Is Serum Necessary for Skin Care?

There are so many skincare products and advice forums out there today that are hard to decide what is the best routine for your skin. Everyone’s skin is different and a routine that works for someone else may not work for you. One product that everyone’s skin needs is some form of serum.

These days it’s all about skincare products that help you age gracefully. Our bathroom cupboards are filled with essentials such as sunscreen and eye creams. Serum should be added to this list of essentials. Adopting a facial serum can seem intimidating at first as most of them come with a hefty price tag, but the list of benefits is endless. From clearing blemishes to smoothing out wrinkles and clearing blemishes. Here at DW Aesthetics, we have a range of serums at an affordable price.

What is a Face Serum? 

Serums are smooth thin oils that are made to deliver a concentrated amount of active ingredients and lock in moisture. Oil-based serums enable the ingredients to penetrate the surface of the skin. This helps the ingredients to be effective whilst still protecting your skin from daily life. Most people believe that they don’t need to add a serum into their skincare routine as well as their moisturiser. However, the benefits of a face serum are slightly different to those of a moisturiser. Both products should have a valuable place in your skincare routine.  If your face serum is oil-based then we advise using your serum last to lock in all of the wonderful effects of your other cleansing and nourishing products.

Face Serum Benefits 

• Absorbs Quickly Into Your skin
  Due to the light formulation of serums the thinner viscosity allows the serum to be absorbed easily by your skin. This makes a face serum a perfect first step in your skincare layering process. 

• Feels Light on Your Skin
  Again due to the formulation of the product, your skin is able to absorb it quickly. This means that you won’t be left with that greasy congested feeling on your face. 

• Soothers Sensitive Skin
  Serums, with their light preparations, are often better for individuals with acne-prone or oily skin types. 

• Provides Visible Results
  The higher concentration of active ingredients is more prone to show visible results compared with less concentrated skincare products.
  
  
• Protects Your Skin
  Face serums protect your skin from future damage and free radicals. Serums with ingredients such as vitamin c and vitamin E help prevent oxidative damage from pollution and UV light.
