These facial serums target your skin concerns like fine lines and wrinkles
Cleansers, toner, serums, moisturisers; let's face it, there are plenty of new beauty products in the market, and choosing the right one takes a bit of ploughing through the noise. A handful of beauty personalities even follow the 8-step skincare routine, which is, a bit much if you ask me. Furthermore, I've been working from home amid the pandemic, and the only things I've been slapping on my clean face are serum, moisturiser and sunscreen.
So what about serums, hey? It's the best thing I've been using for years! According to WebMD, serums are light, fast-absorbing liquids that contain no petrolatum or mineral oil that keep water from absorbing. Most serums are water-based and contain a high concentration of active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, peptides, skin brighteners that do the work.
Say you have dry skin, and work long hours in the office; you should opt for a serum that contains hyaluronic acid and vitamins as they contain hydrating elements.
For those with oily, clogged skin, look for serums with glycolic acid and retinol that encourage higher cell production turnover. New skin, hello!
Serums are meant to be applied after your cleanser and toner and before your moisturiser.
