We're all avid users of toners, moisturizers and face wash. However, how many of us include face serums in our skincare? Face serums are more important than we're led on to believe, and here's why. 

What is a serum?

A serum is a type of skincare which when applied gives the skin instant nourishment. It retains the skin's natural moisture, and keeps it looking as well as feeling, plump and alive. 

What can a serum do for you?

A serum has plenty of benefits, but the 6 big ones are these:

1. Hydration

It hydrates the face, keeping it moisturized and providing for even more supple skin.

2. Protection

It protects the face from impurities like dust, dirt, ultraviolet rays and even battles against wrinkles, as well as aging. 

3. Improves Texture and Appearance

It ensures that skin is smooth and soft, refines pores, brightens and gifts younger-looking skin. 

4. Perfects Skin

Serums can also reduce hyperpigmentation on face, as well as reduce past blemishes. 

5. Soothes Skin

It can help with itchiness, dullness, irritations, patches and flaky skin. 

6. Fights Peskies

Last but not least, they aid in fighting acne as well as avoiding future breakouts.
