Mischo Beauty: loss of elasticity

A few months ago, I was given the opportunity to try Jurlique's new Biodynamic Beauty Range, which consists of a serum, eye cream, night lotion and refining treatment. You all know how much I love skincare, and so I was more than excited about this opportunity. Well most recently, I've been using Jurlique's Lavender Hydrating Mist and Skin Balancing Face Oil. The Lavender Hydrating Mist is rich in lavender and marshmallow and works to hydrate and refresh dry, tired skin. The scent is soft, soothing- actually very relaxing.

The Skin Balancing Face Oil is formulated with avocado, macadamia and rose hip and works to guard against the loss of moisture and elasticity, which means it keeps the skin hydrated and firm. My preference has been to use this at night before applying my moisturizer. It's been a perfect addition for me, due to the fact that I normally need to make modifications to my skincare regimen with the change of seasons. During the winter months, my skin is usually dry and dehydrated, and this is an excellent addition to my skincare regimen.

Have you tried Jurlique products?

So today I'd like to share with you the benefits of serums. I believe in serums and am amazed at how the skin benefits from them!

A serum is a highly concentrated treatment of active ingredients used to penetrate and treat various skin conditions such a dehydration, fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation issues or loss of elasticity. They're ususally made up of vitamins, lipids or antioxidants and are usually the consistency of a thin liquid. To allow for maxium penetration into the skin, they're formulated with smaller molecules which makes them extremely effective. They can be used both day and night and are usually applied under a moisturizer, but can be used alone. During a facial an esthetician might apply a serum under your mask or before the application of your moisturizer depending on your specific skincare needs.

So, do you need a serum? Well, I would suggest creating a skincare regimen and being faithful to it. Once you're consist with your regimen, really begin to pay attention to your skin and make note - for example- of dehydrated areas, loss of elasticity and dullness. If your skincare regimen doesn't correct these issues, then I'd highly suggest investing in a serum!

Love your skin.
