What is face serum?

A face serum is a skincare product that is applied to the face after cleansing and before moisturizing. It is typically a lightweight, fast-absorbing liquid or gel that contains a high concentration of active ingredients such as antioxidants, vitamins, hyaluronic acid, and other beneficial components. These active ingredients are formulated to target specific skin concerns, such as fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and dehydrated skin. Serums are generally more concentrated than other skincare products and are designed to penetrate deeper into the skin to deliver the active ingredients to the lower layers of the skin. They can be used alone or in combination with other skincare products to enhance their effectiveness.

  • Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Increasing hydration levels in the skin
  • Brightening the overall complexion
  • Helping to reduce dark spots and hyperpigmentation
  • Strengthening the skin barrier
  • Delivering a high dose of antioxidants and other beneficial ingredients.

How to apply face serum?

The proper way to apply a face serum is as follows:

  1. Cleanse your face: Start by cleansing your face with a gentle cleanser to remove any dirt, oil, and makeup. This will help ensure that your skin is properly prepared to receive the active ingredients in the serum.

  2. Apply toner: After cleansing, apply a toner if you use it, to help balance the pH level of your skin.

  3. Apply the serum: Take a small amount of the serum (usually 2-3 drops) and apply it to your face using your fingers. Gently massage the serum into your skin, focusing on areas that need extra attention.

  4. Allow time for absorption: Allow the serum to absorb into your skin for a few minutes before moving on to the next step.

  5. Apply moisturizer: After the serum has been absorbed, follow up with a moisturizer to help lock in the active ingredients and hydrate the skin.

  6. Apply sunscreen: If you are going to be exposed to the sun, apply sunscreen to protect your skin from UV rays, especially if your serum contain active ingredients that can make your skin more sensitive to sun.

It's important to note that the ideal time to apply a serum is when the skin is still damp, after cleansing and toning, so that the active ingredients can be better absorbed by the skin. And also, it's recommended to apply your serum at night, as the skin's repair process is more active at night.
