How To Find The Right Serum For Your Skin

Last month I helped you with your #skingoals and hope you were able to choose the perfect 3 piece value kit for your skin type. Now we can tackle some of your skin concerns. As it turns out, serums will do just that! 

But which serum is right for you? If you are like most, you are likely confused by the array of products out there. In this article, I am going to educate you on some powerful serums and the benefit of adding this extra step to your skincare routine, all while helping you choose the right ones for all of your concerns.

What is a Serum?

But first, what is a serum? Serums are skincare products you can apply to your skin after cleansing but before moisturizing with the intent of delivering powerful ingredients directly into the skin. 

Serums are designed for the task, because they are made up of smaller molecules that can penetrate deeply into the skin and deliver a very high concentration of specific active ingredients. This makes them a great tool for targeting specific skincare concerns.

How Do You Use Serums?

To get the most out of your serums you should apply them in the morning and evening after cleansing and toning, but before applying any other moisturizers. If you have multiple skin serums you are wanting to use, I recommend applying the thinnest texture first moving up to thicker textures. You also want to wait for each one to dry before moving onto the next, so they all have the opportunity to penetrate the skin.

If you plan on using multiple serums, consider splitting your serums up and apply a few as a part of your morning routine, and other serums as part of your evening routine. Just keep in mind that the more consistent you are with applying them, the better your results will be.

Review: “I started using this 9 days ago. I apply a small amount about 2 or 3 times a day. I took a picture on day one, and another picture today. Comparing them side by side, I can definitely see a subtle difference. I have several age spots, and sun damage on my face. The large age spots are beginning to fade slightly, and the sun damage spots are getting smaller, and are also fading. I will continue to to take pictures weekly to compare, but I am amazed at the difference already. I’m anxious to see the how much my skin improves after a month or so.” -Barb P.
