I put it on my finger tips, let it drop without the nozzle touch my finger, then apply on face. Those stuff are expensive. I'm not into wasting money. 😅
@@rdzy123 just drop it on your face then but honestly you do you. For me i cant afford to waste a drop😭 skincare be too expensive to waste it. Been dropping it directly on my face for yearsss and there has never been an issue with it.
Also reminder: If you’re planning on layering skincare, Make sure it is lightweight lol. If it’s got a thick texture then it’s probably heavyweight and it’s honestly not the best for layering.
I So agree with the rubbing the serum between your fingers to "warm it up" so it applies more evenly.... never understood why people do this because I don't have the money to WASTE a single drop of product when you can just rub it into the skin on your face which provides the same exact "effect. " I see people take their foundation and rub it on the back of their hand before applying to the face as well. So many do this, but for me, it's SO WASTEFUL!!
Also, after taking it on your fingertip don't start massaging in one place. Spread the serum by tapping your fingertip in multiple places then massage.
@@corn69420blazeyolo better be safe than sorry, especially when you have sensitive skin like me, you need to take extra care with your face or else, it'll become red and itchy 😖
1. The 'ingredients' he described is called preservatives, he may be avoiding this word because people usually would be fearful of this as it can possess 'health risks', but in product formulations its actually vital to preserve the shelf life of a product. Mentioning the word preservative i think is vital here, because people can misunderstand this and think that their homemade DIY made using food skincare products contain them as well. But for good measure, avoid placing the dropper on the face but if you did its not a big problem 2. true this just makes u want to use more product because theres more surface area to cover. Although putting droplets and droplets onto the finger is kinda tedious and may spill the product, instead i would put the drops on the back of your cleaned hands and pick up drops by drops and massaging it into the skin per area. Although with runnier consistencies, i would just drop them on my face directly. 3. Absolute no no. You dont even know what would react when both products are mixed together. One possible occurence is that the active ingredient within both serums would get very diluted, as products usually have carrier ingredients in them that do lots of other things to help the actives function and when two serums mixed, the carrier ingredients also mix and therefore dilutes the actives even more (considering they havent been canceled out or deactivated as they could react with each other in some ways). Layer them, usually by consistency, thin to thick. It reduces the chance for the actives to get cancelled out or deactivated, and the carrier ingredients are usually used up or penetrated into the skin already.
As for third myth, it's actually work for meee like soooooo good. A serum cocktail is so much look good for my skin. I mix cocktail of 3% tranexamic acid and 10% niacinamide acid. When I layer this serum I don't know why kinda looks dull or grey for me but if it's a cocktail it gives brightness......😭 What to do? 👀💗
Depends on the types of serums, generally we aren't supposed to mix all serums together and then apply it. Layering is the way to go. I'd recommend reading an article on it or maybe like this combo is meant for a serum cocktail
I think it's just product compatibility. They're all actives and some actives can be safely mixed while others can't. And the lay man can;t know which ones can and can't be mixed so to prevent f'ing around finding out, most people would have to use them individually lol
I used the second technique and I don't think it wasting my money, because my hands were very dry 😭 Atleast the scincare for my face would also give a benefit for my dry hand
Muy buenas recomendaciones, gracias.Noté que la palma de sus manos están blancas, pero con algunos productos (protectores solares color , o Vit C con Ferulic ,tinturan las falanges distales y el borde de las palma de las manos,sin sintomas , hay que enjuagar muy rápido y energicamente para que desaparezca , a otras dermatologas se las e visto enrojecidas también, pregunto 🙄será que uso guantes? 😁no les pasa?
I make my own hyalauronic acid, with distilled water, and preservative. I purchase a 4-5 oz plastic bottle, w/ flip top, and sanitize it with alcohol before using. It's only about $1.49 for the bottle.
I never rub any of my skincare especially serum on my palm, I just use it directly on my face. It’s true. What a waste of money if the serum gets into your hand more and not your face.
@@leslie-annmills-gomez8763 of course they operate differently at the spa. The products they use are shared. U never know what disease a stranger is carrying. Meanwhile for ur personal skincare it doesnt matter if you put the dropper on your (clean) face.
Nah the droplet is not supposed to be used directly on skin, so even though the serum is stabilized and it contains preservatives, it's only formulated to be stable when used accordingly, not when used in direct contact with the skin.
Eh i have acne prone and ive been dropping it on face for years and there’s no problem. If you wash your face beforehand it’s already clean. Again, the ingredients are stabilised.
@@trash0175It might be ok for some people but not for everyone,if you don't have active pimples then it might be safe but if you have active pimples I definitely don't recommend it because it might not be hygienic enough .
My mother does the droplet to the finger tips because, She ain't taking the chances on contamination from skin contact (although she does clean her face before hand and etc), also cause if she drops it right to her face it might just slide off. About the serum mixing, she applies 1, let it dry and apply the next one, probably to avoid any unwanted reactions between serums (which might be why it could cause irritation like he said). Haven't seen her do her skin care routine since I'm out of city and outta the country, but anyway I should probably start more seriously with my skin care for myself, since like 2019 my mother gave me some serum to help with my acne which was caused by stress and probably exposure to chemicals, not directly ofc, but the fumes (from chem lab). I'm a guy but because she, being my step mother who cares more about me than my bio-mom, has influenced me to want to take care of my body more. (Though between my brothers I'm already a little hygiene freak at times) Anyway, now that I have a Gf I really should put the effort into it, I remember that mother applied some skincare to my dad's face, so wouldn't it be nice if I can do it by myself?, but right now I should start from sunscreens, cause the sun rays do be intense (now that I think about it, the slight tingling sensation might be some UV shenannigans going on my skin ).
Touching the dropper on your face breaks down the preservative system due to it having to work harder to prevent the bacterial growth, from my understanding, leading to a shorter shelf life. It's a no from me.
The first one made me feel better. I always feel a tinge of guilt when i put the dropper on my face. But it's the only way that works for me with certain serums! I feel better now, thank you 😭💕
I agree with u but I wanna share my experience which is opposite 😂 I used to apply serum directly to my face which lead side effects due to i face itching and dryness as well irritation but it’s been a few months I started applying face serum with my palms and it worked really well for me coz i got really sensitive skin I can’t use any problem i got like baby skin so i have to think twice before using any product but luckily I always apply beauty products on my face with my palms it worked for me always 😊i am just sharing my experience not judging doctors
Damn, I've been doing a serum smoothie cocktail for quite some time now... With all the serums I use, it'd take me 30 minutes to go through all of them!
Yea but its still best to avoid putting on your face just incase the serum doesnt have the stuff to prevent growth of bacteria... Better safe than sorry tbh.
Still the idea of touching the dropper onto ur face somehow seems unhygienic as much as putting ur fingers inside the tub of moisturizer. But going by science, I'm led to believe it actually doesnt spoil the products which hv potent preservatives to maintain a given shelf life.
That "warm on your hand first" gets me all the time LOL I mean, warm it on your face if it's all about that. Why waste lots of the product in the wrong place.l?
I always feel bad when people on the internet says to not have skin contact with dropper because I personally do it to avoid product wastage, thanks for this

