Who doesn’t love a good face oil or serum. There is no greater feeling than applying a luscious serum (or face oil) after you’ve throughly cleansed your face. Serums help with that glow we all strive for after a well executed and successful daytime or nighttime routine. Like with all things, moderation is key, especially in this instance.
Serums and face oils, often times, have properties that can cause epidermal congestion depending on your skin type. But that shouldn’t deter you from testing and finding one that works for you. Below are some great options on serums and facial oils to use. But like most skincare, check with a professional to make sure you find what is right for you.
