If lipstick can have a national day all to its won, then why can’t Vitamin C? Shoot, we’re living in crazy times; we requirement to celebrate everything!
Sooooo, in situation you haven’t marked it on your calendar yet, April 4 is national Vitamin C Day. ? I plan to celebrate by eating a lot of mandarin oranges (but only the kind with the leaves attached!) as well as contemplating one of my preferred skincare ingredients.

(Vitamina C)
My preferred Vitamin C serum for the longest time has been SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic. If you want a serum that does whatever — assists with fine lines, firmness as well as dark patches — this is the stuff! When I utilize it consistently together with sunscreen, my deal with (especially my cheeks, which is where I have many of my hyperpigmentation), looks noticeably smoother as well as much more even-toned.
Unfortunately…it’s hella crazy costly at $166 for a 0.50-oz. sticla.

(Yes, OMG!)
But it truly works well for me.
SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic isn’t the only Vitamin C serum in the SkinCeuticals line though. There’s likewise Phloretin CF, which is for assisting to fade post-acne marks, as well as their new Silymarin CF, which is an oil-free version for blemish-prone skin.
Here’s a handy-dandy chart to assist figure out which one ought to be finest for you…
If you’re searching for a Vitamin C serum at a lower cost point, Vichy’s is likewise great IMO, as well as it’s $28.50 for 0.34-oz. I went with two bottles as well as saw a subtle enhancement on the unequal areas on my cheeks. It doesn’t pack the exact same punch as Skinceuticals CE Ferulic, however it still works (albeit much more slowly), as well as — added bonus — you can discover it at drugstores. I got mine on sale at Walgreens.
Gimme all the vitamin C.
While we’re on the subject of skin schtuff, here’s a heads-up for my oily-skinned good friends about a sunscreen I tried from REN. REN clean screen Mineral SPF 30 is a deal with sunscreen made with 22% zinc oxide SPF as well as a extremely flat, uber-matte finish.
Right now my skin is dry, so it’s not the very best in shape for me, however if I had very oily skin like I did in my teens as well as early 20s, I’d be completely into it. It cuts down all of THE radiate as well as then some.
FYI, zinc sunscreens normally leave a white cast, as well as this does too, however it’s extremely subtle. I’d state that if you’re lighter than I am (I’m a MAC NC42), you’ll be fine, however if you’re darker, it might leave a purplish-gray tint behind.
Other than sunscreen, the only makeup I’m using in this picture is delight (seriously, where are my eyebrows, haha). I took this picture best after I got my very first COVID vaccine shot yesterday!
Atat de fericit!
I got weirdly emotional best after it happened… It was a mix of relief as well as happiness. I kept believing of this precise time last year, when I believed that “all of this” would only last two weeks.
Yeah, I was a bit off with my quote there. ? It’s been a long year, am I right?

Anyway, I virtually danced on the method out, as well as I kept believing of that tune where all the people yell, “Shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, SHOTS!”
