Pardon me for saying this, but the whole “cleanse, tone, and moisturize” beauty routine is so 2000 and late. Sure, these are the basics and most important when it comes to skin care, but let it be known that there’s an extra step that everyone should already get on board with: serum.
With major brands coming up with their own “breakthrough products” in the form of serums, you can say that they’re having quite a big moment in the beauty department right now—but serums are more than just a beauty fad, FYI, and people are raving about it for a good reason. They’re lightweight, fast-absorbing, and made up of smaller molecules that penetrate deeply into the skin. Serums are packed with concentrated ingredients that are potent enough to target your specific beauty woes and achieve game-changing results.
If you already know which beauty concerns you want to address, then the next step is to find the perfect serum for you. Take a look at our suggestions below and they might just work wonders for your skin!
