What's the point of using serum?

 

Serum



Their whole purpose is generally to keep everything lifted, firm, and elastic.  Think of them as the bones of your house - they hold everything up.  They can also have other bonus properties like brightening or clarifying.  But keeping fine lines and wrinkles at bay is their raison d'etre.  Lovely, no?  

What's the difference between serum and moisturizer?  

Serums are focused on said fine lines and elasticity while moisturizers are focused on hydrating skin.  They can absolutely dance into one another's worlds but their purposes are different.  

So do I need both??

It depends on how dry your skin is.  If you have oilier skin you might be fine with the amount of hydration your serum can provide.  If you have normal or dry skin you usually need a moisturizer on top.

                                Serum

On top - what's my skincare order here?  

Cleanser

Tonic (toner)

Serum

Moisturizer/Sunscreen

So serum goes first and then moisturizer?

Correct!

How many times a day am I doing this?

2 pumps or so morning and night

Do I put it on my eyes too?

Generally no - I am a fan of using proper eye cream/gel on your eyes and keeping serum to your face/neck/chest.  

Wait, I have to put this on my neck and chest too??

If you skip them your face will look lovely and your neck and chest will tell a different story.

Got it - at what age should I start using serum?

Honestly every woman I talked to wishes she had started earlier so I'd vote for mid 20's being a good time.  

Will I see an immediate difference?

If you're in your mid 20's then no because you don't need to yet!  Here's what I say - the earlier you start the better it will be for your skin.  Meaning, if you had a twin and one of you started serums at age 25 and the other started at age 40 the one who started earlier would probably have "better" skin.  It'll keep your skin looking plump and happy longer.  You can absolutely see a difference in your skin if you start at any age but the sooner you start the longer you're keeping your skin in "prevention" mode as opposed to "repair" mode.

How to Naturally Eliminate Spots From Face In 2 Days? || AuliLifestyle

The melanin pigment in your skin is intended to shield it from harmful UV light. Melanocytes (the cells that produce pigment) may produce excessive amounts of melanin as a result of factors such as prolonged sun exposure, hormonal imbalances, or irritations brought on by specific medications or products, among others. This results in areas that are perceived to be dark spots on the face. As previously mentioned, dark spots on the face may get worse if the skin produces too much melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. This disorder is characterized by hyperpigmentation. The following variables may contribute to hyperpigmentation: Sun exposure Aging Hormonal modifications in the course of being pregnant or during menopause Excessive or beside-the-point hair elimination techniques Acne Wounds Harsh skincare products Scarring is resulting from pores and skin sicknesses like psoriasis, eczema, etc. Dark spots, a frequent dermatological condition, are particula...
