In one of my old blogs, I discussed about the secret in getting flawless skin is to cleanse your face properly everyday and night. Another secret is 'serum'! Serum has become more and more popular in last 2 years.
What is serum?
For those who don't know what serum is, it is a skin product that enhances the moisturizer. It comes in two types; a water based and an oil based. If you have oily skin you should use the water based serum and if you have dry skin you should choose an oil based serum. Serum is a vitamin packed, its enriched more than a moisturizer because of its concentration.
You apply it on toned face (cleansed + toner) and then your moisturizer. You don't need to put too much, about a coin size will do or a little bit more if needed and spread it around your face
Since it gives you that extra hydration and really smooths your skin it can act as a primer too. Makes your make up look better and less cakey (wanting make-up to look less cakey also depends on the way you apply your foundation; its always good to put the foundation on the back of your hand first rather than directly on to your face. Use a sponge or brush, dab a bit of foundation and drag it a few times on your hand to make it thinner).
Talking about the serum being a primer the other day I saw that Max Factor has got a new foundation with serum in it. It even has sun block effect, SPF 15.
It's only £12.99, to me that's not bad. Because a tube of serum can be £30+ sometimes, depending on the brand.
Apart from giving you silky skin, most serum has dark sport correcting effect, age repairing effect, gets rid of red spot or redness in the skin, etc.
So, if you haven't got your serum yet, go get one now. Your partner would be all over you, touching and kissing your face all the time. Lol!
