The order of essence and serum

The skin care products on the market nowadays are really dizzying. You just gritted your teeth and bought the essence, and now there is the essence lotion. Are these two skin care products the same? How to use essence and serum to achieve their effects? Let me give you a brief introduction below!

The order of essence and serum

Essence should be used before essence, and different essences are used in different ways. If it is a regular nourishing serum, you can use it after using toner and before using essence. If it is an infusion-type base lotion, it should be used directly after cleansing the skin.

The difference between essence and serum

Different order of usage: Generally speaking, the essence of essence lotion is a skin care product that lays a foundation for the skin. The pores of the skin can dilate as quickly as possible under the action of the essence lotion, so that subsequent skin care products can be effectively absorbed to the greatest extent. Therefore, the use of essence lotion is the third step in the skin care process, that is, after cleansing and toner, and before essence.

Different dosage: Regardless of the time and season, take 2 to 3 drops each time when using the base lotion. However, when applying essence, the amount used for each skin care in winter is usually slightly more than 1-2 drops in summer. Generally, 4-5 drops are enough each time, especially in areas where skin problems are more obvious, you can increase the amount moderately.

Suitable for different skin types: Most essences are mild in nature, so women with different skin types can basically use various essences to prepare the skin. As for essences, most of them are specially developed to target one or several skin problems. Therefore, when choosing, you should select according to your skin condition and skin type. Generally, moisturizing essences are suitable for dry skin, while refreshing essences are more suitable for oily skin.
