🍊 Glow Routine Weekly #6
“Brighten Up: A Vitamin C Skincare Routine for Daily Glow”
🌞 Routine Focus: Antioxidant-Powered Brightening Care
Goal: Fade dark spots, even out skin tone, and boost natural radiance
Best for: Dull, pigmented, sun-damaged skin
Routine Time: 10–15 minutes
Best Time: Morning (for antioxidant protection)
✨ Why Vitamin C?
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a gold standard for brightening because it:
-
✴️ Inhibits melanin production (fewer dark spots)
-
✴️ Boosts collagen for firmness
-
✴️ Neutralizes free radical damage from pollution & UV
-
✴️ Gives an instant glow when layered correctly
In Korean skincare, Vitamin C is paired with hydrating and soothing ingredients to balance its potency.
