Sounds easy enough and I'm a big lover of vitamin c based skin care!

Homemade Skin Care Recipe: Vitamin C Peel

submitted by Mark Jones, Brighton, UK
Tip description / details:
I have been getting brilliant results from a DIY vitamin C peel. The vitamin C helps stimulate collagen production and the acidity is low enough for a mild peeling action.
Ingredients:
1/8 tsp vitamin c powder (ascorbic acid), water. You must use pure vitamin C powder, which has not been mixed with any flavors.
How to prepare:
Dissolve the vitamin C in water
How to use:
Apply with a cotton wool pad. Leave on for ten minutes before washing off any applying normal moisturizer.
Results (observed by submitter):
Firmer, tighter skin from collagen synthesis. Bright, clear complexion from the acidity being low enough to act as a very mild peel.
Costs involved:
low

Hey ladies! I found this website that sells it and it's cheap!
Allergy Research Pure Vitamin C -- 120 grams - Vitacost

Also, I would think you could probably find it at any health food store or a store of that nature. Maybe GNC??
