If you get a little overwhelmed when you hear the word serum, you’re not alone. But, turns out, serums are not as complicated as you think.

Simply put, serum is a super-concentrated liquid that gives the skin a burst of active ingredients to help improve its appearance. From brightening and hydrating, to supporting sensitive skin or reducing the signs of lines and wrinkles, consider adding a serum to your daily skin care routine this year.

I recently discovered a new local skin care line called Beauty Codes, by Kristy Livingston. I’ve been using her New Beginnings Daily Cleanser as well as Shed the Day Cleansing Oil and Makeup Remover. I really enjoy how they both products make my skin feel.

The best and most unique part of her skin care line is that each bottle has a QR code on the label, linking you to a guided meditation that enhances your skin care ritual.

Beauty Codes Light Worker Vitamin C Serum.

How to Use: Kristy recommends applying 4-6 drops onto your fingertips, allowing the warmth of your hands to activate the serum. Gently smooth it over your face, allow the serum to absorb fully. For optimal results, use in the morning before moisturizer.

So, if you’re looking for ways to up level your skin care routine, you can’t go wrong with serum.
