Truths About Hydration, Exfoliation, and the Role of Serums in Your Routine

Hydration:
Hydration is vital for maintaining a healthy skin barrier and achieving a supple, glowing complexion. It involves both internal water intake and external use of hydrating products (like moisturizers and hyaluronic acid) to keep skin plump and reduce the appearance of fine lines.

Exfoliation:
Regular exfoliation removes dead skin cells, helping to reveal fresher, brighter skin underneath and allowing other products to penetrate more effectively. However, over-exfoliation can damage the skin barrier, so it’s important to choose the right method (chemical or physical) based on your skin type.

Role of Serums:
Serums are concentrated treatments packed with active ingredients that target specific skin concerns, such as dehydration, dullness, or signs of aging. They work best when applied after cleansing (and toning) but before moisturizing, ensuring that their potent formulas can deeply penetrate and boost the effectiveness of your overall skincare routine.
