Yuzu Vitamin C Serum / Complexion Saving Antioxidant Concentrate

Purpose

Yuzu softens even the driest of skin, boosts collagen production, restores elasticity and cell turnover, and, according to Ayurvedic medicine, soothes the ‘vata doshas’ characterized by space, wind and air, which is why it has been traditionally used for dry skin conditions.

Skin Type

All skin types. Women and men, all ages. Hydrates thirsty Summer skin, moisturizes brittle Winter skin. Especially beneficial for very dry skin, where dryness is caused by element of environmental toxin exposure. Great for mature and dull skin.

Ritual

Use very little, a drop is ample. Mornings and evenings. Massage 1 or 2 drops max into still damp and warm skin every morning (and night if you wish), using your ring fingers starting from the eyes. Your ring fingers have the lightest touch of all your digits and won’t pull your skin. This is a subtly fragrant composition that easily absorbs into the skin. Blend a drop with your night cream for a Vitamin night-repair boost.

Size: 15 ml / 0.5 oz
