Facial serum is an essential treatment in a well-thought-out beauty routine. Highly concentrated in active ingredients and designed to act in depth, it meets specific needs such as hydration, protection or even prevention of signs of aging. But how do you know if you need a serum and how to integrate it into your ritual? Let's decipher together the essentials of this precious treatment.
What is a facial serum?
The serum is a treatment formulated with a high concentration of active ingredients, allowing it to target specific skin problems. Unlike a moisturizer, it has a fluid and light texture, ideal for deep penetration.
Its main mission? To support the overall health of the skin by providing targeted solutions, such as plumping up fine lines, evening out skin tone, or strengthening the skin barrier against external aggressions.
What are the benefits of a facial serum?
Serums offer a variety of benefits depending on the skin's needs and the active ingredients they contain. Here are some examples:
-
Deep Hydration : Serums containing hyaluronic acids, such as low and medium molecular weight ones, provide long-lasting hydration by penetrating the deepest layers of the skin.
-
Radiance Enhancement : Serums enriched with antioxidants like vitamin C boost natural luminosity and help smooth out uneven skin tone.
-
Anti-aging effect : Active ingredients such as peptides or botanical extracts help to strengthen the skin structure, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and preventing sagging.
-
Enhanced protection : Thanks to probiotic and antioxidant complexes, a serum can also protect the skin from the effects of pollution and free radicals.
How do you know if a serum is right for you?
It all depends on what goals you want to achieve with your skincare routine. Here are some scenarios where a serum can play a key role:
-
Your skin lacks hydration despite applying moisturizer.
-
You have specific concerns such as dark spots, fine lines or a dull complexion.
-
You live in an urban environment and want to protect your skin from external aggressions (pollution, oxidative stress).
A serum adapts to the needs of all skin types, provided you choose a formula that meets your expectations.
How to integrate a serum into your routine?
A serum is used after cleansing and applying an essence, but before your moisturizer. Here are the steps to get the most out of it:
-
Prepare your skin : Apply a gentle cleanser and, if you use an essence, apply it to optimize the penetration of the active ingredients.
-
A few drops are enough : Use 2 to 3 drops of serum for the face and neck. Warm them between your hands, then apply them by tapping or with upward movements.
-
Seal in hydration : Finish with a cream to protect the skin and prolong the benefits of the serum.
For best results, use your serum morning and evening.
