What Is A Face Serum?

Face serums penetrate deep into your skin like a light moisturizer of sorts and tackle problems like acne, pigmentation, sun damage and wrinkles. These magic potions contain antioxidants, nutrients and vitamins that work to repair the structure of skin cells, increasing skin radiance and skin health! It hydrates your face but also addresses skin issues that you make have, which makes them super useful and extremely popular.

How to Use?

After washing your face with a cleanser, simply layer your skin with serum. A few drops of the right face serum are enough per use. If you're wondering how to use face serum with moisturizer, here's your answer. If your skin is dry, you can layer it with a moisturizer that will seal in the ingredients. Whereas if you have oilier skin, you can do without the moisturizer. This actually is the best part of using a serum, depending on your skin type you can layer products and make your skin care regime work for you!
