Wearing sunscreen 365 days per year, rain or shine is certainly the most important skincare step you can do to maintain healthy, beautiful skin. And now consider giving your SPF a little extra boost by layering a vitamin C-based serum underneath your sunscreen. No matter how diligent you are about applying sunscreen, it’s inevitable that your skin is still going to get some amount of sun exposure. Vitamin C’s benefits for skin are vast, including its ability to even out skin tone and diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that works to scavenge the damaging free radicals that form as a result, acting as a second line of defence and an extra layer of protection.
If you're new to using vitamin C on your skin it's best to start out with a low concentration and work your way up as your skin grows more accustomed to the ingredient.
