Our Favorite Serums To Help Rejuvenate Your Skin
Serums are potent and powerful elixirs of beauty that everyone should have in their skincare arsenal. They are supercharged potions of skincare with the sole purpose of giving your skin a boost of glow, hydration, nourishment and protection. Often designed to be used during night as it’s the time when your skin heals, repairs and preps itself for the next day. Because serums do offer so much and have amazing ingredients that do wonders on your skin, they do tend to have a higher price despite the fact that they usually come quite small. Bear in mind that this isn’t the beauty companies way of being stingy as you only need a few drops of that beauty elixir each night so they actually tend to go a long way. We’ve rounded up our picks of the best serum which are worth every penny and will be sure to rejuvenate (and much more) your skin.
1. Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate
This facial oil is infamous and has been around for ages. Its job is to visibly restore the skin overnight and give it a wondrous appearance by morning, and it certainly does what it says on the tin (or in this case, glass bottle). Kiehl’s has formulated their Concentrate with distilled botanicals including lavender essential oil, evening primrose oil and squalene.

2. Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair
Another cult favourite, for good reason, is the ANR as now it is sometimes called. Whilst one of its main claims is to reduce the look of all key signs of ageing, this does not mean that this serum is exclusively for more mature skin. One of the best skincare tips out there is to start the prevention of ageing fairly young, probably around the start of your twenties. Whilst this may seem premature and unnecessary, the best way to treat signs of ageing is to prevent them instead of getting them and attempting to treat those signs after. ANR’s other claims are to help hydrate dryness and dehydration, treat dullness and loss of radiance and to tone the skin.
