The Truth about Serums

It is so good to hear from you. I have received so many questions about skincare and the one that really stands out is the topic around SERUMS. Firstly, a skin serun is not a moisturiser like a lotion or cream. It is a rather intense activated formula that is designed to target certain concerns on your skin. This could be concerns about dark spots, pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, aging or sun spots. A SERUM would normally come in a small bottle with a dropper so this means that a very little is needed for your face and neck. The SERUM always goes under your night cream after you have cleansed and toned the skin.

Some SERUMS have just one ingredient but a SERUM with a combination of VitaminC, E and retinol can help prevent brown spots on the skin and can help reverse damage caused fby ultraviolet rays. This in turn will help stimulate growth of new collagen. SERUMS with retinol reduces inflammation and if you are concerned about dark patches then a SERUM with glycolic acid can help lighthen and brighten the skin. Other good SERUMS are those that contain hyaluronic acid or those with stem cells. Not all SERUMS work the same way so chose a SERUM to help with your concerns. SERUMS can be really expensive and then there are those less expensive ones BUT the most important thing to remember is the active ingredients found in the SERUM.

Always test a a small patch on your skin. Remember SERUMS have intense active ingredients and sometimes not suitable for sensitive skins. Never just buy a SERUM, ask questions, seek advice from a professional dermatologist before investing in a SERUM. Target your main skin concerns, choose wisely.

I’m really looking forward to my next radio insert. Keep those questions coming in. Till next next. Live healthy XOXO
