How to Use Night Serum?
Night serums are potent skincare products designed to work their magic while you sleep. Knowing how to apply them correctly maximizes their benefits. Here's a comprehensive guide:
Applying a face serum is a simple process, but consistency is key for achieving the best results. The method is similar across most face serums:
- Cleanse: Start with a clean face. Wash thoroughly to remove dirt, makeup, and oil.
- Amount: Dispense a pea-sized amount (about 3-4 drops) of serum onto your fingertips or the palms of your hands. [Reference: Step 1, provided text] Some brands suggest using a pump or capsule. Check your specific product instructions.
- Spread: Gently spread the serum between your palms. Avoid excessive rubbing. [Reference: Step 2, provided text]
- Apply: Pat the serum onto your face and neck using small, gentle tapping motions. Work from the center of your face outwards and upwards. [Reference: Step 3, provided text; Reference: How To Apply a Face Serum Correctly | No7 Beauty]
- Follow Up: Allow the serum to fully absorb (2-3 minutes is a good guideline). [Reference: Renew Resurfacing Night Serum – Naked & Thriving Skincare] Then apply your moisturizer. Some serums may be combined in the palm of your hand with moisturizer before application. [Reference: T.L.C. Framboos™ Glycolic Night Serum]
- Frequency: The frequency of use depends on the serum and your skin type. Some are suitable for nightly use, while others are recommended for 2-3 times a week. [Reference: Review: Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum] Always follow the instructions on your specific product.
Applying Hair Serums
Hair serums, especially night serums, are designed to nourish and repair hair while you sleep. Application instructions may vary slightly depending on the product:
- Timing: Apply to dry or damp hair before bedtime. [Reference: Nutritive 8H Magic Night Hair Serum for Dry Hair | Kérastase]
- Amount: Use the recommended amount (often a pump).
- Distribution: Spread the serum evenly through the lengths and ends of your hair. Avoid applying to the scalp.
- No Rinse: In most cases, there is no need to rinse the serum out in the morning. [Reference: Nutritive 8H Magic Night Hair Serum for Dry Hair | Kérastase]
Note: Always refer to your specific serum's instructions for detailed application guidelines and frequency.
