Spring is here and that means it’s time to transition out of winter skincare products and focus on those that are lightweight and non-greasy. Every redhead should incorporate serums and oils into their beauty routine. They are super hydrating and a great foundation for maintaining moisture, while providing an amazing glow.
First, let’s lay down the difference between the two:
-Facial oil is extracted from plants and herbs and add hydration to the skin. Great for those with sensitive, dry skin types.
-Serum contain less oil and have very concentrated properties; i.e. tones, brightens, works with fine lines and wrinkles, etc. They tend to absorb quickly into the skin.

How to incorporate facial oils and serums in your routine:
1. After cleansing, add 2 drops of the serum or oil to the palms of your clean fingers and rub together. Remember: a little goes a long way.
2. Gently apply throughout your face and neck. You can follow with your daily moisturizer or leave it out, this depends on how your skin feels. Wait about 10 minutes before applying your makeup.
