If you have some interest in skincare, you must have heard of serums. Let me tell you something about them, and there is a special kind of serum that helps fade HYPER PIGMENTATION, SUNBURN, and DARK SPOTS — Vitamin c SERUM. #skinherball

[Retweet so others can see please] Image
Generally speaking, Serum is a skincare product you can apply to your skin after cleansing but before moisturizing with the intent of delivering powerful ingredients directly into the skin. 

Serum is particularly suited to this task because it is made up of smaller molecules
that can penetrate deeply into the skin and deliver a very high concentration of active ingredients. This makes them a great tool for targeting specific skincare concerns, like wrinkles. Goodbye, signs of aging!

Now straight to vitamin c serum;
1. It's safe for most skin types. though, In rare cases, people who have hypersensitive skin may experience minor irritation.

2. It's hydrating.

3. It's brightens. Vitamin C can help fade pigmentation and smooth the skin’s surface to reduce dullness. This gives skin a youthful
Glow.

4. It helps reduce redness and even out your skin tone.

5. It fades hyper pigmentation —including sun spots, age spots, and melasma — occurs when melanin is overproduced in certain areas of the skin. It can also happen in areas where acne has healed.
Vitamin c impedes melanin production. This makes the serum fade dark spots and lead to a more even-toned complexion.

7. It protects against sun damage. Sun damage is caused by molecules called free radicals. These are atoms with a missing electron
Free radicals search for other atoms from which they can “steal” an electron —and this can lead to significant damage to the skin.

Vitamin C is rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants protect healthy skin cells by “giving” these free radicals an electron, rendering them harmless.
8. It may help sooth sunburn. In addition to minimizing redness, vitamin C accelerates cell turnover. This replaces the damaged cells with healthy new ones.

Vitamin C serum is typically applied once or twice per day. A good rule of thumb is to cleanse, tone, apply vitamin C
Serum and then Moisturize. Don't forget to apply sunscreen during the day.

This is my own vitamin c SERUM.
You can easily find this in the market. Please note that your serum must come in a dark bottle; this is to prevent oxidation. If it's in a clear bottle, ImageImageImage
It will easily be oxidized by sun exposure and the effects will be annihilated.

Include this into your routine, it will help your ACNES heal too, and you will see the difference.
I know this thread was helpful and I don't need to emphasize on the fact that your Retweet is important. Please help me reach more people by retweeting. Thanks for your support. Bless you.

The ordinary glycolic acid toning solution has got 7% glycolic acid.

Now the brand says it's a toner, and should be used once daily.

That's dangerous because there's nothing toning in the toner. You're just going to over exfoliate your skin and it's trouble.
Now I think Neutrogena has got a facial scrub as well. People just go to the shelf and assume that because the reputable brand writes FACIAL on it, so it's ideal to use on the face. That also wrong and it's a lie.
It's absolutely hypocrisy if you undermine organic skincare vendors by saying because no proper public orientation about how their products are formulated, they become fake but still go ahead to buy a facial scrub from Neutrogena, because they're popular and it's imported.

You're probably a new follower if you still use scrubs on your face as an Exfoliant.

You probably assume your dead skin cells are like a mask covering your face, and you need to scrub it off.

In this place, we Exfoliate chemically not with scrubs.
Chemical Exfoliation is superb because it not only targets our dead skin cells, they also help improve skin concerns. You can't treat acne by using a scrub. That's a big scam, but you can treat acne by Exfoliating with a BHA or an AHA.
So now, chemical exfoliants are categorized into two.

1. AHA: alpha hydroxy acids; they include Glycolic acid or mandelic acid or lactic acid. These are the most common in skincare.

Glycolic acid has tiny molecules and penetrates the skin deeper. And can help improve

Some cleansing tips: share✨🤗

1. If your Cleanser contains alcohol denat or isopropyl alcohol, it's drying and not good for your skin.

2. Witch hazel or anything astringent related aren't good for your skin due to their stripping effects.

3. Cleanse for 60sec.
4. If you've got inflammation concerns, cleanse for less time, maybe 30 secs, and do it only once daily at night. You can wash your face with just clean water when you wake up in the morning.

5. Cleanse properly and focus on the areas around your nose.
6. If you've got oily skin, going for a stripping Cleanser which mostly contains drying alcohols like the ones mentioned above will only worsen your oily skin — puts a strain on your sebaceous glands.

Stick to gentle foaming or lotion or gel cleansers.

Skincare ingredients you can use or avoid when pregnant✨ [share to someone]

1. Retinol/Retinoids are superior ingredients in skincare and should be treated with respect at all times. They're vitamin A derivatives and should be avoided during pregnancy or while nursing.
2. Benzoyl peroxide is an excellent ingredient to combat pimples that appear "ear and dear" and should be great to use even when pregnant, but stick to 5% or less, so that junior can continue to kick harder and score goals.
3. Don't use skin brighteners that contain hydroquinone. This is common. Very common. Pregnant/nursing mom's bleaching their skin with steroids and high doses of hydroquinone because they want to look like Kim Kardashian.

You think is 3k cream she used???

Ingredients/products I really trust can help your inflammed pimples:

1. Benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, differin/adapalene gel

2. Lots of Hydration & anti-inflammatory: snail mucin, niacinamide.

3. Exfoliation: mandelic acid serums.

Re-tweet for some awareness.
Relating products:

The @cerave 4% benzoyl peroxide cream cleanser. Great for people with (nodules, pastules, cysts) I suggest you alternate with a gentle cleanser.

A benzoyl peroxide spot treatment of 5% will also do your acnes good.
For hormonal acne or any inflammed acnes, sulfur is more efficient and gentler than benzoyl peroxide as benzoyl can be drying for most people. Sulfur works by sucking out excess sebum. Not to look far, @Viviglowskin sulfur clay mask is affordable and will do a lot on your skin.

Something's you should know.:

1. Oily skin does not necessarily mean acne prone skin. Any skin type can be acne prone.

2. Not Every alcohol in skincare is bad.

Cetyl alcohol, lauryl alcohol and stearyl alcohol are fatty alcohols.

Retweet please.
This means they're fatty acids that have been exposed to hydrogen (you will understand better if you do chemistry).

They’re used as emollients or spreading ingredients, and can be found in your sunscreens as well, makes it easier to spread without it being greasy.
3. Alcohols not needed are denatured alcohol (alcohol denat), isopropyl alcohol.

4. Fragrance is not necessarily evil. Though a few with sensitive skin or eczema might experience allergies from them.

5. Parabens are preservatives in skincare and have been proven by the FDA.
