Everything You Need To Know About Anti-Aging Serums - DMKSkincare

1. Everything You Need to Know About Anti-Aging Serums Do you want to avoid dark spots, fine lines, and wrinkles as much as possible? You don’t have to wait until they show up. You can start as early as in your 20s by consulting an Australian skin clinic for products that can fight the signs of ageing. But if you’re late in the anti-ageing game, don’t worry because you can still get rid of wrinkles with the right facial serum. Read on to learn what it is, how it works, and how to use it, along with suggestions on which products to get. What is a serum? Serums are skincare products with higher concentrations of certain active ingredients your skin needs to target specific problems, such as wrinkles. Most serums are gel-based, liquid, clear and not as thick as moisturisers. They are typically applied before the moisturising step to lock in moisture. Going deeper than lotions and heavy creams Serums hydrate the skin more effectively than heavier creams because the molecules can penetrate and hydrate deeper. The result? Your skin gets the necessary collagen boosters, rich antioxidants, and all the good stuff to get rid of wrinkles. In contrast, heavy creams and facial lotions tend to sit on the top layers. That said, serums are not a substitute for your moisturiser. Instead, think of them as the means to boost your moisturiser’s hydrating effects. Nutrition for the skin Studies have proven the effectiveness of nutritional supplements in delaying skin ageing. Many anti-ageing serums contain these ingredients to be effective:

2. Antioxidants – These are vitamins C, B3, and E, flavonoids, and polyphenols that minimise free radicals and collagen degradation. They also provide anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. DMK’s Direct Delivery Vitamin C is an antioxidant serum that stimulates the cellular renewal process to minimise damaged cells, revise ageing, and improve scarring, texture and skin tone. Cell regulators – Peptides, retinol, and growth factors to improve collagen production and metabolism. ● ● ● Skin serums versus creams and lotions Both serums and creams aim to moisturise the skin. However, heavier and thicker lotions and creams create a barrier on the skin to lock in moisture, preventing water from evaporating and penetrating the skin’s surface. In contrast, DMK’s serums are water-based. They are weightless and non-greasy, with fewer thickening or lubricating ingredients. This makes them effective at penetrating the skin deeper to deliver nutrients optimally and improve reactive, traumatised, and irritated skin. Our Beta Gel is an immune-boosting serum that addresses all skin conditions, including ageing and acne. Skin serums and their benefits Highly effective – Serums help get rid of wrinkles and other signs of ageing, like sun spots and hyperpigmentation. Super efficient – Even a small drop has a high concentration of ingredients, making a bottle of serum last long. Serums are made with smaller molecules that absorb faster and deeper into the skin. Safe and non-invasive – You can use serums in the comfort and privacy of your home. There’s no need to visit an Australian skin clinic. No prescription required – DMK Skin Revision Technicians can recommend the best anti-ageing serum without referring you to a dermatologist. ● ● ● ● When to apply a facial serum Cleanse your face first, then follow up with a toner to restore your skin’s pH. Next, apply two to three drops of serum on clean fingertips and apply to moist, damp skin. Massage the serum gently onto your skin to absorb and penetrate well, and wait for five minutes before applying your moisturiser.
