Your Guide to Face Serums: Why and How to use a serum
In today’s Gen Z and Millennial world where we have so many people giving us free advice and options for face serums and skincare, it gets confusing and frustrating to figure out what will work the best.
Guess what?! You have come to the right place where we disclose what and how to use a face serum and which is the best for you.
What is a Face Serum?
A face serum is a lightweight moisturizing skincare product. Known for their effectiveness, face serums are often used to manage specific skincare concerns, such as wrinkles, age spots, dull skin, dry skin, etc.
Serums are intended to penetrate deeply into the skin to deliver targeted active ingredients and increase hydration and moisturization of the face.
What Are the Benefits of using Face Serum?
Face serums offer many benefits to your skin, a few that stand out to us are:
- They absorb quickly
- They soothe and nourish sensitive skin
- They hydrate skin
- They prevent scars and blemishes
- They minimize breakouts and protect your skin from free radicals
- They reduce wrinkles for a younger-looking skin
- They boost collagen and are anti-inflammatory
These benefits are why we considered face serums essential to skincare routines.
How Do You Use Face Serums?
If you’re wondering how to add a face serum to your skincare routine, you’re not alone! Figuring out the right order for your skincare routine can be complicated (for the same reason that knowing which serum to use is – there’s a lot of confusing information on the topic!).
Your face serum should be applied after cleansing and toning the face properly. Gently apply a small amount of serum to your face and neck with either your fingertips or palms. Then, wait 5 minutes for your face serum to fully absorb into your skin.
If you’re in need of extra skin hydration, follow your serum with a non-clogging face moisturizer like our Shea Skin Therapy or Pure Shea Butter.
Which Face Serum is Right for Me?
The right face serum for you depends on your skin type and needs. Here are a few things to look for in a face serum based on common skin concerns:
