How to Effectively Apply Anti Aging Serums

If you are looking to get the best results from your face serum then you must ensure the active ingredients it contains penetrate to the dermis. Not knowing how to apply it properly will only mean a waste of your money and effort.

The result you get from the use of anti aging serums will partly depend on your application of it. It is therefore important you know the best way to apply it if you want to see an effective result.

Here are some top tips you can follow for effective results:

•     Get your skin thoroughly cleansed and apply a toner as explained in the 4 basic steps to a clean and healthy skin.

•         Warm and slightly moisten your face by applying a warm moist towel to it. This will help to open your skin pores and keep your skin moist.

•         Put little dots of serum on your face and use your middle finger to blend lightly and quickly all over your face.

•         Avoid pulling, rubbing or stretching your skin. Rather use short light and firm strokes to apply the product.

•         After applying, while the product is still wet use your fingers to tap the surface of your face for about 30 seconds. This aids the delivery of the active ingredients to the dermis or deeper layers of your skin where they need to be for optimum results. With brands containing Vitamin C and retinoids you may experience a tingling sensation during the deep penetration of these active ingredients. If you get this feeling it’s nothing to worry about.

•         Do not apply too much with the hope of instant younger looking skin as your skin can only absorb so much and the residue may end up blocking pores, ruining your makeup or causing breakouts.

•         Apply your moisturizer in a similar way only when the anti-aging fluid is fully dry. Then apply your normal makeup when your moisturizer has fully sunk.

There are assortments of products to choose from in the market place, but the best product for you is the one that gives you the desired result of a younger looking and radiant skin. But, an active ingredient in your cream or moisturizer may cancel out a different active ingredient in your serum or cause irritation when combined. Therefore it is better to use facial serum, and other cosmetics from the same brand based on a set of ingredients that work together. This will reinforce results for better skin clarity, reduction in wrinkles and fine lines.
