Double Decker Serum
Have you ever heard of a double decker serum before? The hydration of water with the moisturisation of oil. Like a two-in-one-shampoo-conditioner but it actually works!
Make Your Own Double Decker Serum, Super Hydrating Skincare
50% hyaluronic acid serum, 50% your favourite oil/oil based serum, 100% skin nourishing and time saving!
The broad spectrum preservative in the HA serum protects both water and oils which allows you to have the best of both worlds in one pretty bottle.
About hyaluronic acid (HA) serum
Hyaluronic acid is a molecule that can attract up to 1000 times its weight in water. It occurs naturally in the body and generally decreases with age, which is why most skin types – even oily and acne-prone skins – respond so well when it's introduced artificially. Because HA molecules are large, they can’t penetrate the deeper layers of the skin topically. They do have a temporary effect on the skin’s appearance though, drawing moisture to make it look plump and hydrated. We love hyaluronic acid serum for that reason - you can look noticeably fresh and youthful after one application!
Usually you would use hyaluronic acid (HA) serum before applying moisturiser or oil serum, because HA used on its own can dry out skin as its whole "thing" is to draw in moisture, if it's not getting it from outside it will draw the moisture from inside your skin and bring it to the surface. Hence why we want to give it a nourishing external source to draw from. That's where the glorious oils come in and do their job!

To use
How much to use: A little goes a long way! Just a few drops are usually enough, oils spread easily, so there’s no need to overdo it.
How to apply: For best results, gently pat the oil onto your skin instead of rubbing. Use your fingertips or softly press the oil into your skin with your palms.
Where to apply: Start at the middle of your face and work outward and upward. Don’t forget your neck and décolletage, they deserve some love too!
When to apply: Applying face oil is usually the last step, after your moisturiser or serum to lock in hydration. Layer it with serums or moisturisers to supercharge your hydration routine, for added nourishment. For an intensive treatment, apply it in the evening and let it work overnight.
How to customise: Got combination skin? Focus the oil on the dry areas while avoiding spots that tend to get oily.
How to massage: Use upward and outward motions to massage the oil into your skin. This helps relieve tension and encourages lymphatic drainage.
How to use with other products: Mix a few drops of face oil with your night cream for an extra dose of nourishment.
Feel free to experiment and tailor your face oil routine to what your skin loves most! 💛
