What is a Face Serum?
Facial Serum is a skin-healing product that you can use to provide powerful components directly onto the skin after cleansing but before moisturising. They consist of smaller molecules, which penetrate the skin deeply and provide active ingredients. This makes it a great tool to address skincare specific issues: signs of ageing, dry skin, acne-prone skin, and stubborn skin.
With Ayurveda as a vital part of a skincare scheme that promotes hydration, we have facial serums suitable for every skin type and help make the skin appear pale and soft, longer.
Benefits of serums:
1.) Free of Fillers- Fillers such as mineral oil and petroleum can be found in several skincare beauty products. While fillers do not always create skin conditions, they can irritate individuals with sensitive skin and even trigger breakdowns. A facial serum’s objective is to provide beneficial ingredients such as peptides, minerals, and healthy skin surface-active ingredients deep inside the skin where they can be most effective.
2.) Can Help with Oil Build Up- Although oil-based products may seem like an innovative solution, overproduction of natural oils might compensate your skin for perceived dryness, making your oily skin even oilier.
Here’s how a serum can help – humidity-rich face serum moisturises your skin without adding to oil. A skin serum is added to your skin treatment routine to provide intense hydrating and combat environmental stress.
3.) Calming for Sensitive Skin- You probably aren’t a stranger to redness, irritation, itchiness, or rashes if you have sensitive skin. Hence, in addition to your regimen, add a face serum! One of the advantages of the Serum is that it reduces inflammation and irritation. They help to relieve stressed or sensitive skin while restoring the protective barrier of your skin. With the use of a daily face serum such as this, your skin will look and feel the best!
4.) Contributes to Younger Looking Skin- Visual anti-ageing serum signs such as crows’ legs, dark spots and fine eye lines can help lower the number of visible ageing signs in the skin. Age-defence serums contain beneficial ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid, Sichuan Pepper and Polyglutamic Acid.
Serums and their Concerns
It is essential to know that face serums work wonder when they are targeted towards a specific skincare concern like acne, ageing, dry skin, and dull skin. The beauty benefits of Ayurveda ranges from regular care to miraculous reforms in the skin. Thus, these serums can help in making the skin look radiant, supple, plump and youthful.
Whether you are struggling with acne breakouts, oily t-zones or dry patches, there are numerous specialised Ayurveda face serums, with carefully curated ingredients, available to treat and restore skin-specific concerns.
1.) Acne: Multiple reasons can cause acne. Secretion of excess sebum through the skin pores, clogged pores with bacteria and dead skin cells, inflammation, everything leads to nasty acne and the aftermath of acne scars and spots. A serum infused with the anti-bacterial properties of Neem and Tea-tree and skin calming Magnolia works best to stop the recurrence of acne. The skin-soothing ingredients like Aloe Vera, Cucumber also reduce inflammation and restore the balance in the skin.
2.) Ageing: All we want is youthful skin. It is to be noted that certain factors like pollution, exposure to the sun, and stress can add to the ageing process along with natural ageing. Serums can help eliminate the signs of ageing like fine lines, soft wrinkles and help tighten the tissues by boosting collagen. Using a plant-based serum with Hyaluronic acid can help maintain skin elasticity and diminish the fine lines. Vitamin C and Vitamin E also help maintain skin health, keeping it plump, moisturised, and even.
3.) Pigmentation: Blemishes, dark circles and pigmentation can take away the natural glow and shine of the face. While some blemishes are easier to eliminate, pigmentation takes a little more time to overcome. Serums with Retinol as an ingredient helps in correcting discolouration. Other elements like Vitamin C and Neroli essential oil helps in fading the pigmentation and brightens the skin.
4.) Dullness: Daily exposure to the sun, pollution and dead skin cells often results in dull, dehydrated skin. It can make your face looks dry and unappealing. To improve skin texture and add brightness and hydration, Serums boosted with turmeric, sandalwood and saffron can work wonders to the skin. Daily application of this Serum can induce radiance and a healthy glow.
As Ayurveda promotes hydration as a vital part of a skincare regime, face serums should be included in the day and night regimes essentially according to your skin types and pave the way towards making the skin look plump and supple for a longer time.
