You, Me and the C

Vitamin C products are all the rage right now. And they should be for good reason. Vitamin C is a natural way to brighten and repair damaged skin cells. I recently have been suffering from severe anxiety. I can't seem to get a grasp on the moving parts of my life: postponing our big fat Italian wedding, working full time at a university as an essential medical staff employee and trying to keep the house clean with two hairy dogs during a quarantine. It's a lot to handle at once. And if you're like me you're a little stressed too. Stress and anxiety are two killer ingredients for a crap cocktail towards your skin. Stress dries your body out and keeps you from retaining the natural oils you produce. I noticed my skin was dull and flaky in the morning more often than not. It made me feel pretty drab leaving the house in a hurry to get to work where I knew i would be wearing a mask all day. No one would see my skin but I would know what I looked like and it bothered me. Knowing that you aren't looking your best is a real bummer. It changes your mood and brings the day down. With the wedding pending, I decided to look for something to restore my dry skin to set a path for a better day.

I wanted to get something that would help bring the shine back into my skin. If i could start the day looking refreshed, I would probably fell better throughout the whole day too. By doing some research, I decided I wanted a product with Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid. Hyaluronic Acid (or HA for short) is a natural substance our body produces throughout our life. When we age, supplies of HA diminish naturally. Replenishing our skin’s reservoir helps maintain a plump, dewy, and healthy condition. HA decreases fine lines and wrinkles to give a more youthful appearance. By using a product with HA & Vitamin C you flood your skin with hydration and help strengthen your natural moisture barrier. Friends, these are all good things.

I dug around the internet and found some pretty expensive options. Being a bride on a budget, I knew I couldn't splurge on something $$$ just yet. So I turned to my trusted Amazon account. I was surprised to find a product in my price range with over 13,000 good reviews! With that much positive feed back and an ingredients list I approved of, I ordered a bottle. True Skin Facial Serum is only $20 so the price was a steal as well. After using it for a week I have noticed that my skin looks smoother in appearance and the pores around my nose do look a bit smaller. What I really love is how it hydrates my skin in the morning. I wake up, wash my face and put a small dropper fills onto my skin. I notice how it gives me a glow and tightens things up. I feel better knowing that I found something good for my skin and it is in my price range. Who says skin care has to be expensive? True Skin also has Vitamin E in its formula which brings natural antioxidants to the party. Score! I'm looking forward to continuing using this product to keep my skin healthy.

Are you struggling with similar issues? Does your skin does not feel as bright or as firm as your past self? Don't get caught in the SEA of products. (SEE what I did there?) Pick up some Vitamin C facial serum to kick start your summer glow.
