To apply face serum correctly and maximize its benefits, follow these steps:
- Cleanse Your Face
Begin with a clean face by using a facial cleanser suitable for your skin type. This removes dirt, oil, and makeup, allowing the serum to penetrate effectively
- Apply Toner (Optional but Recommended)
After cleansing, apply a toner or face mist to slightly dampen your skin. Damp skin helps the serum absorb better
- Use the Right Amount
Dispense about 2–4 drops (roughly a pea-sized amount) of serum onto your palms. Avoid using too much product to prevent wastage and ensure proper absorption
- Apply the Serum
Spread the serum lightly between your palms, then gently dab or pat it all over your face and neck using your fingertips. Avoid rubbing; instead, use small tapping motions. You can also massage in upward circular motions to help absorption and stimulate circulation
- Allow Absorption Time
Wait a couple of minutes for the serum to fully absorb into your skin before applying other products
- Follow with Moisturizer
Apply your moisturizer after the serum. Since serums are thinner, they should be applied before thicker products like moisturizers to ensure they penetrate the skin properly
- Frequency
Most serums can be used twice daily-morning and night-depending on your skin type and serum formulation
Additional Tips:
- Avoid applying serum directly from the dropper onto your face to prevent contamination; instead, dispense it onto your hand first
- Applying serum on damp skin enhances its effectiveness
- Use targeted serums based on your skin concerns, such as vitamin C for dark spots or retinol for fine lines
This method ensures your serum works efficiently, leaving your skin healthy and radiant.
