Serums are almost an essential to the beauty makeup bag. Given the fact that I’m in my 30’s now, I’ve decided to amp up my skincare routine a little more and try to remember to apply a serum, whether it be once (or preferably) twice a day. Considering I have dry and dehydrated skin, my face lacks quite a bit of moisture. I suppose it’s all the tea I’m drinking, sucking it all out of me.
Over Christmas break Elizabeth Arden e-mailed me, asking if I wanted to try out some goodies from their line. I ended up receiving two products to try out, one being the Flawless Future Caplet Serum. I want to moisturize, and plump up my skin as much as I can, because I want to stay as young looking as possible. I mean, I’m kinda doin’ it now, considering people often mistake me for being in my early 20’s. Hooray for good genes.
The packaging is certainly appealing, with the gold accents in clear bottle with caplets of serum (looking like a set of pearls) suspended in a clear fluid.
For the past number of years I have been vigilant about my skincare and moisturizing each and every morning. As mentioned above, I’m amping it up now and adding serums to lock in the moisture.
Considering I’ve only tried a couple of serums in the past, it’s hard to really compare it to anything else and review it for you. All I can tell you is that I apply the facial serum in the morning (patting it on gently) letting it sink in before I apply my face moisturizer. And we all know what face cream I use. No surprise: philosophy hope in a jar.
So far so good. It doesn’t interfere with my makeup application. I’ve tried some moisturizers before that completely melted off my self tanner! Yikes.
I’m not entirely sure I would repurchase it, because I want to test a couple of more serums out, before I decide on which one is right for me.
Have you switched up your skincare routine lately? What did you add/subtract to it?
Also, what sort of products do you use/recommend?Â
