You obviously want to look to your best and the easiest way to do that is by looking after your skin. While eating right and drinking lots of water play a big role in glowing skin, caring for it is very important too. Here, enters the tool that features a prime position in any skincare expert’s arsenal — Serums.

Expect a host of skin benefits

A serum functions as a magic ingredient that adds a little more towards amazing, flawless skin. Depending on the type, it works wonders by clearing blemishes, adding a firmer and plump texture to the skin, increasing moisture within the skin, making pores appear smaller, and smoothing out wrinkles.

Serums like the Piel Hydra Fluid are perfect for all kinds of skin types. It’s designed to infuse extra moisture into the skin. While hydrating serums are a must-have for people with dry skin, they can also be used by people with oily or acne-prone skin due to its minimal emollient residue.  

So, how do serums work?

Serums are lightweight and consist of tiny molecules that can be easily absorbed by the skin. Since the fluid amount is very less, it consists of a high concentration of active ingredients and nutrients. This allows it to repair and rejuvenate the skin on a deeper level. Think of it as the ultimate booster for your skin.

While moisturizers and heavy creams are able to effectively hydrate the top layers of the skin, a serum can penetrate into the deep layers of the skin for all-round hydration. Also, unlike the former, serums don’t contain ingredients like petrolatum or mineral oil and are almost entirely water-based.

How and when should I apply it?

A serum can find its place during your daily skincare routine.

• First, wash your face using a cleanser to remove the dirt.
• Next, gently pat your face till its neither too dry nor wet. Applying serum on wet skin may lead to irritation while keeping the skin too dry will slow it down from being absorbed.
• Take a pea-sized amount of serum and apply it evenly on your entire face.
• Finally, add a nourishing moisturizer to completely hydrate the skin.

Important ingredients to note

Knowing the ingredients in any skincare product is a must before you apply it onto your face. For some people, certain ingredients tend to cause skin irritation and can prove to be counterproductive to your skincare routine. Serums contain a plethora of anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and hydrating properties, depending on the one you choose. The Piel Hydra Fluid uses high-quality active ingredients  like Allantoin, Hyaluronic Acid, Serine, and Urea. 

Interesting, but do I really, really need it?

As with everything related to skincare, it ultimately depends on you. Unlike your usual creams and lotions, a serum works on a much deeper level. However, it can’t replace the job of a moisturizer or any other product. Each one has been created for its own special purpose. Just remember that healthy, glowing skin is always an asset and using a serum goes a long way in developing one.

So, are you going to be adding a serum to your skincare routine? Remember to pair it with an excellent moisturizer and cleanser for the best benefits.
