Applying vitamin C to your face and neck can reduce the signs of skin aging, improve tone and texture and protect against UV radiation.
However, the type of vitamin C (10% L-ascorbic acid concentration) and the way it's applied to your face and neck can make a huge difference in your results. Learn how to use vitamin C for your face and neck to prevent and reverse the signs of skin aging.

After washing and drying your face, don't just apply the vitamin C face cream or serum, massage it in a circular motion all over the face and neck to improve absorption and circulation and firm the skin and facial muscles.
The massage explained below is called the Circle Up Rub courtesy of Carolyn Facial Fitness.
It's designed to smooth the skin and firm the muscles of the face. It also helps eliminate fine lines on the jowls, cheeks. This facial movement (used in most of CFF Exercises) also helped firm up my cheekbones and nasolabial folds.
Trust me it works! And it feels wonderful. I do this massage twice a day morning and night about 5 times a week.

You can do the same for the neck too.
Repeat this same process on the other side using your left hand.
Other tips for apply vitamin C to the face and neck.
Try to exfoliate about 2-3 times a week. This allows the vitamin C to penetrate better and can help lighten age spots faster.
If you don't have a favorite exfoliating product, you can make a quick one using simple table sugar and a few drops of water. Mix the two until you have a paste like consistency and lightly massage all over your face and neck.
This time frame will vary from person to person and will also depend on how much skin damage you currently have and the potency and freshness of your vitamin C cream or serum.
In my case, I started to see results in after a few applications. My skin felt smoother and more hydrated. I use a 10% L-ascorbic acid that is mixed up fresh before each use, so it's pretty potent.
One of the nicest benefits to using this type of topical vitamin C is that it evens out the skin tone and improves texture. What I really noticed the most is that my whole face took on an even color and I need less makeup.
UPDATE: I apply this pure vitamin C serum to my neck every day. I didn't realize how well it worked to reduce brown spots (and firm the skin) until I found this old picture of my neck taken when I was about 53 yrs old. Notice those two brown spots are gone! Not to mention that deep line in the middle of my neck, which I attribute to weekly facial exercises.
My neck looks younger now than it did when I was in my early 50s!
