In this video I’m focusing on my favorite hydrating serums for glowing skin—especially as we move into fall and winter and my mature skin needs that extra “big drink of water.” I also quickly clarify the difference between hydration (putting water into the skin) and moisturization (sealing it in). For hydration, I’m looking for true hydrators like water/hydrosols, plus humectants (like glycerin, aloe, and even lactic acid) to help the skin hold onto that water. I share several options across price points, from mid-range to eco-luxe. I talk texture (I love those runny, drenching serums), key ingredients, and how everything layers under skincare and makeup—no pilling issues with my picks. I also mention why some formulas work beautifully in the morning, while others (like a lactic acid serum) are better saved for nighttime. And at the end, I included details on a Merit giveaway with brand-new, unopened products—plus how to enter (subscribe, like, comment, and leave your IG handle or email).
