The serum: what it is and what it is used for

Face serum is usually a non-greasy fluid, which easily penetrates the skin and therefore should not be massaged excessively.

It represents an "important protective barrier for the skin and contains active ingredients in very high concentrations, so very little is needed, and must be chosen on the basis of the specificity of one's epidermis and the desired result.

While day cream and night cream take care of the nutrition and hydration aspects of the skin, we can say that the serum contains active ingredients that can further specialize this treatment, focusing on problems such as complexion, spots, radiance, wrinkles and various kinds of imperfections.

The serum: why use it

The serum is a very important cosmetic not only for its high concentration of active ingredients, but also because it enhances the effects of the cream subsequently applied (day or night).

It can be used at all ages, taking care to choose it based on your skin type (dry, normal, mixed and young or mature) and the result you want to achieve: detoxify, even out the skin tone, fight wrinkles .. .

The serum: how and when to apply it

The serum must be applied strictly before the cream (day in the morning and night in the evening), on a perfectly cleansed and dry face.

Very few drops are enough - some are already in single-use packs - to be spread with rapid circular movements from the center of the face to the outside, tapping lightly to make it penetrate better. Usually it is not necessary to massage it, this in order not to break the molecules contained. which thus act immediately upon contact with the skin.
