What are Serum products?

Serum products contain a high concentration of active ingredients, thus entering the skin faster than creams. Serums penetrate easier through the skin layers because they haven't been diluted with a moisturizer or other elements. These products shoot the skin with their components to treat different conditions, from dry skin to fine lines and deep wrinkles. This makes serums quick remedies to address particular cases like wrinkles and dark spots. However, serums are usually more expensive than creams. 

The best time to apply a serum is on a clean, dry face. The appropriate amount is a pea-sized portion for the whole look. There is no need to rub or massage a serum on the skin; it is tapped with fingertips. 
It is essential to make a small test, usually on the side of the neck for around 15 minutes, in case of people with sensitive or atopic skin who are willing to try serums for the first time. If an allergic reaction happens, a red rash will appear, and the skin will become itchy. This means that the skin can't tolerate the potency of serums.
To avoid damage, serums should be stored in a dry cold place.
A beauty tip says that sleeping over pillowcases made of satin is perfect after applying a night serum. Not only do they keep the serum on the skin throughout the night, but also they reduce the risk of developing acne and wrinkles.
When buying a serum, choose one with ingredients that best fit your skin and purpose of use. You must determine your skin needs and research the composition that will lead you to satisfy your skin goals. After that, you go and shop for your serum. Otherwise, you can consult an expert to guide you or even create a customized serum for you.
