Here are Olay’s Serums for every skin concern
Our work-from-home setup has really changed the way we work. Being on-call even during the wee hours of the night can be unkind to our skin. Our usual skincare products like our cleansers and moisturizers, although important, aren’t enough to address our skin concerns. We need to use more potent, concentrated products to really target our specific skin concerns and have glowing skin through these stressful times. These potent, concentrated potions are serums.
Smoother skin in a bottle: A review of the Estée Lauder Perfectionist Pro
If you asked me what my favorite luxury brand is, I would answer Estée Lauder in a heartbeat! The Advanced Night Repair wonderfully balances my oily skin, the Double Wear foundation is one of my favorite foundations ever, and the Pure Color Love lipsticks are the perfect luxury lipsticks to start with. The bar has been set pretty high so when I started my trial of the Estée Lauder Perfectionist Pro Rapid Firm+Lift Treatment, I honestly wondered if it would live up to my expectations.
Why my dry, dull skin loves Kiehl's serums
Kiehl's has long been a well-loved skincare brand. They are on the pricier side, but you certainly get your money's worth if you find something your skin adores! I’ve been a fan of their Super Multi-Corrective Cream, and their Power Serums are popular with the PV community as well.
Reader question: Do we really need serums?
I received an interesting question on my Kiehl's post last week. Says Dewi:
Hi liz! I'm really clueless about skincare... I'm in my mid 20s and my only regimen is cleanse, tone, sunblock (AM) and eye cream. Do i really need a serum especially kasi acne prone ako? I'm afraid na serums might cause me to break out or be more oily! Help!
Oh, you! You're not clueless about skincare at all. You have the basics down pat, although I would recommend that you invest in a good night moisturizer to keep your skin supple. I don't think that a sunblock is enough to maintain your skin's moisture barrier (and by extension, its elasticity) since you're probably using something that's very light.
I do think that everyone should moisturize their skin at night, especially if they have a fan or an aircon unit in their room. These appliances can dry up our skin much more than we think. Besides, night time is the best time to heal our skin from the day's stresses (like pollution, sun exposure, etc). Most moisturizers - especially those designed for evening use - have the basic properties to recharge your skin for the day ahead.
