How to Apply Face Serum

Face serum works best on clean, slightly damp skin after cleansing and before moisturizer. Warm a few drops between your palms and press evenly across your face and neck so the actives absorb well and hydration stays balanced. Most skin types can use serum twice daily - morning for protection, evening for repair.

Step-by-Step Guide to Using Face Serum Effectively

1. Cleanse and Prepare

Wash your face with a mild, sulphate-free cleanser to remove oil and dirt. Pat dry but leave a hint of moisture; this helps pull serum actives deeper into the skin.

2. Measure and Apply

Use two or three drops. Keep the dropper slightly away from your skin to avoid contamination. Pat gently onto cheeks, forehead, and neck instead of rubbing.

3. Layer Smartly

Wait about 30 seconds before applying moisturizer to lock in hydration. In the morning, finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 50. A travel-size bottle usually lasts 6-8 weeks with regular use.

Choosing the Right Serum for Your Skin

Select a serum that matches your skin goals. The clean, vegan range from Lotus Botanicals offers options powered by botanical actives:

• Vitamin C Skin Brightening Face Serum - brightens dull skin and evens tone with high-potency Vitamin C.
• Licorice and Kojic Acid De-Pigmentation Face Serum - fades dark spots and helps manage pigmentation gently.
• Sandalwood & Hyaluronic Acid Glow and Hydrating Sunscreen Serum SPF50+ - hydrates while protecting against UV damage, ideal for daytime layering.

For night routines, choose Vitamin C or Bio-Retinol (Bakuchiol) blends to support collagen and renewal. During the day, use hydrating and antioxidant serums under sunscreen for better barrier care.

Tips for Better Absorption and Care

• Apply within a minute of cleansing while skin is still slightly moist.
• Layer in order: cleanser, toner (optional), serum, moisturizer, then SPF.
• Store Vitamin C serums in a cool, dark place to maintain potency.
• Patch test new formulas on the jawline for 24 hours before full use.
• Keep droppers and caps clean to extend shelf life and avoid oxidation.
