What am I doing with a serum?

What is the use of a serum?
It is a highly concentrated care with ultra fine texture that penetrates deeply to solve a specific problem of the skin. It is used daily or in cure to correct a punctual problem. It always applies before (under) the day cream that it also allows to personalize. Indeed, you can start using a serum without changing moisturizer.
Use a serum will boost the effect of face care which will be dragged with it deeper into the epidermis, but also to add an effect.
With a combination skin cream for example, you can use a serum Moisturizer if your skin lacks water but still produces too much sebum, to compensate.

The difference with a care
The cream could be compared to a garment for the skin while the serum would be the food. Indeed, a serum penetrates instantly thanks to its formula gel or very light emulsion designed to penetrate the heart of the skin thanks to agents (alcohol, ceramides, microcapsules, ...) which transport the assets in depth.
Rich in active ingredients but low in fat and consistency agents (waxes ...) it has no protective function, which is why it is necessary to apply a cream over it which, thicker, will provide a barrier effect on the surface. This is why serum is essential to meet a specific and visible need of the skin but is complementary to a cream.

When to use it
We use a serum either to compensate for a chronic problem of the skin or when the daily care is not enough any more or if the skin changes. It can therefore be used continuously to increase the effectiveness of its care anti wrinkle for example, or 1 to several times a year to support the skin at the change of season for example.
As a vitamin cure when you are tired, the skin sometimes needs to be stimulated to resist dehydration in the summer, or to compensate for a lack of radiance due to overwork. The serum is also ideal after a particular event, such as pregnancy.

How to choose?
Let yourself be guided by their names: "moisturizing", "nourishing", "shine", "anti-loosening", "lifting effect" ... there is something for all problems! Most women turn to serums to fight the signs of age but there is no age to start since everyone may need at any age a serum moisturizer if the skin is thirsty or a serum for radiance if the skin is dull. It's hard to know immediately if it will work for you, but test the texture and its scent: it will give you an idea.

The price myth
The serum to the reputation of being expensive because it is always the most expensive care of a range. But there are serums high performance at low prices, such as moisturizers for example, especially in parapharamacie brands.
Those are the anti wrinkle which are really the most expensive and can reach peaks, a price that is justified by their formula more concentrated than the cream of the same range. Note, however, that very little product just because of its ultra fluid texture which does not therefore the worst value for money over time.
