favourite serum: the body shop vitamin c skin boost

the body shop vitamin c serum skin boost $26 CAD*

first of all, it's less expensive than most serums ($26 CAD) and second, it actually works. 

the body shop's website claims that the product is great for creating a more radiant complexion with a smooth finish. i have to admit, i don't see a drastic/instant change in radiance or glow, but i do notice a small glow after using the product a couple of times a week. but the fact that this serum actually creates a smooth finish makes it one of my favourites. 

the constancy of the serum is similar to a gel, but is smoother, which makes it easy to apply and creates a matte finish. a small amount is all you need and i recommend using it only a few times a week underneath a night cream, unless you have very dry skin. my proof? i've had a pretty bad cold for the last week and so my nose has been red during the day, but using a small amount on my nose every night makes a big difference the very next morning!

recommendation: for dry or uneven skin - apply 2 or 3 times a week underneath a night cream. i guarantee that you'll see a difference pretty quickly. i say stop by the body shop near you for a sample pot and you'll soon be convinced and want to purchase a full size.


*note: i've been using this bottle for so long that when researching the product, i've noticed that the packaging has changed quite a bit...
