Creating a DIY vitamin C cream is a simple process. You can use vitamin C powder (L-ascorbic acid) as the base, then add distilled water, rose water, and other ingredients like glycerin and vitamin E oil to create a nourishing blend.
Here's a simple recipe:
- Combine ingredients: Mix a teaspoon of vitamin C powder with a few tablespoons of distilled water or rose water in a glass bottle.
- Dissolve: Shake the bottle vigorously until the powder is completely dissolved.
- Add glycerin: Include a teaspoon of glycerin to the mixture.
- Include vitamin E oil: Puncture a vitamin E capsule and squeeze the oil into the bottle.
- Shake well: Shake the bottle again to mix all ingredients thoroughly.
Tips:
- Use a clean glass bottle.
- Store in a cool, dark place.
- Use within 3-4 weeks.
- Always conduct a patch test before applying to your face.
Important Notes:
