5 common mistakes when applying serums.

5 erros comuns na aplicação de Séruns - MPL beauty

Serums are a highly effective beauty product. If a serum in your skincare routine isn't making a positive difference, it's possible that either you haven't chosen the right serum for you, or you're not using it correctly.

Serums are ideal for balancing the skin at each of its stages. They deeply hydrate and tone, leaving a brighter and more even complexion. If you're still undecided about which one to choose, the Mini Serum Kit might be the perfect solution. In the meantime, it's worth remembering:

Pure Sun Serum — With anti-aging and anti-sunspot action, it deeply nourishes and repairs the skin.
Repair Serum — Fights imperfections and reveals healthy, balanced, and clean skin. Perfect for oily, sensitive skin and skin suffering from acne, rosacea, or redness.
Illuminating Serum — Restores radiance to dry and dull skin. Suitable for all skin types, it keeps skin nourished and protected, smoothing wrinkles and fine lines.
Detox Serum — Protects collagen from exposure to daily pollutants and keeps skin firm and radiant.

Error number #1

In its application, the number one mistake is choosing a serum that doesn't meet your skin's current needs. Before choosing any product, you need to understand your skin's needs. If you have any questions, we are always available to help via WhatsApp , Instagram , or Facebook .

Error number #2

Not “listening” to your skin’s hydration needs. Using serum as a substitute for moisturizer may be sufficient at certain times of the year. However, this is not always the case, and it is often necessary to supplement it with a more robust moisturizer. Have you tried our Regenerating Balm to hydrate your skin?

Error number #3

Perhaps you're not following the correct order. Are you familiar with our 4-step routine? Cleanse your skin using the 100% organic cotton Facial Towel and a few drops of your chosen serum ; spray one of the MPL'Beauty Essences on your face; apply the Effective Serum to the eye contour area and finish with the Regenerating Balm . You can explore this routine in detail at this link.

Error number #4

You're not applying the right amount. The amount of serum has a huge impact on its effectiveness. Skincare experts suggest you should use only a pea-sized amount for your face. However, you should also add another identical amount for your neck. In total, you should apply 3 to 4 drops.

Error number #5

The last mistake, and perhaps the most common, is being inconsistent. A lack of consistency greatly diminishes the effectiveness of any product, and serum is no exception. Serum should be part of your daily skincare routine and should be applied twice a day. Yes, a serum should be part of your morning and evening routine.

Another tip is to exfoliate! When we exfoliate, we're removing dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. This is important because it makes it easier for your serum to penetrate. Remember that you don't need to exfoliate your skin every day—integrate this step into your natural skincare routine once or twice a week and you're good to go. You can use any of our Exfoliants on your face—just do it gently and with a small amount.

Now you have all the information you need to start seeing results from applying the serum to your skin. Share your progress with us!
