HOW TO USE COLLAGEN SERUM?

Collagen is the buzzword among skinfluencers as well as celebrities, these days. However, this magic potion is more than just a buzzword. Collagen is the one stop solution for all your age-related skin issues. From wrinkles to fine lines, from saggy skin to skin dryness, collagen, especially in the form of serum, fixes them all. 

What is a collagen serum? 

While human bodies produce collagen that helps in keeping skin supple and joints healthy, post mid-twenties the production of collagen reduces before eventually stopping. This is where collagen serums and collagen peptides come in to play. While the latter is taken in the form of ingestion, the former is a topical skincare treatment, which is much more preferable and convenient. Collagen serum is a skincare product that is applied after cleansing and toning and before moisturizing. This aids your body to produce necessary collagen that is required to keep your face youthful, skin supple, and your overall look glowing. 

How to use collagen serum? 

Collagen serum can be used just like any other face serum. However, if you are a beginner, here is our four-step guide on how to apply collagen serum to your face. 

Step One: Cleanse the face with a gentle cleanser and lightly pat dry. If needed use a physical or chemical exfoliation.

Step Two: Gently apply toner or face mist on to your face either using a spray bottle or using cotton pads, avoiding the eye area. 

Step Three: While your face is still a little bit moist, take a collagen serum of your choice, like Sonage’s Vegan Collagen Boosting Serum into your hand and apply the serum to your face and neck. You can either apply it in circular motion on to your skin or use ice globes to make the serum get absorbed better on to your skin. Now, let the serum dry for 4-5 minutes. Do not rinse off the serum. In case you are layering your serums, go from lightest to the heaviest, don’t layer more than three serums at a time, and leave 3-5 minutes gap between each serum. 

Step Four: Finish your skincare regime with moisturizer and sunscreen in the day and a night cream in the night. 

While some people prefer to apply collagen only once a day, it is highly advisable to apply it twice a day, i.e. in the mornings as well as in the nights.
