Ever wonder what the craze is about with serums?
Serums are made of very small molecules so they absorb quickly and penetrate deeper into your skin. Creams are thicker and heavier and form a barrier on your skin. That’s great for locking in moisture, but it can also lock active ingredients out. If you are going to use both, always apply the serum first and wait a few minutes before you apply your cream or moisturizer.
We’ve put together a list of our top 6 ingredients found in the serums we use here at Lemon + Honey Day Spa and how they benefit your skin. Lets get started!
