This week we are talking about serums! A topic that you have chosen in your Instagram stories! How to use serums in spring? How to use them in our skincare routine? Here are our 3 useful tips!
What are serums?
Serum is a fundamental cosmetic even if we often do not give it the right importance. We can define it as a cream helper, not a substitute, because a serum is important to enhance the effects of our treatments or to act in a complementary way to them. They usually have a light texture to facilitate absorption and a higher concentration of active ingredients than normal face creams.
Spring routine and serums
Serums during the arrival of spring are much more operational than in other seasons. They have a fundamental mission: preserving the cutaneous comfort of our skin and including them in the spring beauty routine means offering an “added value” to our skin in preparation for the warm season and summer. The climate in spring changes and so do the needs of the skin. It is necessary to prepare it by strengthening its structure, so that it can withstand the multiple aggressions of the hot season. Furthermore, each serum must be chosen based on age because the needs of the skin are different.
3 Tips on How to Use Serums
1. Skincare in the morning : after cleansing and toning, it is recommended to use antioxidant serums that help neutralize the harmful effects of free radicals produced by ultraviolet rays responsible for aging. The effect is further enhanced if the serum is combined with a cream with a sunscreen. In this case, the serum brightens the skin, reduces facial blemishes and gives the face a younger appearance. We recommend the Teaology Skincare Hydrating Serum , suitable for all skin types, or for more mature skin, the new Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate Serum .
2. Evening skincare: during the night, the skin needs an exfoliating treatment that allows it to regenerate, improving its brightness and consistency. This way, cell renewal can be increased, pores are purified, and skin texture and tone are improved. For very sensitive skin, it is better to opt for serums with niacinamide or vitamin B3, which helps maintain hydration and increases the resistance of the skin barrier. We recommend the Advanced Night Repair Serum by Estee Lauder , or the Aha resurfacing sleep serum by Erno Laszlo .
3. Do physical activity outdoors and don't forget to apply cream.
Try to walk in nature and practice outdoor sports to give your body good oxygenation, a reactivation of circulation and the release of endorphins. To complete the process, always remember to combine the action of the serum with that of a face cream that completes the action of the serum and hydrates your skin.
