How to Use Face Serum for Skin Brightening: Transform your skin

by Guru Tatineni Beauty Consultant

Face serums are the best when it comes to treating specific skin problems! These are abundant in potent active ingredients such as retinol, vitamin C, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, etc. Each ingredient is intended to address particular skin problems–such as fine lines, acne, wrinkles, or dark spots. We have a list of our absolutely preferred formulations right here if you are looking for targeted results.

After cleansing your face properly, you can use Skin brightening serum. The sole purpose of applying face serum is to deliver strong ingredients to the skin directly. The best facial serum produce very high amounts of active ingredients by penetrating deeply into the skin and especially suitable for this task as it consists of smaller molecules.

What Is A Beauty Serum?

Skin care products known as serums are typically available in small bottles or tubes and contain high price tags. This can prevent consumers from taking a second look, but it can be an error, because serums offer many advantages. Spas have been the exclusive users of these treatments for years, making the products well-kept secrets. High levels of ingredients produced in small molecules are found in serums.

Serum for combination skin is similar in quality to hydrating agents and is used for the treatment of redness, dryness and thin skin lines. These molecules are smaller, so that serums are absorbed more easily and deeper into the skin, which makes them more powerful than moisturizer. The effect is drastic and far longer than the effects of a traditional moisturizer. Skin is nourished and enhanced, and the high concentration of beneficial ingredients gives a boost to its performance.

How A Facial Serum Feel Like?

As the popularity of serum for combination skin increases, many products, which are not traditional serums, are marketed as serums to capitalize on the trend. With that in mind, in the look and feel of these products you may find some variation.

Many facial oils available these days are marketed as serums. In compared to face oils natural serums are full of pure water and lighter in texture.

Real water-based Serum for combination skin is almost weightless, leaving no residue as would an oil or a moisturizer. Many serums may feel like water due to their lightweight nature. Facial serums which are slightly heavier, feel like gel, too.

Face Serum Vs Face Lotion

Skin brightening serum differs from normal facial lotions and creams, because they contain smaller molecules. These can penetrate the skin faster and deeper than standard moisturizers, making them more effective. Moreover, the level of active ingredients in serum can reach as high as 70% compared to traditional moisturizers with concentrations of around 5 to 10%.

When do I need to use a serum?

You can try to add a Skin brightening serum to your daily facial routine if you follow a specific skin treatment routine but feel as if your skin is still missing an important piece of the puzzle. Serums are basically the equivalent of a morning smoothie or green tea with a vitamin-packed addition. You give your body an enormous boost of strength and improve your overall performance. A serum works in the same manner. It increases the performance and quality of other products, improves the look and feel of your skin and eases the absorption of additional products.

How to apply face serum correctly?

Though face serums can be applied like any other topical product, their advantages are more pronounced if the following tips are taken into account.

· Clean and tone your face first

For many purposes, the skin where a face serum is being applied should first be thoroughly cleaned. The accumulation of dirt, dust, and contaminants from cosmetics and the atmosphere will not interfere with the absorption of the active ingredients of the serum with a clean skin. Therefore, it will only be combined with these chemicals and thus the potential for acne, dark skin and uneven tone will be increased.

You should use lukewarm or tepid water to wet and rinse your skin when cleaning your face, because it opens the pores of the skin better than cold water. You also need a gentle face purifier, as the latter can contain harsh chemicals, rather than regular soap. You must use gentle yet firm circular repetitions to massage the cleanser into your skin and remove the contaminants from it; do that for 5 minutes.

You should keep it moist after having your face rinsed. You may pat it with a wet, moist towel to keep pores open and lock the moisture. An alcohol-free toner may be applied to your now-clean skin, if applied like this, and then the toner may also be sprayed gently.

· Apply the cleansed skin with a pea size marker

Due to the high concentration of active components, only a small amount of face serum should be applied to your skin. You will not get better results in a shorter amount of time if you add too much, because only the skin will absorb so many nutrients. You'll probably also wiping out the excess, meaning a waste of money.

You have to use clean fingers and use light but strong repetitive motions when applying the serum. You shouldn't rub, pull and rub your skin because these motions just speed up sagging of the skin.

· Stay until other skincare items have been added

After the Skin brightening serum is added, you have to wait 5 minutes to absorb it into your skin. You may subsequently add to your face other skincare product such as the moisturizer and eye cream.

There's another question we normally get: "How to use a moisturizer with face serum?"First, avoid mixing the two skin care products together in a single dollop even if it means saving on the serum cost. Otherwise, serum effectiveness may be adversely affected.

Second, as described above, ensure the serum has dried on the skin before applying the moisturizer. Think about it this way: The serum brings the nutrients into the skin's deeper layers while the moisturizer locks them in and provides the moisture.
