Want to get the most out of your skincare routine without spending tons of time at facial centres or breaking your budget? Adding serums in your skincare routine makes all the difference.

Serum penetrates the skin to offer a concentrated dosage of antioxidants, vitamins, and active ingredients. It is lightweight and readily absorbed. As long as you know how to use and layer them, they’re the simplest method to boost your skincare routine by addressing hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, dehydration, acne, and blemishes.

Serums for Morning Use

Numerous gentle serums, such as moisturising hyaluronic acid serums, barrier-improving Niacinamide serums, or calming anti-redness serums, can be used morning and/or night without adverse effects. Others, however, are intended to be used at a specified time, such as before going outside or going to bed.

A Vitamin C serum ranks among the top products to use in the morning since it brightens skin, hydrates it, and increases collagen. This is due to the antioxidant content of vitamin C, which works to lessen the effects of free radical damage and the resulting indications of photoaging.

The Dear Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin C drops increases collagen and is good for addressing uneven skin tone, acne marks and hyperpigmentation.

Serums for Night-time Use

On the other hand, some stimulants work best when used in your nightly serum routine. These include salicylic acid, retinol, and AHAS like glycolic acid, which may enhance sun sensitivity (particularly in high concentrations).

Retinol helps the skin’s nighttime renewal activities, which is another reason why a retinol serum is best used at night. Retinol can improve healing by accelerating skin cell regeneration. 

In addition, skin loses more moisture while you sleep. In light of this, hyaluronic acid is also excellent for use at night, particularly if your skin is dry or dehydrated.

The Hydra Enriched Ampoule is good for plumping up skin, when used consistently it can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

How to layer serums with other skincare products

When layering serums or skincare products, think thinnest to thickest when layering serums and other skincare products. This entails using serums on clean skin before moisturising and using sunscreen and toner, if applicable. Apply the thinnest serum first, or the most significant serum if they have the same consistency, to ensure a clean pathway.

Depending on the serum’s composition and your personal preferences, you may want to moisturise after using it. You’ll probably benefit from utilising moisturiser if your serum doesn’t have any moisturising components. You might be able to forego the moisturiser, though, if it contains hydrators like glycerine and hyaluronic acid, especially if you have oily skin or are prone to acne. Moisturisers seal up all of the serum goodies!

The Dear Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Serum is good for irritated, dry and sensitive skin. It has a ton of botanical ingredients that deliver concentrated nutrients and antioxidant for healthier skin.

Serums and Moisturizers: Are both of them essential?

Serums and moisturisers are different in a variety of ways. First of all, facial serums perform a larger range of tasks than moisturisers, which simply create a physical barrier to lock in moisture despite the fact that they may include hydrating elements.

Because the molecules in liquid or gel-like serums are smaller, they have a thinner, lighter consistency and also permeate the skin more thoroughly. This, together with the fact that they contain a lot of one or more active chemicals, makes serums excellent at addressing particular skin issues.

Serums are something to think about in addition to taking care of your skin’s basic requirements first by cleaning, moisturising, and using sunscreen. And many skin specialists believe they are essential if you want to prevent or reverse signs of ageing.

How much face serum is enough?

When it comes to face serums, even a small amount goes a long way because serums are highly effective and have a high concentration of active components. For the cream to swiftly permeate your skin, you want to apply a thin, light layer on your face. A pea-sized amount of the face serum, or around 2 pumps, should be used as a general rule of thumb. Better yet, if your serum has a dropper included! You can manage how many drops of serum you use with a dropper and always add one or two more if necessary.

How to correctly apply face serum?

Serums are supposed to be applied to your face in little tapping strokes with your fingertips or your palms, as opposed to other skincare products like heavy face creams and moisturisers that you massage into your skin in an upward orientation. Avoid overly rubbing your skin; instead, let the serum absorb naturally.

Your skincare routine presumably already includes cleansing, toning, and moisturising. But now that you are more knowledgeable about using face serums, it is time to get the ideal serum for your skin type and begin your journey to having healthy, radiant skin.
