Why We Need Oil and Water Based Serums
Did you know your skin is naturally composed of both water and oils?
There is a barrier which is composed of a delicate balance of waters and lipids (fatty acids). These naturally help to protect your skin and regulate its moisture levels. When this barrier is threatened, your skin becomes more brittle and incapable of protecting itself, resulting in visible aggressions. Water helps to hydrate the skin whereas oil helps to moisturise dry skin. Rejuvenating Serum is water-based and is a potent formulation of hyaluronic acid, MSM, aloe vera and tripeptides; all important for dehydrated skin. ACE Vitamin C Serum is oil-based and formulated to keep away dry skin and help strengthen and protect the skin’s natural lipid barrier from external irritants.
Not only is finding the right balance of water and oil essential for maintaining your skin’s moisture barrier, but the right combination of both oil and water can also help stabilise and regulate oil levels. When your skin feels dry, it might produce more oil to compensate. When the skin is stripped of its natural oils through harsh cleansers or chemicals, the skin can freak out and overcompensate by producing even more oils. Our skin’s natural oils are essential—it’s all about maintaining balance.
MISMO's Anti-Ageing Bundle comprises of both a water phase and oil phase to best support your skin’s natural moisture barrier and achieve your best and healthiest complexion. The benefits of using both serums is that while Rejuvenating Serum will help restore hydration to deeper levels of the skin, ACE Vitamin C Serum will help lock in that moisture to prevent water loss and protect the skin with nourishing vitamins and essential fatty acids. Your skin needs both oil & water and it all comes down to balance.
