Hello Serums: Introducing Your New Best Friends think hit show Girlfriends...Now GO!




What are serums? Serums are concentrated liquid ingredients for the skin designed to penetrate and treat various skin conditions. These serums are composed of many small molecules and help deliver potent ingredients straight to your skin allowing them to soak in all the vitamins and minerals. You can use serums for preventative care and not just treating a current issue. In your daily facial/skincare ritual you would apply a serum right after you cleanse and tone the skin and before add moisturizer. However it is important to note that serums go on before sheet masks and moisturizers but not necessarily before mud masks, exfoliants and essences. I love serums and in fact, I have a whole skincare fridge of them.



But before I go into detail about them I would like to introduce four different serums offered by Blyssombyshapel.


I want you think of hit show Girlfriends. Four super powerhouses within their own right and each possessing a unique style.


Oh but I do!



  1. -A serum for intense hydration

  2. -A serum for radiance and evening the complexion

  3. -A serum for anti-aging and firmness

  4. -A serum for bright eye contour and youthful eye area



These four serums address some for the most common skin concerns people have. I have found that these serums are excellent when used in tandem with the product line's cleanser, toner and moisturizer. Now these serums are each very special and I think now is the time to introduce what each serums does in a little bit more detail. Now shall we?


Blyssombyshapel's Pro-Repair Serum



This serum is an intense hydration machine. If your skin was looking a little life-less or dry, a couple of pumps give you an instantly plump and hydrated glow. Hyaluronic Acid is the superstar of this serum and coupled with floral notes of Rose it is sure to give your Divine Feminine side a true level up.( Men and other identified folk do not fret you can still use a rose scented serum! ) As it hydrates the skin using HA, a naturally occurring ingredient produced by our bodies, it uses moisture from the air to keep the skin plump and glowy. Chamomile, a popular botanical extract is excellent for sensitive skin and all skin types as it aims to calm the skin and is anti-inflammatory. It minimizes breakouts, wrinkles and helps fade out scars. Vitamin B5 is a natural hydrator known as a humectant, which stabilizes your skin's barrier function. Pretty much the hype man for hydration. Think of it as the person who is going to be like,"YES YES Y'ALL WE REALLY GET GLOWING AROUND HERE! I MEAN WE KEEPING IT HYDRATED! PLUMP AND SUPER DEWY , AIN'T A BETTER DUO ALIVE THAN ME AND MY GUY RIGHT HERE!" (*insert any hydrating ingredient as the guy right next to Provitamin B5*) Niacinamide also known as B3 (Hey B Family) is a water-soluble vitamin that works with the natural substances in your skin to help visibly minimize enlarged pores, tighten lax pores, improve uneven skin tone, soften fine lines and wrinkles, diminish dullness, and strengthen a weakened surface.



Blyssombyshapel's CC Serum + Vitamin C



This serum is a triple powerhouse filled literally with light! I am talking citrus stem cells, vitamin C and botanical citrus extracts. Total wake me up for skin that wants to look youthful and bright. This mighty serum is packed with antioxidants and everyone's little favorite Hyaluronic Acid. With two weeks use, customers are guaranteed to see an improvement in skin's elasticity. The yummy Hyaluronic Acid will provide a boost of hydration, while the energizing Vitamin C helps reduce the appearance of age spots, blemishes, and redness. Natural orange oil provides a citrus scent to your skin and uplift your mood. Our oil cleanser has orange oil also so it is great to use these products in synchrony. Orange oil boosts skin circulation. Do not fret unless you have a citrus allergy because this wonderful serum also has our calming botanical extract of Chamomile.


Blyssombyshapel's Wrinkle Recovery Serum



This serum may fool you. Let me tell you why. So the secret about these #AmazingFour serums is that you can use them to prevent and maintain. Okay it is not a secret because I mentioned it earlier. However do not pass up on this particular gem because there is one ingredient that can root, I mean rock your world in the best way possible. Retinol. Better know as Vitamin A. Tastily know naturally as Carrot Root. Blyssombyshapel's WRS contains .5% Retinyl Palmitate and CoQ10, which reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots(again). Don't forget Bakuchiol( blog on this in near future!) ...yes this serum has two anti-aging powerhouses. This particular formula contains our botantical beauty of Chamomile extract and Carrot extract to counterbalance potential irritation resulting from using a retinol treatment. You will experience revitalized skin and softness like no other and brightness competition with the sun.


Blyssombyshapel's Eye Corrector Serum



This serum was made for Shapel lol. Let me tell you all I be working like I know we all be! Sometimes that causes me to feel like I have deep dark circles within my eye contour and puffy eyes. Sometimes I get the sleep I need and deserve and then sometimes I grind. I am still working this balance out if you feel me. Thank the Most High for this serum that targets the fine lines and corrects the imperfections such as minimizing the appearance of creases, dark circles, and puffiness around the eyes. The triple peptides in this serum activate surface renewal to address the concerns commonly found in more mature skin or skin showing signs of stress and immense environmental wear and tear. These proteins result in visibly thicker and tighter skin around the eyes. So no more sallow and hollow looking skin that appears saggy instead this advanced serum also helps to give an illuminance to reduce the appearance of dark circles. Triple peptides help to stimulate the skin to produce collagen. Thanks to its antibacterial and antifungal properties, Bergamot Essential Oil is a natural cleanser. It's particularly good for oily skin, helping to unclog pores and balance sebum levels.


So that you have the inside scoop on your new girlfriends don't forget to take them out now!


xoxo,

Shapel
