In the quest for radiant, supple skin, the order of your skincare routine can make all the difference. In fact, those who know skincare know that this is absolutely key when it comes to giving your skin a moisture boost and, of course, that all-important glow. Enter the practice of applying hydration serum before you apply your face oil—a skincare ritual rooted in science and backed by dermatological wisdom.
The Science Behind Hydration Serum Before Face Oil
Hydration serums are formulated with smaller molecules that penetrate deeper into the skin, delivering potent active ingredients directly to where they're needed most. By applying a hydration serum first, you're priming your skin with a concentrated dose of moisture-binding ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and botanical extracts. These humectants attract water molecules, helping to plump and hydrate the skin from within.
In short, a hydration serum is great for refreshing and replenishing dry skin. If you are experiencing dry menopausal skin or have been using the wrong products that do not effectively give you the hydration you need, using a good hydration serum and following it with a great face oil is a good way to counter the effects of this.
So you have used your hydration serum; now it's time to seal and protect...
Following up with a nourishing face oil seals in the moisture and creates a protective barrier to prevent transepidermal water loss. Unlike traditional moisturisers (which often contain water and oil components mixed together), face oils are lipid-rich formulations that mimic the skin's natural oils. They act as emollients, smoothing and softening the skin's surface while locking in the hydration serum's replenishing benefits.
The Benefits of Skin & Tonic Plump Up Hydration Serum followed by Inner Glow Face Oil
Enhanced Hydration: By layering the Plump Up hydration serum underneath the Inner Glow face oil, you maximise your skin's moisture retention abilities. The serum delivers a surge of much-needed moisture deep within the skin while the oil seals it in, resulting in long-lasting suppleness and comfort.
Improved Absorption: Hydration serums are lightweight and fast-absorbing, allowing them to penetrate deep into the skin without leaving a greasy residue. Applying the hydration serum first ensures that its active ingredients can fully penetrate the skin barrier before the heavier oil is applied.
Boosted Radiance: A well-hydrated complexion is naturally more radiant and glowing. By prioritising hydration with a serum before oil, you're laying the foundation for a luminous complexion that radiates health and vitality.
Customisable Skincare
One of the beauties of the Skin & Tonic range is its versatility. You can tailor your product choice to address specific skin concerns, whether it's dryness, dullness, or uneven texture. This personalised approach allows you to create a skincare routine that works best for your unique skin needs.
When it comes to getting the very best out of your skincare regime, the order of application matters. By incorporating a hydration serum before your face oil, you're tapping into science's power to achieve optimal hydration, suppleness, and radiance.
