Four Reasons To Include a Face Serum in Your Skincare Routine
Don’t know why you should be using a good face serum? Here’s why you should be prioritizing this magical skincare product in your daily routine.
Of all of the products you can incorporate into your skincare routine, face serums get frequently neglected. Maybe it’s the fact that other skincare steps tend to be easier to understand and follow. You simply wash your face and it’s immediately clean; you apply a face moisturizer and your skin feels instantly less dry. Still, even if the reasoning behind applying skin serums is less common, these face care products truly come with major benefits for every type of skin. Think of face serums as one of the more rewarding steps in your beauty routine (you can even layer and combine them for additional results). It is important to be disciplined—applying your serum twice a day — in order to reap all the rewards later on.
Want to learn more about why you may want to go ahead and get a new skin serum? Below, we break down some of the main reasons to include a face serum in your daily skincare routine.
Face serums have an ultra-lightweight texture and tend to be quickly absorbed, no greasy finish.
The idea of adding another step to a seemingly complete skincare routine can be overwhelming, especially if you have oily skin. Will a hydrating serum make your face feel tacky? Will it clog your pores? Leave your skin looking greasy by 3pm? The quick answer is: No! Face serums have a watery, lightweight texture that allows the skin to absorb it almost immediately after application.
Because our facial serums absorb quickly, they won’t extend the time it takes for you to take care of your skin, either. Just apply it, wait a few seconds, and then move onto your next important step: a face moisturizer.
You can layer or alternate between different serums for customized results.
There’s nothing stopping you from adding different face serums to your routine: a hydrating serum, a brightening serum, an anti-aging serum… Combining formulas can help you get the results you’re looking for (Just remember to make sure the ingredients within the formulas are compatible; for accurate information, consult your beauty advisor. He or she can help you correctly pick a routine that has complementary skincare products.) First of all: regardless of your skin concerns, we recommend this facial serum for anyone looking to step up their game in terms of taking care of your skin. Why? You know that feeling when you wake up after a full night’s sleep and your skin doesn’t look refreshed? Advanced Génifique is a brightening serum that adds luminosity to your skin and helps you regain the lit-from-within glow that begins to fade along with the very first signs of skin aging. And the results come faster than the ones on many alternatives: women claimed their skin looked considerably more rejuvenated in just seven days of using the Little Black Bottle and results only get better from there.
Choose the best face serum for you by making sure it is tailored to your particular skin concerns. If you currently have sensitive skin, swap out your usual Advanced Génifique serum for Advanced Génifique Sensitive, a serum for sensitive skin for Advanced Génifique Sensitivewhich is ideally used at nighttime. It has a dual concentrate enriched with soothing probiotic extracts and pure antioxidants like Vitamin E and ferulic acid to protect your skin against daily aggressors such as skin pollution and radiation. If you’re more concerned about face wrinkles, saggy skin, and hyperpigmentation, use the anti-aging face serum énergie Multi-Lift Ultra Full Spectrum Anti-Aging fluid. If your problem is having dull skin, try Absolue Revitalizing Oleo-Serum, a brightening skin serum featuring a mixture of nourishing camellia, lemon, and Babassu oil to make skin look immediately fresh, radiant and renewed.
Face serums are multitaskers.
It’s rational to think that one skincare product would equal a single result, but each of Lancôme’s facial serums is formulated with different active ingredients to offer a number of different benefits. Take, for example, the options mentioned above. The Rénergie Multi-Lift Ultra Full Spectrum Anti-Aging fluid is not only treats wrinkles and skin sagging—but it also helps with dark spots. Meanwhile, the anti-aging serum Absolue L'Extrait Elixir Concentrate—one of our most luxurious formulas— is boosted with rose extract to treat all signs of aging, making skin smoother, firmer, more radiant, and moisturized. Absolute Revitalizing Oleo-Serum is a brightening serum that contains rose extract and native cells, too. So in addition to giving you nourished, radiant skin through the use of natural oils, it also has regenerative properties that result in younger-looking skin.
Our serums can also be used in sensitive skin.
TThink your sensitive skin can only handle the most basic skincare? Good news: whenever Lancôme tests a new beauty product, a minimum of 50% of the participants have sensitive skin. Even if your skin is on the reactive side, Lancôme offers you options of serums for sensitive skin so that you no longer have to worry about skincare products irritating your skin.
