It is a little-known fact that a fantastic serum will make the most significant difference in your complexion; the right lustrous elixir can give your skin an exemplary glow, working as medicine for the skin. The quest for the perfect serum isn’t an easy one; you must find the right formula for your skin type to get the luminous complexion we’re all lusting over.
Serums tend to be lightweight formulas packed with powerful supercharged ingredients that deeply penetrate your skin. A serum should be applied after your face is cleansed and toned, always before your moisturiser or oils. Never a replacement for your daily moisturiser or night cream; more of a supportive high-functioning best friend to both of them. It is a common misconception that face serums are only for those concerned with ageing or dryer skins; serums boost the effects of your moisturiser, acting as a perfect base for it. Moisturisers and serums are the Thelma and Louise of the face; you’ll never want one without the other, soulmates if you will.
We have compiled a list of our top five skin health-boosting serums; go on Huns, find the perfect Thelma to your Louise:
ILODY: LUXMI HYDRATING RADIANCE SERUM
Formulated with ‘tremella mushroom’ (or snow fungus as it's more commonly known), a skincare staple for well over 1000 years in the East that is quickly becoming a popular ingredient in Western skincare. Rich in vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin works to repair and strengthen the skin’s barrier and holds up to 500 times its weight in water providing plump, radiant, resilient skin. Black tea ferment is used to rejuvenate and detoxify, whilst liquorice adaptogen (which is suitable for sensitive skin) works as a skin brightener and an anti-inflammatory.
A light-weighted multi-functional serum that combines bio-compatible both perfect for skincare buffs and those looking to brighten and improve their skin’s texture. It can be used alone or mixed in with foundation to give an extra glow; think Mac’s Strobe Cream with added skincare benefits.
