The world of face serums can be an overwhelming space. Serums tackle everything you can think of when it comes to the look of your complexion (which we’ll go over). Typically lighter and more concentrated than a moisturizer, a serum is one of those must-haves in your skin care routine. Let’s look at some top ingredients that an excellent multitasking serum for all skin types might contain.
Science-y and Skin Rejuvenating: Barley Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF)
Let’s look at an ingredient you may not know much about: plant-based Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) made from barley plants. Your skin naturally produces EGF, but it decreases over time. Thankfully, scientists have found a way to create a plant-based EGF from barley plants, the first of its kind, as an anti-aging secret weapon. This innovative ingredient is a moisture-binding signaling protein that supports your skin’s natural collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin production. A potent barley EGF serum is ideal for combatting the visible signs of aging skin.
Underrated But Effective: Glycerin
Humectants are skin care ingredients that attract water to the skin. Glycerin is an excellent humectant for pulling moisture into the skin, making it look plumper, smoother, and more hydrated. You may notice a diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as a result. Glycerin in the right amount can enhance the absorption of other active ingredients in your serum as well. The hydrating function of glycerin is key to an effective serum. Did you also know that glycerin has an antimicrobial effect on the skin and works to protect your skin against irritation? Glycerin doesn’t get the attention it deserves!
Well-Loved for a Reason: Hyaluronic Acid
Humectants like glycerin and hyaluronic acid are powerhouses in a hydrating serum. Most everyone knows about hyaluronic acid, perhaps the most well-known humectant. It’s a vital substance found naturally in the skin and essential for maintaining skin hydration. In particular, hyaluronic acid is known for its incredible ability to hold vast amounts of moisture, up to 1,000 times its own weight in water. Topically applied hyaluronic acid is optimal for hydrating and plumping the look of skin.
To boost the benefits of your serum, consider also using a hydrogel mask with hyaluronic acid and glycerin. Facial masking weekly is an excellent way to help your skin retain moisture and look and feel soft and smooth.
H2O—But Not Just Any Water: Pure, Lava-Filtered Water
You’ll often see water listed as one of the first ingredients in skin care products. Water is necessary for all parts of life, including visibly healthy, beautiful skin. But wouldn’t you like to know more about where your water comes from? Seek out products with geologically filtered water through layers of inert volcanic lava. Clean and pure volcanic water ensures a low concentration of hard minerals (like calcium and magnesium). Geologically filtered water leaves it extremely pure and soft on the skin, making it less likely to cause irritation. The right concentration of water in a formula works well with other carefully-chosen ingredients to ensure optimal hydration.
