Serums perfect for day time:
We’ve started a “For the Love of Serums” series – and here, we’re talking about serums to use for daytime.
This means you are applying the serum when you wake up, after your normal day time routine.
If you don’t feel there is one particular struggle you are facing, but you just want to give your skin a little extra oomph, try these:
Glo-Berry CBD Serum – $$ (Code of Harmony): this serum got rave reviews when our staff tried it. Calming, thanks to the CBD, and provides extra glow with its pearlescent ingredients.
Stone Crop Serum – $$ (Eminence): deeply hydrating and works for both men and women!
Sea Kelp Bioferment Essence Serum – $$ (From Molly With Love): Inspired by Korean skincare, this smoothes, hydrates and repairs wrinkles and also improves skin elasticity. This serum contains Sea Kelp Bioferment, a nutritive active, which is healing and soothing for any skin type, as well as a high concentration of vitamins and minerals.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA):
Not all serums are created equal — some have an extra special ingredient called Hyaluronic Acid or HA. This is a plumping ingredient due to its ability to retain water so effectively. The High Desert dries out our skin, so using products with hyaluronic acid can really counter that effect.
Pro Repair Hyaluronic – $$ (From Molly with Love): Smoothes and gives your face a “baby skin” effect. An incredible gateway into HA products if you haven’t used them before.
Citrus & Kale Potent C+E Serum – $$$ (Eminence): Reduces inflammation and redness, improves the overall appearance of your skin and replenishes elasticity and hydration.
Strawberry Rhubarb Hyaluronic – $$ (Eminence): Choose this serum for a youthful glow and a smoothing and plumping effect.
Dry Skin:
In Central Oregon, low humidity and lots of sun tend to dry the skin and allow more moisture to escape. Lock it in with one of these serums that provide that extra umph!
Desert rose serum – $ (Wild Folk Flower Apothecary): Soothing and specially formulated for dry skin and rich in antioxidants
Salvation Skin CBD serum – $$ (Code of Harmony): CBD lends extra plump and lift, while the plant oils and Omega 3,6,7 and 9 will give your skin a diverse dose of lipids that don’t clog your pores
Premature Aging:
Premature aging is primarily due to sun damage, but cold temperatures and a dry climate are also big culprits. Blast them all with these serums.
Elderflower – $ (Wild Folk Flower Apothecary): Rejuvenating and smoothing, with elderflower infused apricot oil which naturally evens skin tone.
Marine Flower Peptide – $$$ (Eminence): Makes skin look visually smoother, plumper and improves hydration levels
Citrus & Kale Potent C+E $$$ (Eminence): Helps with collagen formation, reduces inflammation and redness
Brightening:
For pigmentation issues, try one of these two serums:
Glow Juice Vitamin C – $ (From Molly with Love): Fades brown spots, firms and brightens with aloe and omega 3 and 6.
Bright Skin Licorice Root – $$ (Eminence): Aids with uneven pigmentation, also a great pick for men.
