This step is considered the heart of this entire beauty routine - Brightening your skin before a special event. It is considered so
because it entails using a product that has a high concentration of an active ingredient. A good example of an active ingredient is Vitamin C.
The step also targets a specific skin problem like skin discoloration, acne etc.
The point is that in this step you will use a product that is intended for the particular skin problem than you have.
Vitamin C serum is a good choice of product since it targets various skin problems.
Some call this kind of product Ampoules which is considered a vital step in Korean skin care which is often credited to their culture.
Ampoules used by Koreans are similar to skin serums but are of more watery consistency and usually comes out as a toner.
When applied correctly on the face, neck and decolletage you will begin to notice results within a short time. Some notice a change within few days while for tougher skins, results show within a week.
Bearing these facts in mind, you can buy it from any of your favorite beauty stores or you can opt to make your own at home which is ideal since we are going to make use of natural products considered safer than the ones bought from the stores or atleast you are sure of the ingredients you are using to make the product.

Before you use this product, you need to test it in a small area of your skin preferably your inner forearm. I recommend you apply it on a small area under your foream for few days to be sure it will not cause any skin irritation.
If all looks fine after testing you can comfortably go on to apply it on your face. If you notice any irritation, apply vaseline or coconut oil in the affected area. If the skin remains irritated, you need to see a doctor.
How to apply Vitamin Serum on your face:
Squeez or pour a bit of it in your hand. Then with the other hand dab few fingers on the product and carefully apply it on the face, neck and decolletage.
Massage gently until the product vanishes into your skin.
Some mix serums into their regular body creams or foundations but I feel that doing this will reduce the efficacy of the serum. I also feel it will react with some chemicals in your body creams or foundation which is not good.
