Incorporating Vitamin C into your skincare routine during the monsoon season, especially in the form of a serum, can be a game changer. Humid weather often aggravates skin issues like dullness, uneven skin tone, and acne, making Vitamin C a vital ally. Known for its powerful antioxidant properties, Vitamin C protects the skin from environmental stresses and free radical damage, which are especially prevalent during the monsoon season. Additionally, Vitamin C promotes collagen production, improving skin firmness and elasticity, which can be compromised by fluctuating weather conditions. Vitamin C serums are excellent at reducing pigmentation and brightening the complexion, helping to make skin look radiant and even-toned even under overcast skies. Lightweight and fast-absorbing, they are perfect for the monsoon season, delivering much-needed hydration without feeling sticky or heavy.
