Serums provide many concentrated nutrients directly to the skin. To use, apply a few drops of serum after washing your face but before applying moisturizer. The serum penetrates deep into the skin instead of just staying on the surface like a moisturizer. The serum well treats a number of skin problems such as acne, dry skin, dull skin and wrinkles. After washing your face, apply a pea-sized amount of serum to your cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin. For best results, use a nourishing serum at night and during the day.
Steps
Part 1 of 2: Choose a serum
Try a serum with glycolic acid (glycolic acid) and aloe if you want a multi-purpose product. If you have “normal” skin or just want to choose an effective skin serum, try a serum with one of these two ingredients. Aloe vera reduces redness and hydrates the skin. Glycolic acid removes dead skin cells to prevent pores from clogging. Hydration is the key factor for beautiful skin!
- This is a great option if you do not have any skin problems but still want to take care of your skin with nutrients. In addition, this option also helps fade sun damage and acne scars.
- In addition, look for a serum with rose hip oil to reduce redness and moisturize your skin.
Use a serum with vitamin C, retinol, salicylic acid (salicylic acid) or benzoyl peroxide to treat acne. Vitamin C helps restore the skin, while retinol and benzoyl peroxide are effective ingredients to prevent acne. Salicylic acid helps heal existing acne on the skin. This combination is effective in reducing inflammation or redness, controlling oil intake and treating or preventing acne.- Besides, serums with these ingredients also help unclog pores.
- Salicylic acid can cause sunburn in the skin; Therefore, it is best to use this serum at night.
Apply the serum with glycolic and hyaluronic acid (glycolic and hyaluronic acids) if your skin is dry. Both glycolic acid and hyaluronic acid help hydrate the skin. This combination creates an effective moisturizing serum suitable for dry skin. The serum won't leave the skin feeling heavy like a lotion and will deeply hydrate the skin in seconds.- You can also use vitamin E, rose hip oil, chia seed oil, sea buckthorn oil, and camellia oil to hydrate your skin without clogging your pores.
Choose a serum with retinol and peptides to reduce wrinkles. Retinol helps tighten fine lines and wrinkles, and peptides help keep skin healthy. Combining these two ingredients, you will have a wrinkle reduction serum for radiant skin. For best results, apply serum at night so your skin can absorb the nutrients while you sleep, which is very effective at dealing with wrinkles.- You can also use serums with antioxidants including vitamin C and green tea essences. These ingredients help protect the skin as well as repel wrinkles.
Try a serum with vitamin C and ferulic acid (ferulic acid) to lighten your skin tone. Your skin tone may be uneven or dark due to sun exposure, secondhand smoke, genetics, and lack of sleep. Vitamin C and ferulic acid are both powerful antioxidants that help restore the skin. These ingredients neutralize free radicals on the skin, leaving the skin even more even and radiant.
- In addition, many skin lightening serums contain green tea extract, which is an effective antioxidant.
- Some skin lightening serums that incorporate snail juice are popular for their ability to fade scars and correct discoloration or uneven skin tone.
Treat uneven skin color with licorice extract and kojic acid (kojic acid). Licorice extract helps to eliminate discoloration and aging. Kojic acid heals scars, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. After just a few weeks, your skin will look even and full of vitality if it is nourished with a serum rich in these ingredients.
- You should also choose a serum containing vitamin C for a brightening effect.
- In addition, serum with arbutin also helps to tone skin. Arbutin is used extensively in preventing the appearance of brown spots on the skin and effective in skin lightening.
- When choosing a serum with vitamin C, choose one that contains L-ascorbic acid - the most effective part of this vitamin. This is a useful product to restore uneven skin tone.
Use a serum to condition the skin under the eyes to reduce the appearance of dark circles. Some serums are specially formulated to care for the skin under the eyes. If you want to reduce dark circles under your eyes, you should choose this serum because it contains many ingredients such as licorice essence or arbutin. Please apply the product directly to the skin under the eyes.
- You can use this product in addition to the day and night serum.
- Avoid applying under-eye serum to other areas of your face. The ingredients in this serum usually penetrate well under the eyes, but can cause irritation or acne in other areas.
Choose to use a serum day and night for best results. The Day Serum has a lower concentration so you don't have to worry about sun exposure. Night serums are usually very concentrated and the ingredients only work while you sleep. Use both to keep skin healthy and flawless.
- Initially, you should only use a little serum to give your skin time to adjust to the new product. Start by applying a nourishing serum every other day and after a few weeks switch to nightly. The next step is to apply a day serum daily.
- Use an antioxidant serum in the morning to keep skin protected. Apply a retinol night serum to keep your skin looking youthful.
Part 2 of 2: Apply the serum
Wash your face and exfoliate dead skin cells before applying serum. Before applying the serum, you need to clean your skin with a facial cleanser or exfoliant. Wet your face, then massage the cleanser onto forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. Move fingers in small circular motions, then rinse the cleanser. Cleansing helps remove tiny dirt and oil, while exfoliating dead skin cells deep cleans pores.
- For best results, wash your face daily and exfoliate your dead skin cells 3-4 times per week. Don't use chemical and mechanical exfoliants like glycolic acid on the same day.
Apply one drop of the serum to each area of your skin if you are using a thin serum. The amount of serum you use will vary depending on the concentration of the ingredient. When using dilute resum, take only a small amount - about 1 drop on your finger and then apply it on your cheeks. Repeat on the other cheeks, then forehead and nose / chin. Gently apply the serum in an upward direction.
Heat 3-5 drops of concentrated serum by rubbing your palms before applying to your face. Concentrated serums need to be heated before applying. To do this, place a few drops of the serum on your palms, then rub the palms together. This will also help the serum stick evenly to the palms of the hands. Next, you perform a gentle pressure to get the serum to stick to the skin, including the cheeks, forehead, nose and chin.
- When applying a serum, you need to allow the product to penetrate the skin with a gentle flicking motion.
Pat skin for 30-60 seconds until seurm penetrates. After applying the serum to your skin, place your fingers on your cheeks and press gently against the skin in small circular motions. Repeat this action on the entire face for about a minute.
- This way, the serum will penetrate deeply into the skin.
Wait a minute before applying moisturizer to your skin. The serum will usually dissolve into the skin after about a minute. Right away, take a small coin moisturizer and massage it on your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin.
- Moisturizers help retain the serum's nourishment, leaving skin looking vibrant and radiant in no time.
- If you do this in the morning, you can apply makeup after applying moisturizer. Just wait for the moisturizer to dry after a minute to start your makeup steps.
Advice
- If you use the serum daily, you should see results in about 7 to 14 days.
Warning
- Avoid using the serum at night during the day as your skin can become dry, blemish, and sunburned.
- Avoid using too much serum. In most cases, you don't need to use a pea-sized amount of serum to apply to your entire face. Excess serum will not penetrate into the skin but cause acne and irritation.
