What age should you start using anti-aging hydrating face serum?
It mostly depends on your lifestyle, dietary habits, stress levels, and pollution exposure. These are the most common causes of skin aging. We highly recommend adding Scentuals Hydrating Face Serum into your daily routine starting at the age of 25 or early 20s. As we grow older, the hydration level of our skin tends to decrease leading to visible fine lines and wrinkles. The skin's aging process starts at the age of 21 and becomes more visible by 30.
At 25, you need to use an anti-aging hydrating face serum because this is the time when your skin degeneration process starts to set in. It is best to have a basic skin care routine at this time with at least a quality vitamin C and E serum.
How do you use anti-aging hydrating face serum?
Here is an example of a full skincare routine we recommend following both morning and evening in order to support and maximize your skin health.
-
Wash your face using a cleanser.
- Use a scrub or gentle exfoliator (recommended step 2-3 times a week).
-
Apply a facial toner to rebalance skin and remove dead skin cells.
- While the skin is still slightly damp, apply 2 pumps of the anti-aging hydrating face serum and massage into skin gently (don't forget about your neck!)
- Apply eye cream gently using your index fingers in upwards strokes.
-
Massage your moisturizer into skin gently to lock in and maximize the benefits of the Anti-Aging Serum.
- Be sure to apply SPF in the morning to protect your skin from UV rays
This Anti-Aging Serum is a great addition to both your AM and PM skincare routines. If your skin is generally more oily than dry, we recommend applying it in the evening before your moisturizers and washing it off before starting your day with your morning routine.
How does Anti-Aging Facial Serum differ from a moisturizer?
Our Anti-Aging Hydrating Facial Serum has a lightweight oil-based consistency that absorbs into the skin when massaged in gently. A moisturizer is generally a cream consistency and thicker formula that prevents the skin from drying out and locks hydration in. The Scentuals Anti-Aging Face Serum is made to penetrate deeper into the skin which allows the specific skin benefits to be more targeted and effects are generally more visible. Moisturizers are generally for treating the top layer of skin- nourishing and protecting it while locking in the benefits the serum provides.
Basically, both the Anti-Aging Facial Serum and the Anti-Aging Facial Moisturizer work well together. The serum will get deeper into your skin, while the moisturizer will lock in the many anti-aging and nourishing benefits your skin will love.
What is the best time to use Anti-Aging Facial Serum?
The 100% natural formula of our Anti-Aging Serum is perfect for use on all skin types- making it perfect to use daily as part of both your morning and evening skincare routines. If you have a generally more oily skin type, applying a smaller amount in the morning may be best.
How should an anti-aging hydrating face serum be stored?
Proper storage or your skincare product is important to ensure their effectiveness and maximize their recommended shelf life. We recommend storing them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and always ensuring the caps and lids are securely tightened to prevent any chance of oxidization or contamination. You can place them in your refrigerator but avoid storing them at freezing temperatures.
What are the benefits of an anti-aging hydrating face serum?
The main purpose of using anti-aging hydrating face serum is to fight the effects of aging, hydrate your skin, and protect it from any damage. Here is the list of benefits you get by adding anti-aging hydrating face serum to your daily skin care regime:
- Minimizes the appearance of hyperpigmentation, such as blemishes and dark spots
- Promotes collagen production to reduce fine lines and wrinkles
- Helps prevent sagging skin
- Hydrates and nourishes the skin
- Brightens dull skin
- Protects the skin from free radicals and any damages
Remember, using Anti-Aging Facial Serum daily is recommended to see fine lines and wrinkles reduced and glowing skin. With consistent daily use, effects are generally seen after just 2 weeks.
