wanneer en hoe vaak gebruik je serum tinge

When and how often do you use a serum?


A serum is a powerful skin care product that, thanks to its high concentration of active ingredients, penetrates deep into the skin. Adding a serum to your daily routine can help address specific skin concerns. Think fine lines, dry skin or a dull complexion. But how often should you use a serum? And when does it best fit into your skincare regimen?

What does a serum do and why is it important? 

A serum is a lightweight formula designed to provide the skin with an intensive dose of active ingredients. Creams are often meant to lock in moisture. In contrast, a serum is designed to address specific problems such as pigmentation, dehydration or wrinkles. Serums contain smaller molecules that can penetrate the skin faster and therefore reach deeper layers of the skin.

How often do you use a serum?

The frequency of using a serum depends greatly on the type of serum and the needs of your skin. Generally, it is recommended to apply a serum once or twice a day. Below we discuss some guidelines:

Intensive cure

Serums that contain moisturizing or antioxidant ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, can be used daily, morning and night, during an intensive regimen. These ingredients are mild enough for regular use.

Maintenance

For maintenance, it is enough to apply the serum several times a week, morning and evening.

Formulas with retinol or acids

Be careful with strong formulas, such as retinol or acids (AHA/BHA). These active ingredients can irritate the skin if used too often.

When do you use a serum?

The timing of using a serum is crucial for optimal results. Generally, a serum is applied after cleansing the skin, but before applying a day cream or sunscreen. This is because serums are usually watery or light in texture and are quickly absorbed by the skin.

  • Cleanse the skin: Make sure your face is clean and free of dirt before applying the serum. Proper cleansing helps the active ingredients penetrate the skin better.
  • Apply the serum: After the face wash you can apply a few drops of the serum to your face and neck. Massage it gently into the skin and wait until it is fully absorbed.
  • Complete with a moisturizer: After the serum is absorbed, finish the routine with a moisturizing cream. This helps to retain moisture in the skin and enhances the action of the serum.

Serums with hyaluronicacid

Choosing the right serum depends entirely on your skin type and the specific problems you want to address.

For dry or dehydrated skin types, serums containing hyaluronic acid such as the Tinge facial serum a good choice. They attract water and keep the skin hydrated. These can be used both in the morning and at night.

This serum also contains anti-aging ingredients such as sea buckthorn oil, with antioxidant effect. This contributes to an anti-aging effect by reducing the harmful impact of free radicals.

Free radicals are unstable molecules created as a result of factors such as exposure to UV rays, pollution and stress. These molecules can damage skin cells, contributing to premature signs of aging such as wrinkles, fine lines and a dull complexion.

In addition, antioxidants support skin cell repair and strengthen the skin's natural protective layer. This not only combats aging, but also improves skin hydration and elasticity, contributing to a healthier, youthful appearance.
