I'm sure many of you are already familiar with what each does, but I'm still here to provide a deeper understanding for those just starting out.  Serums have become a staple in most beauty routines, from hyaluronic acid solutions that reduce the appearance of wrinkles to vitamin Cs that help to promote a more even skin tone.

Hi, babes! Emma here, and let me introduce you to the new skin care trend you might have heard of by now as it's been all over TikTok, skin flooding.
