Facial serums are an important part of any skincare routine, thanks to their concentrated formulas and powerful ingredients. “Serums are my go-to skincare product right now, เว็บพนันออนไลน์ UFABET สมัครง่าย โปรโมชั่นมากมาย and for good reason. They work so well and are so easy to use,” says Dr. Joel Schlessinger, board-certified dermatologist and CEO of LovelySkin.
If you’re just starting to add serums to your skincare routin. You may be wondering how to use them together or which serums you can use together. Dr. Joel Schlessinger shares his insights:
Can I mix serums?
If you’re short on time, you may be wondering if you can speed up your skincare routine by mixing one or more serums and applying them all at once. You may have seen a practice called “serum cocktailing,” which involves mixing several drops of serum together in the palm of your hand, on social media, and wondered if it was a good idea.
How to use multiple facial serums together
If you want to use more than one face serum in your skincare routine, consider applying them in order. When it comes to how to use serums together, a good rule of thumb is to start with the lightest formula. After waiting a few minutes for the first serum to absorb, you can apply the next.
However, some serums aren’t meant to be used together. “I don’t recommend using two serums with harsh exfoliating ingredients, like glycolic acid and retinol, together, because you can over-exfoliate and irritate your skin,” says Dr. Schlessinger. “You might want to try alternating between them.”
What kind of serum should I use?
The face serum you want to use depends on your skin concerns and goals.
There are some popular active ingredients that you’ll often see in serum formulas, and knowing what they are can help you choose from the many options available. Hydrating serums contain hyaluronic acid to help instantly and temporarily plump up your skin by drawing moisture into your skin.
Glycolic and salicylic acids are exfoliating ingredients that can help improve acne, dullness, and uneven skin tone by removing dead skin cells and promoting cell turnover. Retinol is another versatile ingredient that can help improve both skin texture and tone.
Which serums can be used together?
1. Vitamin C + hyaluronic acid
