Last time I introduced you to Let’s Concentrate, the new gel serum, but what is a serum and why use one?
If you don’t already have a facial serum in your routine, then you really need one. Cleansing, toning and moisturising is great, but adding a serum to your routine will help to actively target any skin concerns you may have.
What is a serum?
Serums are lightweight formulas with highly active ingredients that have been specifically developed to reach the deeper layers of the skin and address skin concerns at the root of the problem. Serums work by communicating with baby cells in the lower levels of our skin. By the time these cells come to the surface of the skin (28 days later), they have been treated for longer.
Serums also contain much higher concentrations of ingredients than other skin care products so are incredibly results driven
Why should I use a serum?
Most of us suffer from skincare concerns at some point in our lives, whether that be fine lines and wrinkles, dullness, pigmentation…..the list goes on! Serums will actively target these skin concerns – and alongside a good skincare routine, they have the ability to help diminish and reduce the appearance of these concerns. BUT, we all know that prevention is better than cure and serums are also able to help protect your skin from developing skincare concerns, maintaining skin health and encouraging a natural glow. So it is recommended using a serum whether you have specific concerns or not.
When should I use a serum?
After cleansing and toning, smooth your chosen serum onto your face and allow it to sink in. Follow it with your eye cream and moisturiser to complete the routine.
All Temple Spa serums are safe to use morning and night, but if you have sensitive skin, I would recommend using Let’s Concentrate once a day only to begin with as due to the high concentrate of Vitamin C, it may take a little getting used to. Serums should be used daily as they work deep in the epidermis on new cells that are yet to make an appearance, so you won’t see the full effects for roughly four weeks when your natural cell turnover is complete.
