The perfect skin — what does it mean? While we all might have differences in our opinions of the system of the world, one thing we all can agree upon is our conscious, subconscious (and even unconscious) desire to have beautiful skin.

Skin which glows, remained hydrated and moisturized and makes us look absolutely gorgeous insta-worthy — be it at 7 am or pm. With the skincare revolution occurring lately, we should be glad to the internet gods for making us see the importance of the holy skincare routines. And while we are on that topic, how can we miss the Holy Grail of Skincare as deemed by the internet Gods — Vitamin C.

Now, hear me out. Cleansing — Toning –Moisturizing. Very last season. Now we have 7 and 11 steps morning and night routines. While those routines must be wonderful, let’s not forget a very important step that changed the skincare game — Serums.

Face serum offers a bigger dose of active ingredients than a moisturizer or a cleanser to the skin. It is lighter, highly concentrated and takes lesser time to show results on the skin. Since it works quickly, it needs to be applied first after cleansing your skin.

But to retain the serum on the skin and seal it to maximise the benefits, a moisturizer or face serum should be applied over it. Face serums are extremely vital for our skin barrier — they help minimize the appearance of pores and increase cell turnover, protect your skin barrier, and keep your skin firm, hydrated and beautiful.

Among several benefits of face serum, some important ones to be counted can be:

· Serums are lighter skin care formulations with a thin consistency, so they get absorbed more easily into the skin, hence making them an ideal first step in the layering process.

· Serums are a good choice for people with sensitive skin who suffer from acne or have oily skin types.

· It helps prevent damage from ultraviolet light and pollution, reducing the chances of premature skin ageing, wrinkles and fine lines.

· It gets absorbed quickly and doesn’t leave any heavy or greasy residue.

But again, there are not one but so many serums in the market — so many to choose from. While the search is never ending, a few always stand out. One such is the Vitamin C face serum from Detoxie. Along with the benefits of vitamin C, this serum has a lot of other beneficial ingredients, such as Japanese matcha which has methylxanthines which help stimulate microcirculation in the skin- this, in turn, promotes healthy, radiant skin while supporting an even plus healthy complexion.

Along with this, it has Hyaluronic Acid which improves skin texture while reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, it has Retinol, which increases collagen production making skin look supple and youthful. Moringa and Vitamin E, are famous for their nourishing and anti-ageing properties. It has a high concentration of nutrients that penetrate the skin to give the perfect hydration for glowing skin. It is completely natural, free of Paraben and Sulphate. It is suitable for all skin types.

Direction for use:

Always cleanse your face first with a face wash. Put a few drops on your fingers and gently massage with 1 or 2 fingers, so as to not waste the oil on your hand, till absorbed. When applied during the day, it should cover the face, neck and back of the hands — areas most prone to ageing. For best results, follow up with a day cream. When used at night, use it before going to bed to give it the maximum time to work its magic on your skin.
