How to use serums the right way?

Serums

It's a common misconception that your skin needs different treatments at different times of the day. In fact, skin care is not one-size-fits-all and should be tailored to fit your specific needs. A face serum can be used to target specific concerns like wrinkles, loss of radiance, dehydration or the effects of pollution and other environmental stressors. Face serums are light water-based formulas that have highly concentrated active ingredients that are quickly absorbed by the skin.

Your skin has different needs at different times of the day and night.

Your skin has different needs at different times of the day and night. That's why we recommend applying your face serum in the morning and evening, when your skin is most receptive to hydration.

Your skin’s moisture level also changes with age and lifestyle. The older you get, the more likely it is that your complexion becomes dryer or oilier—so adjust your routine accordingly. If you're one of those people who spends a lot of time outside (like me), then don't forget to apply sunscreen during the day!

And while we're on the topic: Did you know that our body's immune system fights off infections faster when vitamin C levels are higher? Vitamin C helps boost our immune system by increasing defences against infection-causing bacteria, fungi and viruses—it can even help prevent cancer! So eat up those sweet peppers!

Serums can be used to target specific concerns like wrinkles, loss of radiance, dehydration, or the effects of pollution and other environmental stressors.

Serums are often used to target specific skin concerns. For example, if you have wrinkles or loss of radiance, a serum can help reduce that appearance. Serums can also be used to hydrate your skin and even protect it from environmental stressors such as pollution and UV light.

Make sure you're washing your face before applying a serum and apply it before your moisturizer when you follow a night time skin care routine.

As you start to add in more and more products, it can get confusing about when each product should be applied. Here are some tips for using serums:

  • Make sure you're washing your face before applying a serum, and apply it before your moisturizer when you follow a night time skin care routine.
  • Serums can go on either under or over lotion or cream depending on the texture of the product. If it's thicker than water or oil-based, use it below lotion/cream; if it's thinner than water or oil based (like an essence), use above lotion/cream.* Use toner first as a cleansing step before you apply any other products—it removes makeup and cleanses clogged pores that could otherwise cause breakouts.* Apply serums after toner but before essences because they contain active ingredients which are better absorbed without the other layers of product between them.

 

There's a myth that you need to use 7-9 serums in one routine to get the best results. This is not true! You can get great results with just one or two serums in your routine.

You don't need to use 7 or 9 serums at a time to get great results. In fact, you can get amazing results with just one or two serums in your routine.

Serums are intensely concentrated formulas that are quickly absorbed by the skin, meaning you can use them at night for an intensive dose of skincare goodness, or in the morning for an easy way to prep your face before makeup application.

Apply your serum on clean skin or after toner or essence (depending on your regimen) and before moisturizer, oil or sunscreen in the morning.

Serums are liquid formulations with a high concentration of active ingredients, so they can be used to target specific concerns like wrinkles, loss of radiance, dehydration, or the effects of pollution and other environmental stressors.

 Also use your serum before applying night cream when you follow a nighttime skin care routine. You can use more than one serum at a time.

You should also use your serum before applying night cream when you follow a nighttime skin care routine. You can use more than one serum at a time, but make sure that they aren't conflicting with each other's active ingredients.

For example, if you want to apply vitamin C in the morning and retinol at night, make sure to use them separately so they don't cancel out the effects of one another.

 

Serums should be applied after cleansing but before moisturizer.

Serums are applied after cleansing but before moisturizer. It is important to apply serums in this order because it ensures that the ingredients will be able to penetrate your skin.

Serums are great for targeting specific concerns like wrinkles, loss of radiance, dehydration or the effects of pollution and other environmental stressors.

What does Face Serum do for your face?

A face serum is a concentrated formula that provides your skin with the nutrients it needs to stay healthy. Face serums are a light, water-based formula that penetrates quickly and deeply into the skin. They're usually applied after cleansing, toning, and moisturizer because they work better when applied on top of other products.

Unlike traditional lotions and moisturizers which sit on top of your skin doing nothing to improve it down below (although they look great!) serums penetrate deep within layers of skin cells giving them exactly what they need to be healthy: vitamins A & C boost collagen production; hyaluronic acid boosts moisture retention so dryness goes away; peptides reduce fine lines and wrinkles while helping with elasticity.

How can you get the most of Face Serums?

With so many face serums on the market, it can be difficult to know which one is right for you. To ensure that you find a serum that performs best for your skin type, it's important to consider a few things.

  • First and foremost, make sure your serum has the right ingredients. For example: If you have sensitive skin, select an oil-free product; if your skin is oily, stay away from products with high concentrations of hydrating ingredients like moisturizers and oils; if wrinkles are a problem area for you (and let's be honest—what woman doesn't want to look younger than their age?), look for retinol or peptide-based serums meant specifically for wrinkles.*
  • Secondly, think about texture. If your skin tends toward dryness but isn't necessarily super-sensitive (i.e., not easily irritated), then opt for something lighter in texture like jojoba oil or aloe vera gel instead of coconut oil (which can be heavy and cause breakouts). Conversely, if it's oily but not too sensitive either—like mine!—then try using avocado oil as opposed to grape seed extract (which can clog pores). Just keep in mind that these are just guidelines: If a particular ingredient has been noted as working well for treating specific problems such as acne or dark spots without causing irritation along with being lightweight enough not mess up your makeup routine later in the day then go ahead and use it!
