How To Apply Face Serum In Your AM And PM Routine?

Have you ever bought a face serum because Instagram said it's the 'holy grail,' but now that's just chilling on your shelf like a skincare trophy? You are now in good company! Many of us have been exploring new trends, and that’s how we learn what really works! Whether you are a skincare newbie or already an enthusiast tired of Googling, 'How to use serum correctly?' 'Is it for mornings or nights?' We are decoding it for you!

Why should you use a face serum?

A serum is a true gem in your skincare routine. It is usually water-based and packed with active ingredients that target concerns such as acne scars, dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone. Unlike face moisturisers that hydrate the outer layer of the skin, serums penetrate deeper and treat the skin. It brightens your complexion, revives dull skin, and brings back that healthy glow you thought was lost to stress and screen time (unavoidable, right?) Here’s the truth: once you find the best face serum for your skin, there is no looking back.

How do you apply face serum in your morning routine?

Mornings can be a little chaotic, but face serum is one step in your skincare routine worth slowing down for. It silently does all the heavy lifting like hydrating, smoothing, brightening, and more. Here’s how to apply it the right way!

Step 1: Cleanser

Wash your face with a gentle cleanser to remove any oil, dirt, or sweat that may have built up overnight.

Step 2: Toner

Prep your face with a hydrating toner. It helps the serum absorb better and work effectively. It is like setting the stage for your serum to glow.

Step 3: Serum

Take 2 to 3 drops of your brightening face serum, apply it evenly to your skin, and let it absorb completely. Gently press it instead of rubbing.

Step 4: Moisturiser

Top it off with your favourite moisturiser. It seals all the goodness from your serum and helps your skin stay soft, hydrated and plump.

Step 5: Sunscreen

Never skip this step, no matter the weather! Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 50 to protect your skin from UVA AND UVB rays.

How do you apply face serum in your night routine?

After a long day, your skin feels like, ‘Can I have some TLC?’ And that is where your night-time serum steps in like a silent little hero. But are you applying it the right way? Here’s how:

Step 1: Reset with freshness

Cleanse your face with a mild face wash. It helps remove the makeup, oil, impurities and pollutants. Let your skin breathe!

Step 2: A night-time magic

Take 2 to 3 drops of a beautifying face serum. Gently apply it to your face and neck. Focus on areas that need extra love, like wrinkles, fine lines, or dullness.

Step 3: Wrap it with love

Finish off your routine with a nourishing moisturiser. It locks in the benefits of your serum and keeps it balanced and smooth while you sleep. Also, make sure to apply sunscreen the next morning.

Pro tip: Avoid layering too many products at night. A good serum and moisturiser combo is often all your skin needs.
