1. Serum is much more concentrated than cream or lotion, so you tend to only need a small amount daily to see results. It will boost your skin with antioxidants, the skin's major defense against free radicals and stress, which are a must have when it comes to boosting collagen, the support structure that gives skin a firm, youthful appearance. For best results, apply to freshly washed skin, follow with sunscreen or moisturizers to lock in hydration.
2. Daily application of cream and lotions with ingredients that create a protective barrier on the surface of the skin to lock in moisture, but because skin cools itself by evaporating water, you only have a few minutes before that hydration is gone forever. Slather on a moisturizer while your face is still damp. This will plump and improve the appearance of fine lines as skin drinks up the moisture that will also leave your skin with a radiant glow.
3. By tailoring a serum and a moisturizer into your daily ritual with most common benefits include hydration, increased nourishment, brightening of the skin, and acne prevention. They also help in strengthening skin cells. While other face creams contain only 5 to 10 per cent of active ingredients, a face serum can contain up to 70 per cent! No wonder these potent products are able to deliver a much greater concentration of nutrients, deeper into the skin.
4.Frankly, most people’s skin is dehydrated, whether genetics, environment or weather is at fault. If your skin is dry, it lacks sufficient lipids (natural oils, fatty acids) and it lacks water. If you have dull-looking skin, it lacks water. If you have oily skin, you have lots of lipids, but you lack water to balance it (in fact, your skin’s producing more oil to make up for the lack of water). And if you’re using exfoliating ingredients you’re dehydrating your skin so it needs water. And drinking water can help, but only so much. Serum and moisturizer with hydrating ingredient will will hydrate and leave the skin with a beautiful glow. By “hydrating” ingredients I mean ingredients that hoard water. Our body makes one called Hyaluronic acid, a natural sugar molecule with a big claim: one Hyaluronic acid molecule holds 1000 times its weight in water. It attracts and binds moisture to the skin. One of the most beneficial ingredients in our skin care.
5. Why you should be obsessed with a serum in your daily regimen? Serum are most concentrated form of skincare in a bottle, serums are simply “active” ingredients in a small-molecule format the skin can easily absorb. They’re made without the extras, such as large-molecule ingredients that make up a cream and which form a barrier on the skin.
Apply serum on damp skin (this is how to make it damp) for maximum absorption skin absorbs water most easily; dampness acts as a carrier that pulls small-molecule ingredients into the top layer of skin as it is absorbed. Follow with face cream or lotion to create a barrier to keep your serum in. Your skin will be left with instant glow.
