A solid skincare routine takes more than just the use of a cleanser and moisturiser. When it comes to fighting things like acne, wrinkles, dark spots, and more, you’re going to need something more potent. Want to look your best? Invest in a face serum that’s packed with active ingredients. Here’s what to look for…
The benefits of a face serum
Serums have higher doses of active ingredients that can effectively work on certain skin problems. Is anti-ageing a concern? Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid. Are dark spots a problem? Formulas with vitamin C are the gold standard. Looking to improve your skin texture? Try a serum with retinol. Serums are also lighter and thinner than most moisturisers, which allows them to absorb more quickly. Most facial serums come in a small bottle with a dropper. It’s easy to use – just spread a few drops over your skin and rub it in gently. You’d normally apply a serum after you wash your face, but before applying your moisturiser.
So, fellas, if you’ve been feeling like your face needs some extra attention, it might not be a bad idea to get your hands on a serum. You’d be surprised by how much of a difference you’ll see after just a few weeks. You won’t be disappointed by the selection of serums we have compiled for you. These skin saviours come highly recommended, plus they can be ordered online on edgars.co.za, but if you’d like to chat to a skincare consultant for extra skincare tips, they’re available in-store too.
