QuestionCan I use tablets to make the serum?Community AnswerA lot of DIY recipes tell you to dissolve either vitamin C tablets or L-ascorbic acid powder in water. But once you apply the resulting lotion to your skin, the vitamin C will recrystallize. Crystallized vitamin C can't penetrate skin, and if it can't do that, it won't work as an antioxidant.

QuestionCan I use toner first on my face and then apply vitamin C serum and after sometime apply my favourite night cream by adding a drop of tea tree essential oil into it on my face?Community AnswerYes, after cleansing your face, the next step would be a toner, then a serum and as a last step your night cream or moisturizer. Be aware that tea tree oil is great against acne and breakouts, but also very drying to the skin. You can mix it with your night cream, yes, to keep the skin hydrated. If you want a stronger effect, apply the essential oil before the cream, for example after the toner or mixed with the serum.

QuestionHow long can I use the lotion for?Abigail LangfordCommunity AnswerIt can really depend on what brand it's from and how much you use it a day. Normal lotion can be used every day, but If you use so much lotion that your skin starts feeling sticky, you should definitely use less. The final answer is, you can use your lotion until it has run out, just make sure you are not using too much.
