Face serums work to minimize fine lines and wrinkles, while improving elasticity and texture. Most serums are fortified with hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally occurs in skin. This substance provides a hydrating boost to dry skin.
But, such serums often do not have enough moisturizing ability for dry skin types. Therefore, dry skin sufferers should always apply a moisturizer in combination with a skin serum.
Vitamin C
Research shows that a combination of vitamins C and E serum helps protect skin from UV rays and pollutants. When collagen loses water, oxygen radicals begin to form in the skin. This affects the collagen layer - a process which is commonly known as photo-aging. Photo-aging is particularly common in dry skin types.
Vitamin C serum has a direct benefit for collagen and connective tissue. It can help to keep dry skin moisturized and healthy without excess wax and other binders.
Wrinkle Smoothing
The skin contains a substance known as Intercellular Substance, from which collagen and elastin fibers emerge. This substance is made up of mineral salts, trace elements and proteins.
The elements that compose Intercellular Substance help revitalize the skin providing it with strength and elasticity.
But as the years go by, the Intercellular Substance content diminishes and the skin becomes thinner and drier, promoting the appearance of wrinkles.
Eyelift
Eyelift serums can also act as a fast-absorbing restorative eye-soothing treat. The benefits are as follows:
Eyelift serums help "lift" sagging skin under the eyes, as well as, provide moisture to dry skin.
Vitamins A, B and E (Rose Damascena, Eyebright and Elderflower Extracts) -enriched eyelift serums, help reduce the appearance of fine dry lines.
Eyelift serum treatments that contain nourishing and healing cold-pressed base oils (e.g., Meadowfoam, Kukui Nut) also help pamper the delicate areas around the eye.
Fluid facial skin serums are replacing the more traditional creams and lotions, which often contain many binders, waxes, etc.
Skin serums are often preferred over creams or gels because they are faster absorbing. Therefore, remember to incorporate some form of face serums to prevent wrinkles from appearing.
