Often the serums that you buy in perfumery are already equipped with an applicator: sometimes it can be a real brush like mascara, other times a small spoon or a comb. If, on the other hand, you want to apply an oil or vaseline, pour a few drops on your fingers, warm the product by rubbing your fingertips, then proceed with the application with a gentle massage. The extra tips:
- You will further stimulate hair growth by rubbing the product on the eyebrows for at least 1 or 2 minutes.
