They say “Beauty is only skin deep,” and for that very reason you should take good care of your skin so that it exudes beauty from the inside out. No matter how many layers of cosmetics or filters you use, if your skin is unhealthy or poorly taken care of, it will never look its most magnificent. In recent times, facial serums have become quite popular, and for good reason—they provide the TLC that your skin has been yearning for.

What are Serums and how they help?

Now, if this is the question that comes to your mind, let us to help you by providing answers to all of your serum-related questions and a list of some of the best serums to bring out your skin’s natural beauty. 

To begin with, serums are made up of one or two active substances that have been concentrated to address a variety of needs, including those related to hydration, skin tone, elasticity, and the reduction of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, blemishes, and acne. The addition of a serum to your skin care regimen doesn’t imply that you’ll skip any procedures, such as moisturizing; rather, it only makes it more effective and gives you more focused results. Facial serums work best when applied after cleaning your skin since this enables them to penetrate deeply into the pores. Because facial serum ingredients are concentrated, they absorb more quickly than moisturizers.

Serum Dos:

1. It is best to perform a patch test on your skin before using any facial serums to prevent any skin sensitivity or reactions to any of the active ingredients.

2. Never allow the serum dropper touch your face since it could become contaminated and pick up bacteria.

3. Only a few drops should be applied to your freshly cleaned face and neck because a little goes a long way.

4. Use your fingertip to dab a few drops of the solution onto your skin and let it completely absorb.                                 

5. Always use it with a moisturizer to maximize the impact.                                                                          

6. Serum layering is not advised, so avoid using two or more serums together. Use them separately at different times of the day, preferably one in the morning and one at night, if you have multiple skin issues that need to be addressed.

Here is a list of some of the best and most potent serums for your skin.

Plump it up:

We are all aware that as we age, our skin loses moisture, and although while hyaluronic acid and collagen are naturally found in our skin, their production decreases. Our skin becomes less firm and more dull-looking as a result of a reduction in hyaluronic acid and collagen in our skin. However, serums with these two active components, as WB by Hemani’s Hyaluronic Face Serum with Collagen, can significantly reduce the signs of ageing. This results in skin that is more hydrated, firm, and plump-looking. Because it contains only natural active ingredients, it is excellent for all skin types and deeply nourishes the skin, which helps to reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and uneven texture.  

Bonus Tip:

Use a moisturizer along with your hyaluronic acid serums to lock in hydration.

Make Blemishes Vanish:

We all experience blemishes, dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone at some point in our lives. But thankfully, serums like WB by Hemani’s Anti-Blemish face serum exist to give us clear, bright skin without doing much. It is packed with organic active ingredients and extracts which precisely targets pigmented patches, dark spots, and blemishes. It is created by combining some key components such as antioxidant blueberry and peptides. After just a few applications, you’ll notice a change in the way your skin looks. Since it is so lightweight and quickly absorbed, it can be applied to any type of skin.

The Glow Show:

Vitamin C is a vital component that has become quite well-liked in serums, and for good reason! Who wouldn’t want their skin to seem healthy, beautiful, and radiant? Because of this, vitamin C serums are popular and widely used. Vitamin C, an antioxidant, offers properties that can help your skin tone look more even, and WB by Hemani’s Glow Boost Vitamin C serum is a true glow enhancer. This essential serum not only makes your skin appear brighter and smoother but also shields it from pollution and sun damage.

Forever Young:

Your skin needs to be hydrated in pretty much any weather. Skin’s hydration acts as an armour against all harm that can come to it. Also, the desire for younger-looking, brighter, and more dewy-looking skin has considerably increased, since Korean glass skin has become more of an “in-thing”. The rice in youth face serum from WB by Hemani acts as a one-and-done solution for all of these skin needs by giving your skin a replenishing dewiness and making it look smoother. With this lightweight solution that contains rice bran oil and skin-balancing natural extracts, you can look young at any age.

A Call For Retinol:

Retinol, an antioxidant that has been proven to increase collagen formation, can be very helpful in reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. So adding serums containing retinol as an active ingredient is a plus for mature skin. But when your skin needs retinol, it definitely needs a little more than that, which is why WB by Hemani’s Retinol Face Serum combines everything with a pro-strength formula for nighttime use. High-potency advanced retinoid, sunflower oil rich in vitamin E, niacin amide, and squalene are all combined in this serum to hydrate, protect, and enhance the texture of the skin. Regular use of the serum at night moisturizes and exfoliates the skin to effectively reduce wrinkles, acne, scars, and other imperfections. This quick absorbing, overnight face serum helps even out skin tone and diminishes the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles. This nighttime treatment exfoliates, renews, and stimulates collagen for bright, youthful, and even-toned skin.

Bonus Tip:

Retinol should never be used with serums containing vitamin C because the two counteract each other’s effects. Additionally, retinol should be given to your skin gradually by first using it on alternate nights and then increasing it to every night. Apply a pea-sized amount to your palm and gently massage your face, avoiding the lip and eye regions.

Now that you are aware of everything there is to know about serums, pick the ones that target your particular skin issues and make them your skin’s best friend.
