What is the use of the base lotion? What is the difference between the base lotion and the essence?

Essence buds are a kind of skin care product. With this skin care product, we can better protect our skin. So what is the use of essence buds and what is the effect?

What is the base lotion used for?

Essence = essence or lotion. "Essence" is a unique word invented by Chinese merchants. In fact, looking at the ingredients and formulas of many essences, they are just lotions and essences.

What is serum?

Essence essence is a new product derived from essence in recent years. It is a basic skin care product that can soften our stratum corneum and help the absorption of subsequent products.

Many of the skin care products we use in our daily lives, such as whitening, anti-oxidation, and anti-wrinkle products, must allow the active ingredients to enter the epidermis or even the dermis of the skin if we want them to play their due effects.

However, when our skin is drier, the cuticle becomes hard, and oily ingredients or large molecules are difficult to be absorbed. It's like a sponge that has become stiff. No matter how much nutrients you add to it, it will not help.

Ding ding ding! ! ! At this time, the essence should come out to help you solve skin problems. The essence can soften the cuticle, so that when we use other skin care products, the nutrients can penetrate deeper into the skin more easily.

Simply put, the purpose of essence serum is to help our skin better absorb the effective ingredients in skin care products, just like the "appetizer" at the beginning of a skin care feast!

Not all fairies need to use essence.

If one day you suddenly find that your skin care products are not absorbed well and easily become "muddy" after use, and the skin care products are all sticky on your face, then you need a foundation lotion at this time.

On the contrary, if the skin has good absorption ability and no matter what texture of skin care products can be quickly absorbed by the skin, then you can actually skip the step of applying the base lotion.

If you have skin that lacks elasticity, has disordered texture, has ineffective skin care effects, or has dry and rough skin, you can try using a base lotion to improve your skin condition.

Our skin is divided into the stratum corneum and the basal layer. In order to protect the girls' skin, the stratum corneum needs to complete the process of natural shedding and regeneration within 28 days. The basal layer is the innermost layer of the epidermis and is where melanin is formed. If too much melanin is synthesized here, it will lead to pigmentation deposition in the skin, causing spots or uneven skin tone. (Do you know that our basal layer is not easy to mess with? If you don’t protect it well, I will make you get spots!

So what is the effect of the base lotion? , it will provide nutrients to your malnourished cells, make your skin more vibrant and immune, and make your subsequent products more effective. To put it bluntly, when your skin is drier, it will be difficult for you to replenish moisture. So how can you replenish moisture into your skin? You have to open the door to it and open the stratum corneum. At this time, the essence base will be very useful.

When to use?

There are always many people who think that essence must be the pre-essence. Isn’t it said that good essence is used to open up the skin barrier? Actually, it is not. Please remember to read the instructions before using the product. Different brands have different usage orders. Some people prefer the one before the water, while others prefer the one after the water. But remember that the essence must be used before subsequent essences, creams and other products.

The essence is usually used in the second step of skin care products, that is, after cleansing.

The steps are: cleansing - base lotion - toner - essence - eye cream - lotion/cream

Some body essences will also be applied after toner. Ladies can treat them differently according to the specific products.

The difference between essence and serum

The essence is introduced into the skin to open the absorption channel, lay the foundation for subsequent maintenance, and promote the absorption of subsequent products. Essence is a product that provides intensive skin care and replenishes skin nutrition.

Therefore, the essence and serum can be said to be good friends fighting side by side. The essence and serum are combined with the serum, and the two products complement each other and promote each other to achieve the MAX effect. If you don’t use base lotion before using essence, your skin may only absorb a small amount of nutrients. Essence + essence are the best partners.

Does the serum really work?

Generally speaking, most essence lotions have strong hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, so no matter you have oily or dry skin, when using essence lotion, it will achieve good penetration, and then help subsequent skin care products to be better absorbed by the skin. Simply put, it is suitable for people whose skin lacks elasticity, has disordered texture, has poor skin care effects, has dry and rough skin, has a thick stratum corneum, or has a too thin stratum corneum. Does that mean that for people who don’t have any problems with their stratum corneum, it will be “useless”? Not necessarily. The condition of the skin is ever-changing, and the effect of skin care cannot be felt in a day or two. In order to "see" changes or effects, it is impossible to have obvious results without long-term persistence for 1, 2 or even 5 or 6 years.

Can it be used on acne-prone or sensitive skin?

Acne-prone skin is in the inflammation stage and its condition is extremely unstable. At this time, the skin needs sufficient rest and repair time, rather than blindly adding to the skin's condition. If used improperly, it will aggravate skin problems. For those who have acne-prone skin or close comedones, it is enough to choose a refreshing and burden-free moisturizing essence. People with acne-prone skin should focus on eliminating their acne first, and then consider whether they need a serum.

There are many situations in which sensitive skin types may occur, and in order to allow subsequent products to be better absorbed, the base lotion will usually have a "clearing" effect on the skin cells first. Simply put, in order to make you eat more, you may be kept hungry for a longer time, but people who are intolerant to hunger will definitely not be able to hold on for long (the same is true for people with hypoglycemia). But it doesn’t mean that it cannot be used, it just requires more caution in choosing.

What is the base lotion used for?

It depends on the skin care products you use. Many toners have the effect of essence-based lotion, so you don’t need to use essence-based lotion again. Products like Japanese Rice Flower Skin Toner, Mitsui Toner, Naboka Toner, etc. all have the effect of skin base lotion.

Generally speaking, if a skin care set does not have a base lotion, then its toner formula usually contains this effect.
