Toning, cleansing, and moisturizing have been a significant part of our routines for ages, but there has been a lot of talk about adding another step: serums.
Packed with active ingredients, serums are a relatively recent addition to the skincare world and are designed to penetrate our skins in ways most regular moisturizers simply can’t.
Most people agree that these uber-products are indeed worth the investment as they boast a wide range of benefits; the catch, however, is that they’ll only work efficiently if you use them correctly.
Read on to learn everything you need to know about incorporating a serum into your routine.
As an evolutionary product, face serums contain potent ingredients that can be applied directly to the face to achieve optimal results. Since serums are curated carefully from smaller molecules, they have a high concentration of active ingredients, leading to higher penetration power.
Wondering how to use the potent potion? All you need to do is take a pea-sized amount of the serum on your palms and apply a thin layer of your choice (You must try the goodness of CBD Daily Soothing Triple Strength Serum!), and massaging it until its fully absorbed.
Let’s look at this step-by-step mini-tutorial to ensure you can reap the most benefits by getting it right each time!
You don’t want the active ingredients to stick to dead skin or dirt; hence, for optimal absorption, ensure that your face is properly washed before you begin to apply the CBD serum.
Experts suggest using tepid water as cold water can result in blocked pores, and hot water can sometimes make our skin sweat, which leads to inhibited absorption and limits the serums’ capabilities.
Studies reveal that moist skin is multiple times more permeable than dry skin. Its best practice to apply your CBD serum to damp or misty skin along with an alcohol-free face toner for deeper and quicker absorption.
You should begin pressing the serum into your skin with an open palm rather than the fingertips for optimal release of active ingredients.
Since serums are incredibly concentrated, you can get your money’s worth by using just a dollop or a few drops because, frankly, any more than that will just be a waste!
While some serums also have hydrating capabilities, serums, at the end of the day, aren’t moisturizers. They need moisturizing mates like night or day creams and lotions.
Let the serum fully absorb by waiting for a few minutes, and then use a moisturizer to lock in moisture. For this step, we love using CBD moisturizers infused with aromatherapy oils and carefully curated with organic ingredients to maximize holistic healing.
Beware: Ideally, if your serum is well-formulated, it should quickly get absorbed into your skin and disappear, but in case they leave oil or sticky residue, chances are your serum isn’t doing a good job.
While what looks presentable always sells more, don’t look for pretty colors while browsing for products. Our experience is that some of the best serums are dull-smelling and drab! Always look for a serum that’s packed with active organic ingredients that target restoration and rejuvenation. Research reveals that only do colors and artificial scents cause reactions and add nothing beneficial; they sometimes even hamper absorption.
If you do, however, love scented products, you should opt for natural, aromatic scented products, such as the Mintastic and lavender-infused CBD products available at Earthly Body.
