Why is Vitamin C essential for glowing skin?

Vitamin C is one of the most powerful skincare ingredients when it comes to brightening your skin and achieving an even complexion. It works by reducing dark spots, evening out skin tone, and protecting against free radicals caused by sun exposure and pollution. If you live in Kenya, where sun exposure is high year-round, incorporating Vitamin C into your skincare routine is a game-changer.

Step-by-Step Guide to Using Vitamin C in Your Skincare Routine

1. Cleanse Your Skin with a Brightening Face Wash
   Before applying Vitamin C, make sure your skin is clean and free of dirt and oil. The Nalela Vitamin C Brightening Cleanser is packed with antioxidants that help prep your skin for the next steps while leaving it fresh and radiant.

2. Apply a Hydrating Toner
   A good toner helps balance your skin and allows better absorption of Vitamin C serum. The Nalela Rose Water Hydrating Toner refreshes the skin and preps it for maximum product penetration.

3. Use the Right Vitamin C Serum
   Not all Vitamin C serums are created equal! The Nalela Radiance Boost Vitamin C Serum contains a stable form of Vitamin C that brightens skin, reduces hyperpigmentation, and boosts collagen production. Apply 2-3 drops to your face and gently pat it into your skin.

4. Lock in Moisture with a Hydrating Cream
   Vitamin C works best when paired with hydration. The Nalela Glow Hydration Moisturizer contains hyaluronic acid and shea butter to deeply nourish the skin, leaving it plump and glowing.

5. Never Skip Sunscreen
   Since Vitamin C makes your skin more sensitive to the sun, always apply Nalela SPF 50 Daily Sunscreen in the morning. This ensures your skin remains protected while reaping the brightening benefits of Vitamin C.

6. Use a Vitamin C Face Mask for an Extra Boost
   For an added glow, treat your skin to the Nalela Honey & Aloe Vera Glow Mask once or twice a week. This helps to enhance brightness and keep your skin looking fresh and youthful.
