hello i'm dr janine bowring naturopathic doctor and today i'll be sharing with you how to make
a vitamin c serum at home for youthful glowing spotless beautiful skin this is something that
i shared in our full length episode on the dr janine show exactly how to make that so let's
take a look at it now so this is a recipe for a natural vitamin c serum that you can make at
home for youthful glowing spotless skin so if you get you know the sun spots if you have age spots
you can use this on your hands you can certainly use it all over your face and your neck and your
decollete anywhere that you really want to improve your skin texture you want to you know have that
beautiful effect of that antioxidant from the vitamin c this is something that you can do on
your own and the ingredients are relatively easy to find we just got these down the street at our
local health food store and certainly from our sponsors at vitatree we are using our whole food
vitamin c capsules and opening that up to make our serum so what we have here is we have some
glycerin so the glycerin we have two teaspoons of glycerin and the glycerin is a natural way
to sort of pull all of the ingredients together and five teaspoons of rose water so rose water is
beautiful it smells so nice it's smelling up the studio it just smells so good so you're going
to add that into your glycerin and i'm going to mix these up and then i'm going to add in
the whole food vitamin c and again this is our organic vitamin c capsules that will mix
into here and that has the active ascorbic acid which again is directly from nature
and this one contains some of those really potent ingredients that we talked about so the
acerola cherries the camu camuberries which are super concentrated in that whole food
vitamin c which is fantastic that ascorbic acid so this is five capsules that i'm opening up
and you can see because again it's directly from nature you can see the vibrancy of the color of
those ingredients from this whole food supplement and now mixing this
you can see and this takes a little bit of mixing if i wasn't doing it for the show
i would probably take about 10 minutes or so just to
lightly mix this up and then it totally goes into that solution you can see
and you're going to let this sit and i find if it sits overnight that concentration
of that ascorbic acid so that natural vitamin c really potentizes itself and then you're going
to use this on your skin and it's all i'll do just a few drops here you're going to see
that and what i would do also is pour it into my my dark glass jar so that's something again that i
purchased at the health food store but to be able to because this will oxidize very quickly as it's
exposed to light and air so that's the thing about vitamin c is that it is very sensitive
when it is in that whole food form so you want to protect it you want it to be in a dark container
but you also and you can see that's beautiful and and some people actually use this because
it gives a bit of a tan look to the skin which is fantastic but if you're looking as your tan is now
fading going into our cold winter months here in canada you can use this as a natural tanner right
on your face and you'll have that nice sun-kissed glow without unfortunately here in canada having
enough of that natural sun exposure but you can see how beautiful that is and it really is
so lovely for the skin i'm going to pour that into my container really quickly because i don't want
this to oxidize i don't want to waste my fantastic mixture here so pouring that into my dark glass
container and then you're going to store that and that's going to be good for you
for months and just keep it at room temperature and you can use a little bit of that every morning
and evening and you're going to love the way that your skin looks with using that so great for sun
spots great for uv damage also great for the wrinkles so if you're if you've got the wrinkles
and you want to see them you know disappearing or minimizing then that act of vitamin c right
on your skin is something that you will love and you know it's it's fantastic to be able to do that
so i hope that you'll be able to put these wonderful ingredients together yourself at home
