For most of us, a daily beauty regime involves cleansing, toning, and moisturising.
But if you are dealing with any skin issues, including dryness or dehydration, it’s time to seriously think about adding in a fourth step – a serum.
Lightweight, fast-absorbing, and often containing a higher concentration of ingredients, serums have many regenerative and anti-ageing benefits.
“Although serums are increasing in popularity and there’s a greater appetite for ingredient-led skincare, there’s a lack of understanding about the role serums can play in your regime,” explained No7 scientific advisor Dr. Eleanor Bradley. “Moisturisers are important for delivering moisture and hydration to the skin’s surface and are great multi-taskers (often also including active ingredients and SPF). Serums, however, are specifically designed to deliver actives deep into the skin where they can produce noticeable, cumulative benefits.”
