How to Use Mulberry Extract for Brightening
Mulberry extract works best in serums applied to clean skin twice daily, followed by moisturizer and mandatory SPF during the day.
- Choose the right concentration. Look for products with 2-5% mulberry extract for daily use. Higher concentrations exist but start low to test your skin's tolerance.
- Apply to clean, dry skin. Use mulberry extract serums after cleansing but before moisturizer. Pat gently into skin rather than rubbing to avoid irritation.
- Layer properly. Follow with a hydrating moisturizer to prevent dryness. Mulberry extract can be layered with other brightening ingredients like vitamin C, but introduce slowly.
- Protect with SPF. Always use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ during the day when using any brightening ingredient. Mulberry extract makes skin more sensitive to UV damage.
