What is the right face serum?
A facial serum is a treatment concentrated in active ingredients, designed to target specific skin concerns: dehydration, wrinkles, or skin radiance.
The different types of serums
- Water-based serums: lightweight texture, rapid absorption, but action often limited to the superficial layers of the epidermis.
- Oil-based serums: high affinity with the lipid components of the epidermis, deeper penetration.
Choosing the right serum for your skin
The choice of serum depends on your skin type and your specific needs. If your skin lacks hydration, a hyaluronic acid-based serum is an excellent option. This compound, known for its ability to retain water in the deep layers of the skin, is the key ingredient in an effective serum for maintaining optimal hydration.
For mature skin or skin prone to wrinkles, there are anti-aging serums enriched with peptides and antioxidants.
How to apply it
Start by thoroughly cleansing your face, then apply the serum. Massage gently with circular motions, from the center of the face outward. You can then follow with your day cream to seal in moisture and protect the skin throughout the day.
