JAKARTA - Although some people apply vitamin C every day on the face, some skin experts recommend not to do it because it can cause more acne.

The frequency of applying vitamin C to your face can differ from that of each person, depending on several factors, including the skin type and specific products you use. Reporting from the Times of India, Tuesday, July 18, beauty experts in India recommend applying vitamin C topically every two days or three times a week.

For more details, here are the guidelines for using vitamin C so that the results on the face are maximized.

Many people prefer to use vitamin C in the morning because it can provide antioxidant protection against environmental stressors throughout the day. It can also help brighten the skin and level skin tone.

Some people choose to use vitamin C at night, because they can work with other night's skin care products. It can also help increase collagen production and help the natural skin repair process.

If you are just using vitamin C or have sensitive skin, it is recommended to start with a lower dose and gradually increase the frequency of application. This allows your skin to adapt to vitamin C ingredients and minimize the risk of irritation.

Always read and follow the instructions available on the packaging of vitamin C products you use. Different products may have different concentrations and recommendations for use frequencies as well.

If you see signs of irritation or discomfort in the skin such as redness, itching, or excessive dryness, it is important to reduce the frequency of the app or stop the use of vitamin C. Each person's skin is unique, so adjust the routine of using the product based on your skin response.
