Skin-Saving Serums

Come winter, there’s one skincare secret everyone needs to know: moisture- boosting serums are essential. The best serums for dry skin will give your skin an extra dose of hydration while deeply nourishing and protecting it against dry and cold winter air that can strip the skins natural oils. Here’s why you need the right face serum to maintain your skins healthy glow, even when the temperature drops.

 WHAT IS FACE SERUM? 

A serum is a lightweight skincare product that you apply to your skin after cleansing and before moisturising to deliver powerful ingredients directly into the skin. Smaller molecules found in serums allow them to absorb more quickly and penetrate deeply into the skin, delivering high concentrations of active ingredients. This makes them an excellent skincare tool for addressing specific skin issues such as dryness, irritation, and hyperpigmentation.

Here are the serums you need in your winter skincare arsenal to target your specific winter skin concerns.

 BRIGHTENING SERUMS 

Target dullness & uneven skin tone

Revive dull looking skin with a brightening serum to help illuminate the look of your skin and stimulate cell regeneration, revealing brighter and more youthful looking skin.

• Vitamin C - An antioxidant that fades pigmentation and smooths the skins surface to reduce dullness and brighten the skin.
• Retinol - Stimulates collagen production and accelerates skin cell turnover fading discoloration and dark marks in the process.

 Tip: Don’t forget to pat on your brightening serum at night, since the skin does all of its restorative work while you sleep.

 SKIN BARRIER REPAIRING SERUMS 

Target sensitivity & inflammation

Our skin requires soothing ingredients and intense repair to boost and strengthen it during winter. Dry cold air can dehydrate and stress the skin leading to redness, inflammation, tightness and itchiness. Skin barrier repairing serums will restore and fortfity the skin’s barrier, calm sensitivity and plump the skin.

Key barrier repairing ingredients:

• Ceramides - Restore moisture, promote optimal skin barrier function and help protect it against harsh environmental elements.
• Niacinamide- Reduces inflammation which may help ease redness from eczema, acne, and other inflammatory skin conditions; keeping skin smooth and hydrated.

 Tip: Less is more. Serums are super concentrated so use just a few drops or a pea sized amount when applying.

 CLARIFYING SERUMS 

Target breakouts, blemishes & clogged pores

Clarifying or blemish-clearing serums contain a mix of soothing ingredients and anti-oxidative compounds to nourish and protect acne-prone skin. Excessive dryness in winter can lead to inflammation and breakouts. These serums penetrate below the skins surface to reduce excess oil, minimize the appearance of pores, reduce imperfections, improve the look of dark spots, and reduce any redness or irritation for a more balanced and even skin tone.

Key clarifying ingredients:

• Salicylic Acid - A BHA (beta hydroxy acid) that reduces redness, unplugs blocked pores and eases inflammation while maintaining the skins moisture levels.
• Zinc- Regulates oil production, helps balance and purify the complexion for a healthier-looking skin surface.

 Tip:  Once your final layer of serum has absorbed, seal it in with a face oil, face cream or moisturising sunscreen so that any humectants in the formula don't evaporate, and the moisture stays locked in your skin.
