In today’s world of pollution and other complications, it requires extra care to get beautiful soft skin with a natural glow. The concentrated power of face serums can address your skin’s needs, especially to fight signs of ageing and skin damage.
Face serums have now become an indispensable part of our daily face care routine. But choosing the right face serum can be quite a challenge. The first step is to zero in on what your skin needs and then to look for a face serum that can provide it for you, all the while ensuring that the ingredients are natural and do not cause damage to the delicate skin of your face.
So here’s an ultimate guide from Zayn & Myza on how to choose the best face serum that can replenish your skin and give it the healthy glow of youth.
Face Serum – How to Use and Apply?
We use facial routine products for cleansing, moisturizing and protecting your skin from the harmful rays of the sun and dust and other pollutants. But the serum has a different function. A moisturizer helps prevent water loss and is of a thicker consistency, whereas serum is water-based, thinner, liquid-like consistency and active ingredients in the size of small molecules that enter through the pores and begin working on your skin right away.
In recent years, it has been found that just using traditional skincare routine products like toner, conditioner and moisturizer proved to be less effective as compared to using modern-day serums. Serums offer better results and are used after cleansing and before moisturizing.
The Most Common Types of Serums Include:
● Hydrating serums
● Antioxidant serums
● Brightening serums
● Resurfacing serums
● Clarifying serums
● Pore-minimizing serums
● Anti-ageing serums
● Calming serums
How to Choose the Right Serum?
Everyone’s skin has different needs. So be sure to choose a serum according to your skin type and texture, and the results you wish to achieve. Brands that use natural ingredients are safest for all skin types and ensure that your skin remains beautiful and healthy for life.
Zayn & Myza is a 100% vegetarian, halal beauty and personal care brand with clinically proven ingredients that include no harmful chemicals or the Dubious 8 – skin allergens that can irritate and inflame the skin. Z&M’s conscious cruelty-free products ensure that your skin gets the right care it deserves.
For Sensitive and Acne-Prone Skin
If your skin is sensitive and highly prone to acne, then you must seek products made with anti-inflammatory properties. Fortunately, ZM’s tea tree serum for acne has ingredients that prevent redness, breakouts and inflammation. Be sure to check for zinc, arnica and aloe vera on the ingredients list in the Vitamin C serum, which helps in face brightening.
Zinc – Zinc has healing properties and works best on sensitive skin, as it soothes irritated skin.
Retinol – Retinol brightens dull skin and reduces wrinkles. It also helps in unclogging pores and preventing breakouts. Try our new line of ZM retinol serum with RoseHip extracts.
Vitamin C – Vitamin C hydrates and brightens your skin and reduces swelling and redness.
Salicylic Acid – Sweat and grime clogging pores are major causes of acne. Salicylic acid serum unclogs skin pores and prevents sweat and grime from getting accumulated.
For Dry Skin
For dry skin, applying an additional layer of serum will boost the efficacy of your skincare routine. Wrinkles and flakes are major signs of dry skin, so be sure to remedy these in time with the right face serum.
Effective usage of Serum for Dry Skin
ZM’s Niacinamide Serum has a variety of natural ingredients, which are best for dry skin. For effective results, use the serum twice daily in the day and at night. Clean your face with water and a non-drying cleanser, pat it dry, use a toner without alcohol, and then apply a good amount of face serum that contains hydrating properties.
Vitamin E – Most moisturizers are rich in Vitamin E but can leave a greasy, sticky layer on the skin. But a face serum with Vitamin E has a non-sticky formulation and repairs skin damage.
Retinol – It ensures proper blood flow to the skin, plumps it, and reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
Hyaluronic Acid – Hydration is a must for dry skin. Choose a face serum with hyaluronic acid to maintain the moisture and to hydrate it thoroughly.
Niacinamide – Dry skin needs more care and sufficient hydration to maintain its elasticity. Niacinamide increases the elasticity and ceramide content of the skin to make your skin soft and bouncy.
For Oily Skin
Oily skin needs sufficient hydration to regulate the excessive secretion of sebum. ZM’s Niacinamide Face serum hydrates the skin, helps to counter oil levels, and repair cells under the epidermis.
Look for these ingredients in your serum:
Hyaluronic Acid – Oily skin results from dehydration. When your skin is not hydrated enough, it produces an excessive amount of sebum to replenish moisture. Hyaluronic acid restores water content and maintains the oil balance of your skin.
Zinc – Zinc absorbs excess oil from the skin and lets other nutrients do their work.
Niacinamide – Niacinamide serum controls skin texture and works wonders on oily skin. It controls sebum while keeping the skin well-nourished.
ZM is a clean and conscious brand that makes halal skincare products that have 100% vegetarian ingredients, which are manufactured through halal and cruelty-free methods. These products contain no harmful chemicals, no drying alcohols, and are dermatologically tested. So try our face serums that get you well-nourished and glowing skin naturally.
