If your mum is one of the many who enjoyed their youth basking in the Aussie sun, by now she might be noticing skin discolouration on her face, particularly across the cheeks and forehead.
Caused by UV rays and exacerbated by the ravages of time, many bemoan this change but not everyone knows how to tone down the hyperpigmentation.
An important part of the puzzle is vitamin C, which when applied topically (eating copious amounts of oranges won't cut it) can help reduce the appearance of dark spots and brighten the skin.
Arriving just in time for Mother's Day, here are three new vitamin C products that might be the perfect gift for your mum. There's more affordable and mid-range ideas, together with a pricier option if you think mum's skin can handle a high concentration of vitamin C.
This nifty gift pack (pictured) contains a liquid peel and sheet mask that both contain camu-camu berry extract which promises to give mum a healthy glow in 15 minutes.
Targets skin discolourations including age spots, hyperpigmentation and sun spots, while improving hydration and skin luminosity.
This lightweight serum-like option can be used in conjunction with other serums and moisturisers and can also be applied around the eye contour.
This powerful vitamin C serum is the ultimate complexion boost.
A true morning superhero (advise your mum to apply any vitamin C she receives before her SPF moisturiser when she's getting ready for the day), the potent formulation not only dials up brightness and evens out skin tone, but protects the complexion from environmental stressors, such as pollution and those UV rays.
