Applying a face serum properly can have a big impact on the results

Using a face serum correctly can greatly increase its efficiency, even if it might seem like a simple step in your skincare routine.

 What Is A Face Serum?

A face serum is a lightweight skincare product packed with a high concentration of active ingredients. They are concentrated with powerful ingredients designed to penetrate deeper layers of your skin.

Consider it a face remedy with extra power!

Below is a summary of its main properties

• Lightweight - Unlike moisturizers, serums have a thinner texture that absorbs quickly into your skin.
• Powerful ingredients - Serums are filled with ingredients like vitamins, antioxidants, or acids to target specific skin concerns like wrinkles, acne, or dryness.
• Deeper penetration - Unlike moisturizers, serums have a thinner consistency that allows them to reach deeper skin layers and distribute active ingredients to the exact areas of your skin where they can do their magic.

The Importance Of Applying Face Serum Correctly

However, if you do not use a face serum properly, the product may irritate your skin or fail to reach the intended areas.

You can make sure your skin gets the maximum benefits of the face serum by keeping in mind a few easy tips, such as washing your face before using the serum and pressing it on softly rather than rubbing it on.

This will maximize the serum's ability to give you smoother, brighter, or clearer skin, depending on why you use it.

How To Apply Your Face Serum  

This is a complete guide on using face serums to get the most out of them

1. Start with cleansed skin
• Use a mild cleanser that is suitable to your skin type to start. 
• This ensures that your skincare products have a clean surface by getting rid of any dirt, oil, and impurities.
2. Use a toniner (optional) 
• If toning is a part of your skincare routine, use it after cleansing but before serum application. 
• Toners can help balance your skin's pH levels and prepare it to better absorb the serum.
3. Dispense the serum
• Dispense a tiny bit of the serum to your fingertips. 
• Keep in mind that because serums are so concentrated, all you need to cover your entire face with is a pea-sized amount.   
4. Warm the serum
• Gently warm the serum by rubbing your fingertips together. 
• This helps even distribution of the serum throughout your skin and promotes its spreadability.
5. Apply to your face
• Using upward and outward motions, gently massage the serum into your skin. 
  
• Working your way outward from the center of your face, concentrate on the areas where you wish to address particular issues, like wrinkles, dark spots, acne, or fine lines.
• Avoid tugging or pulling on your skin as this can cause sagging and early aging. Instead, to help the serum absorb completely into your skin, gently press and glide over it. 
• Do this step slowly, letting the serum get absorbed into your skin while massaging gently.    
6. Apply to neck and décolletage
• Don't forget to apply the serum to your décolletage as well as your neck.
• The nourishing ingredients in the serum can also help these areas, which are frequently ignored.
7. Allow absorption into your skin 
• Before you proceed to the next step of your skincare routine, give the serum some time to completely absorb into your skin. 
• This makes it possible for the active components to fully penetrate the skin and do their magic.
8. Apply moisturizer after absorption
• To seal in the serum and add extra hydration, apply your preferred moisturizer after the serum has been absorbed. 
• This helps to create a protective barrier on the skin and lock in moisture.
9. Apply sunscreen (daytime)
• To shield your skin from damaging UV rays, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen after your morning serum application. 
• Sunscreen is essential because certain serums with active ingredients like retinol or vitamin C can make your skin more sensitive to the sun.

You can get the best results for your skin by following these steps, which will guarantee that your face serum is applied properly and blends effortlessly with your face care routine.
