DISCOVER YOUR SPECIFIC FACE SERUM FROM OUR SELECTION
A trendy new face product, the face serum is making a lot of noise. Present in all cosmetic brands, it has become essential. But then, what is it really used for and what are its effects?
> What is a face serum ?
Lifting, moisturizing, nourishing, purifying, anti-wrinkle serum... there are an increasing number of them. But what is a face serum really and what are its benefits?
A face serum is a specific treatment. Packed with powerful active ingredients, it treats a specific or persistent skin problem. It provides the skin with a targeted action and works deeply on all layers of the epidermis. This ultra-concentrated treatment is a real boost in effectiveness for the products applied afterwards. It allows you to treat deeper and more persistent problems that a simple cream would not be able to solve.
The serum cannot be used alone or replace the application of a cream, it is used in addition to it.
A skin serum provides a solution to a specific problem:
- dehydration
- dryness
- wrinkles
- firmness
- redness
- excess sebum
> What texture should you expect?
Very different from a cream or an oil, a serum has a fluid and very light texture that penetrates almost instantly into the skin. Lighter than a cream but thicker than a toner, the serum is somewhere in between. Sometimes a little viscous, very fluid and often transparent or whitish in color, its texture is very pleasant and very easy to apply. Thanks to its fluidity, the penetration of this treatment into all layers of the epidermis is very fast.
Generally presented in a bottle with a dropper, a face serum can also come in the form of a breakable ampoule. These ampoules are ideal for use as a course of treatment.
> How and when to apply a skin serum ?
A face treatment serum treats a specific skin problem. For mature or young skin, it can be used at any age.
It is always applied to clean skin in the morning and / or evening. This application is followed by the usual products of the routine (cream or oil). Its very fluid texture penetrates quickly into the epidermis and works deeply on the skin's needs. In addition, a serum doubles the effects of the cream applied afterwards.
This product is applied in a small quantity to the entire face and neck.
A face serum can be used in several ways:
- As a course of treatment: during a change of season, during a current (non-permanent) skin condition or when a temporary discomfort occurs.
- Daily: morning and / or evening throughout the year to treat a recurring problem (anti-wrinkle, firmness...)
The ideal routine with the use of a serum:
- Remove makeup and cleanse the skin
- Dry the face and apply a lotion
- Take a few drops of the serum using the dropper
- Apply the product to the entire face and neck
- Finish the routine by applying a face cream
