The summer sun brings with it a chance for all of us to go out, safely, of course. Now's the best time to take great photos by the Kew Gardens or by the sea at Happy Valley in Wales. We check out our pictures, and briefly, we wonder, "how do I remove those dark spots/fine lines/acne scars?"

Beauty vloggers have called this the cure for all product, the one item that can help answer all your common skin concerns. Dermatologists and skin experts tout it as the most beneficial ingredient that should be on your daily skin-care routine. What is this magical potion? And does it really do wonders for our skins?

For your skin: Vitamin C Serums

You might be wondering why our face needs a Vitamin C serum and not any other vitamin. That's because Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that is capable of neutralizing free radicals. These free radicals occur when our bodies are exposed to pollution or UV rays and other harmful conditions. Free radicals have a long list of negative impact on our bodies as they can even cause a variety of diseases. On our skin, it can disrupt the skin's regeneration ability and slow down collagen production.

Vitamin C Serum Benefits

So what do antioxidants like Vitamin C do for our faces? Here's a list of the benefits:

·     Dermatologists have found that this vitamin is one of the best anti-ageing ingredients found in nature.

·     An immediately noticeable benefit is an increased radiance and sheen on the user's face.

·     This also builds collagen and increases the firmness of the face. Note that the older one gets the lesser collagen production.

·     Skin tone improves with hyper-pigmentation.

·     Helps protect the skin from the effects of pollution.

How should I use Vitamin C?

With all the great benefits this serum has in helping protect our skin from pollution, UV light, and free radicals, the best time to use it is in the morning.

A skin-care rule of thumb is to apply products from "thinnest" to "thickets" in terms of consistency. So the best sequence should be toner, Vitamin C Serum, followed by your moisturizer. Apply sunscreen and let it all set in your face. Then you can begin your makeup.

Everyone agrees that this product is safe and necessary to be used daily. Here's to glowing in 2020!
