Vitamin c routine for glowing skin

Why Dull Skin Keeps Coming Back—Even When You Try New Products

You buy yet another serum hoping for that fresh, radiant look, but your skin just stays flat. It's frustrating. Pollution, sun exposure, and skipping sunscreen break down collagen and ramp up free radicals. The result? Your skin loses its glow and starts looking tired.

What Causes Skin to Lose Its Radiance

Free radicals, unstable molecules from sun and pollution, attack your skin cells every day. Vitamin C works as an antioxidant, neutralizing these troublemakers before they cause lasting damage. That's why it's a go-to for dermatologists who actually want results, not just promises.

What Actually Works for Brighter, Glowing Skin

You need a routine with stabilized vitamin C—think ascorbic acid or sodium ascorbyl phosphate. A 10-20% concentration is ideal for most people. Pair it with sunscreen in the morning and a gentle cleanser at night. Don’t forget about hydration; vitamin C can be drying if you skip your moisturizer.

Practical Steps for a Vitamin C Routine

• Step 1: Wash your face with a gentle, non-stripping cleanser.
• Step 2: Pat skin dry. Apply 3-5 drops of vitamin C serum to your face and neck.
• Step 3: Wait 1-2 minutes, then layer on a fragrance-free moisturizer.
• Step 4: Finish with broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every morning.

Pro Tip

If you have sensitive skin, start with vitamin C every other day and work up. Look for formulas with added hyaluronic acid or ferulic acid for extra stability and hydration.

Common Mistakes That Sabotage Your Glow

Skipping sunscreen is the biggest mistake. UV rays break down vitamin C, making your efforts useless. Using expired or brownish vitamin C serum also does nothing for your skin—it's already oxidized. Applying too much too often can cause irritation, redness, or even breakouts.

• Don’t store your serum in direct sunlight.
• Don’t mix vitamin C with retinol or exfoliating acids at the same time; alternate nights if you use both.
