SERUMS

One of the best items to have in your routine, next to a good moisturizer and SPF, is a serum. Serums are a highly concentrated liquid, most times, tasked with targeting a specific concern. There are so many serums on the market to select and to be honest, you can never really have too many, in my personal opinion. I tend to have anywhere from 3-4 at any given time. Each one has a different skin mission. Sometimes, I even layer them.  In a nutshell, in terms of molecular structure, they are small enough to go deep into the skin and work on fixing the issue/concern at hand. Out of all the items in your routine, serums may be a bit more expensive, which is relative to you, the consumer, but definitely worth the splurge.   

Personally speaking, I like to have a good Vitamin C serum and a hyaluronic acid serum in my routine. I like that they can be used day or night. Generally, it is recommended to apply your serum after the usage of essence. However, make sure that they serum you use can be apply to your dampened skin, otherwise, it may not be as effective. After the serum is applied to your skin, allow it to set in and follow up with your moisturizer.
