FAQ

If you use a face serum that’s well suited to the type of issue you want to address, a serum can have numerous benefits.

Absorbs quickly into your skin. Serums are lighter skincare formulations than moisturizers. The thinner viscosity allows the serum to be absorbed more easily into your skin. This makes a face serum an ideal first step in the layering process.

Soothes sensitive skin. Serums, with their light preparations, are often better for individuals with acne-prone or oily skin types.

Improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Face serums contain ingredients that may help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Protects your skin from free radicals and future damage. Serums with ingredients like vitamin C, vitamin E, ferulic acid, green tea, resveratrol, and astaxanthin help prevent oxidative damage from ultraviolet (UV) light and pollution, which can lead to premature skin aging and wrinkles.

Has the potential to provide more visible results. The higher concentration of active ingredients may provide more visible results, compared with other types of skin products.

Feels light on your skin. Because they absorb quickly into your skin, a face serum doesn’t feel heavy or greasy.

The best way to use a face serum is as a base layer under your heavier products like moisturizer, sunscreen, and makeup.

“While younger skin generally doesn’t need much more than a gentle cleanser and daily broad-spectrum sunscreen, it’s helpful to get into a healthy, preventative skincare regimen.”

“Doing so may help prevent discoloration, oxidative damage, dehydration, and premature skin aging and wrinkles”.

You can use a face serum once or twice a day after cleansing and toning your skin. Think of it as the step after you clean.

How often do you apply a serum to your skin…

Anti-pigmentation and antioxidant serums work best when applied in the morning. This helps protect your skin against environmental assaults and free radical production produced by light, including UV and high-energy visible light.
Anti-aging serums are often best suited for nighttime applications. This allows the ingredients to work with your body’s circadian rhythm for skin repair and turnover.

Hydrating serums for drier skin can be applied twice daily to help keep your skin dewy and moisturized.

Apply skincare products from thinnest to thickest. Most serums work best when applied as the first layer, in direct contact with clean skin after you’ve used a cleanser.

If the active ingredient is too irritating or drying, you can apply it over another product to create a buffering effect.

Not to be confused with hair oil, hair serum is a silicone-based styling product designed to coat the hair’s surface to help impart added shine, smoothness, hydration, humidity, and pollution protection.

One of the greatest benefits of using a hair serum is its ability to block out humidity and create a sleek, polished finish. Simply put, there’s no better product to use when you’re trying to create that perfect glass hair look.

Simply rub a small amount of serum through the palm of your hands. Then, using two fingers, gently apply it to the strands using a pressing motion anywhere you want a smoother hair texture.

Unlike hair oils, hair serums tend to be a little thicker inconsistency, which can make working them into your hair a bit more difficult for some.

Our tip? Don’t try applying your hair serum as soon as you dispense it. Instead, try warming up the product between your hands for a few seconds so that it has the chance to break down and liquefy a bit, giving you a little more slip. This not only helps your serum perform better but also ensures a more seamless, even application.

If you take one thing away from this post, let it be this: There is such a thing as using too much hair serum.

Whether your hair is long or short, thin or thick, there’s a fine line between looking perfectly polished and flat and greasy. That’s why it’s important to start with a small amount of serum and then gradually work in more only as needed.

Dandruff can be caused by various reasons; dry scalp, eczema, or even psoriasis. A flaky scalp is the result of dandruff flakes that are actually dead skin cells. They fall off the scalp naturally and more so if you scratch.
