Whether your skincare routine consists of two products or 10, a hydrating serum is the one non-negotiable step every skin type can benefit from throughout summer.
Think of your serum as the main course in your skincare routine. Post cleansing, it's a way to deliver high concentrations of specific ingredients to the skin.
Usually in clear, gel-based or liquid form, serums can deliver hydration directly to thirsty skin prior to moisturising, which locks in all that hydrating goodness.
Here are five hydrating serums that'll help keep your skin's youthful glow and moisture levels up this summer:
BIOMIMIC Skincare Ultra Hydrator Advanced. From new Australian brand Biomimic this oil-free, lightweight formulation contains a powerful and potent combination of hyaluronic acid, vitamin B3, B5, and peptide complex to revive dehydrated skin and balance out your skin's pH levels.
