How does a serum actually work?
A serum can deliver a high concentration of active ingredients directly into the cells. This is because it is a liquid made up of very small molecules that are able to penetrate the skin. Because the molecules are so small, the serum can reach places that other products can't, quickly and effectively. This makes serums a super efficient way of transforming your skin from the inside out.
When you address your skin concerns with a serum. you can ensure the ingredients your skin needs reach the right places to get to work repairing and replenishing your skin.
Other types of creams and lotions are always as effective, as they are thicker, and often form a barrier on the skin. That barrier is great for locking moisture in, when needed. However, it can also prevent some active ingredients from being able to make their way directly to the cells that need them.
When should I use a serum?
Ideally you can apply your serum twice each day (after cleansing and/or toning as normal). You can still moisturise your skin after applying your serum if you wish.
The order that you use these products in is important as the cleansing and toning help to remove grime or dirt. So that helps unblock pores to allow your serum to quickly enter the dermis and get to work.
If you choose to moisturise, then doing this afterward you apply your serum is also important. Moisturiser is a thicker consistency designed to lock moisture in by creating a barrier. So if you apply it before your serum, the active ingredients in the serum won't be able to reach the skin cells that need replenishment or repair.
Can serum be used as a moisturiser?
All serums in the BeautyPro range offer deeply hydrating formulas and will provide your skin with moisture, giving it a moisturising effect. So they can be used as a moisturiser. However, the BeautyPro experts recommend that for maximum hydration, you can apply a moisturiser after your serum. This helps to ensure that the powerful serum ingredients are locked in and water loss is prevented.
How much serum to use?
BeautyPro daily serums are highly concentrated formulas, packed with potent and powerful active ingredients. So the good news is that a little serum goes a long way. BeautyPro recommend 3 pumps of serum for those applied in the morning, and 2 pumps for serums applied in the evening.
How often can I use a vitamin C serum?
Because of it's protective qualities in shielding your skin from things like dirt, sun and pollution, BeautyPro recommend using a Vitamin C serum each morning. To ensure it works in the most effective way, it's best to allow the formula to fully absorb before heading outside.
