3 Serums Myths Debunked❗️

[mminjiii.]

hope the sephora kids heard the last one

I never understood why people put product on your palms it makes much more sense to use your finger tips!

[debrandw]

Thank you so much for clearing this up. I hear some crazy things on YouTube. Thank you

[lunafox]

Thank you for this! But still, for safety and longer shelf life i'll just keep using the dropper indirectly and never touch my face :)

Also reminder: If you’re planning on layering skincare, Make sure it is lightweight lol. If it’s got a thick texture then it’s probably heavyweight and it’s honestly not the best for layering.

I So agree with the rubbing the serum between your fingers to "warm it up" so it applies more evenly.... never understood why people do this because I don't have the money to WASTE a single drop of product when you can just rub it into the skin on your face which provides the same exact "effect. " I see people take their foundation and rub it on the back of their hand before applying to the face as well. So many do this, but for me, it's SO WASTEFUL!!

Also, after taking it on your fingertip don't start massaging in one place. Spread the serum by tapping your fingertip in multiple places then massage.

1. The 'ingredients' he described is called preservatives, he may be avoiding this word because people usually would be fearful of this as it can possess 'health risks', but in product formulations its actually vital to preserve the shelf life of a product. Mentioning the word preservative i think is vital here, because people can misunderstand this and think that their homemade DIY made using food skincare products contain them as well. But for good measure, avoid placing the dropper on the face but if you did its not a big problem
2. true this just makes u want to use more product because theres more surface area to cover. Although putting droplets and droplets onto the finger is kinda tedious and may spill the product, instead i would put the drops on the back of your cleaned hands and pick up drops by drops and massaging it into the skin per area. Although with runnier consistencies, i would just drop them on my face directly.
3. Absolute no no. You dont even know what would react when both products are mixed together. One possible occurence is that the active ingredient within both serums would get very diluted, as products usually have carrier ingredients in them that do lots of other things to help the actives function and when two serums mixed, the carrier ingredients also mix and therefore dilutes the actives even more (considering they havent been canceled out or deactivated as they could react with each other in some ways). Layer them, usually by consistency, thin to thick. It reduces the chance for the actives to get cancelled out or deactivated, and the carrier ingredients are usually used up or penetrated into the skin already.

As for third myth, it's actually work for meee like good. A serum cocktail is so much look good for my skin. I mix cocktail of 3% tranexamic acid and 10% niacinamide acid. When I layer this serum I don't know why kinda looks dull or grey for me but if it's a cocktail it gives What to do? 👀💗

I used the second technique and I don't think it wasting my money, because my hands were very dry 😭
Atleast the scincare for my face would also give a benefit for my dry hand

[amalutom]

Into a smoothie 😅😂 had me cracking up ..

[pinkyfactr]

Haha . Ever since the dawn of serums, I have never ever wasted them on my palms!

[ySheng-xrlu]

1 or 2 minutes heh
I always 10 to 20 sec 😂

I make my own hyalauronic acid, with distilled water, and preservative. I purchase a 4-5 oz plastic bottle, w/ flip top, and sanitize it with alcohol before using. It's only about $1.49 for the bottle.

[aliarsenal]

I never rub any of my skincare especially serum on my palm, I just use it directly on my face. It’s true. What a waste of money if the serum gets into your hand more and not your face.

[Lovebirdd]

Touching the dropper on your face breaks down the preservative system due to it having to work harder to prevent the bacterial growth, from my understanding, leading to a shorter shelf life. It's a no from me.

Muy buenas recomendaciones, gracias.Noté que la palma de sus manos están blancas, pero con algunos productos (protectores solares color, o Vit C con Ferulic, tinturan las falanges distales y el borde de las palma de las manos, sin sintomas, hay que enjuagar muy rápido y energicamente para que desaparezca, a otras dermatologas se las e visto enrojecidas también, pregunto 🙄será que uso guantes? 😁no les pasa?

[Lily--ym]

"All serum into a smoothie" 😂😂😂😂. Btw thank you for these valuable information ❤

[Tia_S]

The 1st is definitely not for acme prone skin .

[MsCheriecoco]

Oh no, I’m guilty of the 3rd one. Whenever I’m rushing out in the morning.
