The face serum is a product that is still little used or rather little known. Those who use it regularly, those who don’t know when to apply it, whether before or after the tonic, whether before or after the cream, how it is spread or at what age to use it, is a treatment that generates a lot of confusion. In reality it is essential for the skincare routine , a real game changer which, depending on the type, helps to improve the appearance and tone of the skin . Here are 5 things you need to know about the serum! What is the face serum
The serum is a product that works together with the cream and enhances its effects and results. It acts in a complementary way, you can therefore choose to treat skin problems that are not treated with the cream or prefer instead a combination of different products for a shock action. It has a very light texture , often in gel or very fluid and is rapidly absorbed , without the need to massage it for a long time. The active ingredients contained within are in higher concentration , we can therefore say that the serum is a real booster . When to use it and what is the difference with the face cream
In order for the serum to be effective and not become a wasted product, precise steps must be followed. First of all we proceed with the cleansing of the face, thenyou move on to the tonic suitable for your skin type. This is where the serum comes into play , which is applied after the toner but before the face cream.
Compared to the face cream, the serum is lighter and acts more deeply . Furthermore, you can choose to apply a different serum from the face cream , in order to create a personalized treatment that acts on several fronts. For example, an oily skin can choose a purifying face cream and associate a moisturizing face serum , which does not weigh down but brings the right amount of water to the skin. Or you can combine it with a moisturizing serum, such as Action Hyalufill Serumof Mediterranea Cosmetics . It is practical to use because it is versatile, suitable for those who are not very familiar with this type of product, because it can be used both in the morning and in the evening. Enriched with hyaluronic acid, it also has an anti-aging action and at the same time helps to firm up the tissues , plump the skin and make it uniform . The face cream is applied as a next step and remains more on the surface, acting in synchrony with the serum which enhances its effects. How to apply the serum
Applying the serum is very simple, just take a small amountand is applied to the face. Usually the serums are contained in packs with pump dispenser, easy to dose, or in glass packs with dropper pipette, if the serum is in a fluid texture. It is gently massaged on the face or tapped , in the case of more liquid formulations, until completely absorbed , which is usually very rapid. At what age do you use the serum It is never too early to use the face serum, even if the very young can be satisfied with even a simple moisturizer or preventive cream. However, from 18/20 years of age, a light and moisturizing serum can be used , especially in cases of skin with imperfections. Instead it becomesessential over the years , preferring formulas and above all active with a proven anti-aging effect . The more you increase in age, therefore, the more it would be appropriate to use a serum, also diversifying it between that for the day , lighter and more protective, and that for the evening , which stimulates cell renewal and regenerates the skin. Serum, cream and fabric mask, how to use them
A separate chapter should be dedicated to the application of the serum when using fabric masks . In this case, in fact, after applying the tonic, you can choose to apply a fabric face mask, easy and quick to use. You may have noticed that inside the packagethe mask is soaked in a liquid which, in fact, is nothing but serum. Also in this case, choose one according to your needs, for example a mask with a moisturizing and anti-aging effect , such as the Anti-Age Moisturizing Face Mask from Mediterranea Cosmetics , with an immediate tightening and smoothing effect , also perfect as a pre- trick. Once the exposure time has passed, do not rinse the face , but massage the remaining serum on the skin, until completely absorbed. At this point we proceed with the cream step , skipping the serum step instead, because it is replaced by the one contained in the mask.
