In the universe of skincare, there's one standout product that excels in targeting specific issues with remarkable efficiency: the serum. But what exactly is a serum, how can it transform your beauty routine and most of all how to use it right ? Here is a guide to learn everything about serums and how to effectively integrate them into your skincare ritual.
A skin serum is a potent concentration of active ingredients designed to penetrate deeply into the epidermis. Thanks to its light texture, which can be watery or oily, and its low molecular weight, the serum easily moves through skin layers to deliver quick and visible action. Serums are formulated to meet specific needs: intense hydration, reduction of fine lines, brightening of dark spots, regulation of sebum production, and much more. Each drop is a promise of targeted benefits, providing the skin with exactly what it needs. See our article : What is a skin serum and How to use it ?
Why incorporate a serum into your skincare routine?
A serum does not replace skincare creams but works synergistically with them. Applying a serum before your moisturizer allows powerful actives to be delivered directly to your skin, creating a foundation that maximizes the effectiveness of subsequent products. It's a true beauty booster, preparing the skin to receive and make the most out of complementary products.
At Beau Domaine, we've envisioned the ideal routine in 3 simple and effective steps. Each product complements the others with its efficiency: The Skincare Serum revitalizes, The Cream deeply hydrates, and The Emulsion gently cleanses.
-Prepare your skin: Start by cleansing your face and applying a toner. Clean skin allows for better absorption of actives.
-Choose the right serum: Depending on your specific needs (hydration, anti-aging, brightness, etc.), select a serum that targets your concerns. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid for hydration, salicylic acid for blemishes, or vitamin C for brightness can be good starting points.
-Apply sparingly: Given the concentrated and highly efficacious nature of facial serums, a minimal quantity is key to achieving the best results. For most serums, especially those with a fluid and lightweight texture designed for rapid absorption, two drops are usually sufficient to cover the entire face and neck area.Dispense the serum onto your fingertips and gently rub them together to slightly warm the serum, enhancing its penetration into the skin. Then, apply the serum to your face and neck with a soft, tapping motion. This technique helps stimulate circulation and ensures the serum is evenly distributed.
-Apply before your moisturizer: Serum should be applied to clean skin and before any creams, to lock in its benefits.
-Massage and pat: Gently massage the serum into your face in upward motions, then finish by lightly patting to stimulate microcirculation and promote absorption.
Although a serum can offer a higher concentration of actives, it doesn't replace a moisturizer that provides hydration and protection from external aggressions. Ideally, serum and cream should be used together for a complete and effective skincare routine ! For more about “Serum or cream : which one is better ?” you can refer to this article.
The serum is a valuable ally in the quest for healthy and glowing skin. By choosing and using your serum correctly, you can address specific issues and significantly improve the appearance and health of your skin. Incorporate it into your daily skincare routine to unlock its transformative power.
