The Best Vitamin C Body Lotions for Smooth, Glowing Skin
From Nécessaire to Alo, these body lotion formulas help brighten things up
Your morning skincare routine probably includes a vitamin C serum. It's a foolproof addition to any routine because a good, gentle vitamin C serum (make sure it's low-concentration if you have sensitive skin) adds a natural glow to the skin, offers antioxidant support (i.e. buffers skin cells from damage), and fades dark spots and hyperpigmentation. You can extend these benefits to the skin below your chin—your neck, chest, arms, and legs—by upgrading your body lotion to one with vitamin C.