I never understood why people put product on your palms it makes much more sense to use your finger tips!
Exactly. And for some reason i seen it a lot done by influencers, they really just waste their products on camera
I do this on palm because sometimes when i put it on the tip of my fingers the liquid fall off 😂
Palms makes applying faster. I just put the serum in my palm squeeze it in with my other palm and push my palms all around my face
I put it on my finger tips, let it drop without the nozzle touch my finger, then apply on face. Those stuff are expensive. I'm not into wasting money. 😅

It's okay to mix some medical grade serums from the same brand. PCASkin or dermalogica, for example.

Use hand lotion that specifically made for dry hands?
Well, hand moisturizer / lotion could've been work better
I mean…………….sure.
Well if you keep having that issue maybe use a hand lotion, besides the serum isn't fit or made for the hands
Same with my skin1004 serums. I got the 55ml/100ml and I don't think I can use it all on my face alone. I want my hands to have the serums as well🤣

No touching the dropper 😥
Dude you are genius. I love you
I always drop serum on fingertips 😂😂😂
Haha . Ever since the dawn of serums,I have never ever wasted them on my palms!
I make my own hyalauronic acid, with distilled water, and preservative. I purchase a 4-5 oz plastic bottle, w/ flip top, and sanitize it with alcohol before using. It's only about $1.49 for the bottle.
Safe?
If you touch the face with the dropper, do you not still introduce your skin oils? Which can change the chemical composition of the serum?
I never rub any of my skincare especially serum on my palm, I just use it directly on my face. It’s true. What a waste of money if the serum gets into your hand more and not your face.

1 or 2 minutes heh
I always 10 to 20 sec 😂
As long as the first layer of serum is completely dry, you can apply the next serum
Depends on your skin and room temperature. Fast absorption is in front of the Air-Conditioner. 😅
