1 What is serum?

Serum is a liquid or gel essence that contains high-quality active ingredients. It helps to care for and deeply cleanse the skin. Serums come in two common forms: oil-based and water-based, and they contain various nutrients and nourishing substances with small sizes that can penetrate deep into the dermis, providing comprehensive nourishment for the skin.

2 The two proper steps to apply serum with Dr. Hieu

Currently, there are various types of serums available for you to choose from. However, regardless of the type of serum you use, it is important to know how to apply it correctly. Otherwise, your skin may not receive proper moisturization, leading to dryness and potential peeling. Let’s refer to the four proper steps to apply serum with guidance from Dr. Hieu.

Step 1: Take the serum

Many women tend to use excessive amounts of serum at once, which can be wasteful and ineffective. It is recommended to take an adequate amount. Here are two ways to take serum as recommended by Dr. Hieu:

Method 1: Take a sufficient amount of serum in your hand, using only about 5 drops each time.

Method 2: After cleansing your face, you can directly apply one drop of serum to each area – forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin.

Method 3: Take one drop at a time, apply it, and continue taking more serum until your skin feels adequately moisturized.

Method 4: Take the serum onto the palm of your hand and evenly apply it on your face. However, this method is more wasteful and should be used with caution.

Take the serumTake the serum

Many women wonder when is the best time to apply serum. The answer is right after cleansing the face, waiting for about 2 minutes. After cleansing, the skin is hydrated by water, providing a suitable environment for the absorption of moisture and serums. If you wait too long for the face to dry, the serum won’t be as effective and may lead to dryness and increased oil production.

Step 2: Apply the serum

Method 1: After applying the serum, gently tap the skin to enhance absorption. It is important to tap upwards and towards the sides to prevent sagging over time.

Method 2: After taking the serum, apply it in a spiral motion from bottom to top. Use gentle force at the fingertips and lightly massage to enhance absorption and improve blood circulation.

Method 3: You can also use an electric warm massage machine to enhance absorption into the skin. However, this method is more suitable for use in winter.

Method 4: Alternatively, you can use a cold massage machine to relax the skin and reduce irritation and sensitivity. This is particularly effective for individuals with redness-prone skin.
