The beauty and skincare products industry has scaled many heights in the recent years. There is a plethora of skincare products available in the market these days, all promising you the earth in terms of glowing skin, rejuvenated freshness and younger looks.
There are facial oils, facial serums, moisturizers, cleansing oils, face masks and what not flooding the stores to help you get your dream skin. But, do you need all these skincare products? More importantly, what is their specific purpose? Also, which product will suit your skin and work best to tackle the problems you are facing?
In this article, we tell you the difference between these products, and also the specific purpose of each skincare solution.
Difference Between Facial Serum, Facial Oil and Face Moisturizer
An intelligent, customized skincare routine with specifically chosen products can go a long way in giving you the skin of your dreams. The trick is in knowing what is required as per your skin type and needs, and then choosing the skincare products.
Before you use a skincare product, it helps to do some research on your skin type and what suits your skin. We have tried to simplify the different functions of the three skincare products here.
A serum has highly concentrated fluids meant to rectify a particular skin deficiency like dryness or dark spots or dull skin. A facial serum needs to be used after using cleanser and toner. Almost all skin types can benefit from a serum, provided you select the right one and follow instructions carefully.
Facial oils have natural flower and seed oils that help in replenishing skin moisture and hydration on a daily basis. Cleansing facial oils are also used for deep cleansing skin, and needs to be applied at night time for best results. Those with dry and sensitive skin can benefit greatly from the intensely moisturizing facial oils that refine skin texture, and keep away the signs of aging.
Face moisturizers provide moisturization and antioxidant protection, and keep your skin hydrated through the day. If you have acne prone skin, make sure you use a moisturizer after cleansing your skin with the best face wash for acne.
So, to sum it up, these are the functions of the respective skincare products:
- Facial oil repairs and rejuvenates your skin, improves skin tone, and fights signs of aging. Cleansing facial oils deep cleanses skin from dirt, oil, and remnants of make-up.
- Facial serum is highly concentrated solution for specific skin problems like dryness, aging, dehydration, uneven skin tone etc. A daily use serum should provide antioxidant protection at day time, while a night time serum repairs and restores skin health.
- Face moisturizers provide day time hydration and UV protection to your skin. Lightweight oils can work as effective daily moisturizers, even for those with oily skin.
If your skin is oily and acne prone, first use the best face wash for acne, followed by a serum. Use only water based, lightweight moisturizers that are non -comedogenic (do not clog skin pores).
Which Facial Oil and Which Serum and Moisturizer to Use?
Any skin specialist will tell you that the best skincare products, along with healthy eating and a regular cleansing-toning-hydration-moisturizing routine, will ensure healthy, radiant skin on a long-term basis.
Facial oils are versatile skincare products that can be used – according to their formula – for several purposes.
Invest in a daytime facial oil that works as a moisturizer, and helps reduce the appearance of fatigue to give you energized, radiant skin. This facial oil is also an antioxidant serum as it is infused with Ginger Root, and Sunflower and Tamanu Oils. The amazing formula revitalizes your skin, keeping it healthy-looking all day by defending it against free radicals. Get antioxidant protection, along with all day hydration and smoothness of skin.
An excellent facial serum for dry skin would be a lightweight night facial oil infused with Lavender Essential Oil, Evening Primrose Oil and Squalane. Use it every night to make your skin look radiant and soft by morning. This efficacious serum helps repair and replenish your skin beautifully, by fighting the signs of aging and dehydration. What’s more, this serum is dermatologically tested to suit even the most sensitive of skins.
At night time, use a lightweight cleansing facial oil that is a gentle, yet effective deep cleanser. This formula emulsifies with water to a cleansing milk, and efficiently dissolve deep- set oil, dirt and make-up.
