Skin Always Feeling Dry? These Are The Ultra-Hydrating Serums Mature Women Should Use If Your Moisturizer Is ‘No Longer Cutting It’

Ever experienced that radiant, post-facial glow where your skin feels deeply hydrated, supple, and nourished? In a captivating new TikTok video, celebrity makeup artist and beauty expert Erica Taylor introduces four “hydrating” serums designed to replicate these revitalizing effects for women over 40.
These serums target common issues faced by mature women, such as dark under-eyes, fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and an overall dull and tired look. According to Taylor, they are particularly effective when your moisturizer alone just isn’t doing the trick anymore.
“As we mature, sometimes the regular moisturizers are just no longer cutting it and you feel like, ‘I’m putting my moisturizer on, but my skin always feels dry,'” Taylor acknowledged. Serums are important, she stressed, as they work as “the catalyst that will pull the moisture and everything a little bit deeper.” In her above video, the TikTok creator went on to say that “serums penetrate a little deeper than a basic moisturizer, which can create just a barrier.”
She further elaborated that selecting a serum containing hyaluronic acid can be especially advantageous for mature women. “Hyaluronic acid is pretty much a moisture binder. It carries like 200 times its amount in water and binds moisture and emollients to the skin.” Taylor continued: “This is naturally found in our joints in our body. As we mature, we don’t make as much hyaluronic acid, so it is the bare minimum serum that can be used to enhance anyone’s moisture levels.”
