um used it exclusively at night i’m trying to get my thoughts so i use it exclusively at night for a
Couple of reasons vitamin c any type of vitamin c on the skin is going to increase photosensitivity meaning that it’s going to deplete the melanin in the skin which is going to make you more vulnerable to the sun clearly i have tons of melanin so uh so it may not be as much of a problem for me as for a person with fair skin but you just have to be mindful of
These things you can use vitamin c serum during the daytime you just have to use it with a sunscreen and until i got sunscreen i got some screen recently i share that in another video and until i wore sunscreen i would not have considered wearing vitamin c during a vitamin c serum during the day so you can wear it is safe to wear vitamin c serum during the
Day as long as you wear a sunscreen but the the articles according to the articles that i read vitamin c will repair photo damage right any damage from the sun but they advise to wear it after you’re exposed to sun so yes you can wear vitamin c and then wear sunscreen on top but it is generally advised to wear vitamin c after you’ve been exposed to the sun so
You know just take that information and do with it whatever you please but i choose to only wear it at night it kind of works for me and that’s probably why i didn’t see results as quickly as another person would have because i just decided to wear it just you know just just in the evening so yeah i would essentially wear it uh i essentially wear it at night so
Yeah for the past few weeks and i’ve been very very happy with the result i know that i can tell i can tell that there is a difference and you can watch previous videos as i said i mean right now this is excellent lighting clearly um but i find that it’s making my skin brighter uh like i said i’m in my late 40s and clearly uh i i believe that i have uh that i’m
Very fortunate to have good genes but still i think that it’s definitely um working in my favor so if you enjoy the video i have another part another vitamin c that i want to talk to you about but before i do so if you enjoy the video so far please give it a like so i can be seen by more people so i could be become visible did you know that only a fraction of
The people that are subscribed to my channel see the video until you watch it until the end until you like it it’s not uh youtube will not share it with the rest of my own subscribers so if you want to help your girl if you want to help me have a voice and a presence on youtube do share the video with others okay thank you i will i really appreciate my communi
Community i really appreciate you thank you so now i’ve been telling you a little bit about l-ascorbic acid and now i’m going to tell you about another vitamin c another product that is definitely worth your while as i was doing research for this video i noticed that one of my favorite brands launched their own brand of vitamin c serum so when i looked into it and
I reached out to them i asked them what’s the concentration because i made the assumption that they were using l-ascorbic acid and when they responded and i’ll share the com the communication the exchange with you guys when they responded they said oh no we’re not we’re not using that what we’re using is actually called tetrahexal decal and ascorbate and it’s
More potent it more beneficial for the skin it’s not irritating so basically it’s better than l-ascorbic acid so it does everything that l-ascorbic acid does but it’s a non-irritant and it does it better i mean mind-blown um and i and i looked it up i did a little bit of research i looked it up i reached out to dermatologists just to have a clear idea before i
Came on here and told you i haven’t tried this other product but that’s what you should be trying and and to be completely transparent that’s the product i’m going to switch uh i what i’m currently using works really really well but it’s irritating my skin now there is another product out there that works better that’s non-irritant you know that’s a no-brainer
And what i i should give you a little bit of science too just to so that you get a full picture l-ascorbic acid is water-soluble and when you look at the skin you have the the layers of epidermis and then you have the dermis because the l-ascorbic acid you want it to be at a certain percentage right i said 20 between 10 and 20 percent the reason why you want
It to be at such a high percent is you want to increase its chance or its chances to get all the way to the dermis right but between between the top layer of your skin and the dermis there is a lot of fat so you already know what i’m going to say water and fat don’t mix really well and that’s why the percentage of ls carbide acid needs to be so high in order to
Have a chance to be effective when it comes to tetra i’m going to call it tetra for sure tetrax tetraxol decal ascorbate it’s different because it’s fat soluble so it penetrates the skin faster therefore it’s more effective so i i’m just very pleased personally with that information and you know i’ve given you a lot of information today so you have to decide
Which vitamin c you would prefer to use when you think about investing your money it’s like anything maybe your product is going to be cheaper like l-ascorbic acid tends to be cheaper it’s easier to produce but you have to look at the results right you will get the results but with perhaps maybe with a little bit of irritation but you will get excellent results
With that but you will get better results using tetrahexo deco ascorbate so so yeah so that’s uh that’s kind of my conclusion i was really pleasantly surprised i hope to be doing a review where i share with you my progress if you’re interested in my journey right now like i said all i want to do is age gracefully i’m not looking to look 20 but if i could age
Gracefully keep wrinkles at bay for as long as possible and look youthful i don’t need to to like i said i don’t need anything extravagant but if i could look youthful for as long as possible i will take it so thank you so much for watching this vlog i hope you enjoyed the video give it a like subscribe i have big goals but obviously i cannot achieve them without
You i want to continue building a community so any feedback you want to spare i will take it if there’s anything you want to see on my channel definitely let me know but i do appreciate you i love my community i will see you next monday at 6 p.m take care bye
