Should I apply cream or serum first? I'm sure you know.

Before, I only knew the order of using three skin care products: lotion, lotion and cream. Now there is an additional product called essence. Should I use essence or cream first? Which product is used first?

Should I apply cream or serum first?

Apply serum first and then cream, which is the last step in the skin care process. Generally speaking, essence is used after water. The correct skin care order is cleansing first, then toner, essence, lotion, face cream, and eye cream. Essence should be used after toner and before lotion because it contains more nutrients and is more concentrated.

Correct skin care steps

Cleansing

The first step in the correct skin care process should be cleansing. Only when the cleansing is done well can the subsequent skin care products be better absorbed. You can take a soybean-sized amount of mild cleansing product on the palm of your hand, then wet it with clean water, rub your hands together to create foam, then apply the foam evenly on your face, gently massage in circles for about 30-60 seconds, and rinse it off with clean water.

Skin care water

The second step of skin care is to apply skin care water, because skin care water can play a secondary cleansing role. Babies can take a piece of cotton pad, pour the lotion on it, and then gently wipe the facial skin with the cotton pad. Alternatively, you can directly pour the lotion into the clean palm of your hand, then gently pat your palm onto your face to promote absorption of the lotion.

Eye Cream

Although eye cream is the third step of skin care, babies must not forget it, because the skin around the eyes is the easiest to reflect a person's age. Babies can wait until the skin care water is completely absorbed, squeeze out a soybean-sized amount of eye cream, lightly tap it on the skin around the eyes, then gently press it open, and then gently massage from the inside to the outside to promote the absorption of the eye cream.

Essence

Essence is generally used as the fourth step of skin care. After the eye cream is absorbed, you can pour an appropriate amount of essence into the palm of your hand, then apply the essence evenly on the face, and gently massage to promote absorption. After applying the essence, you can also rub your hands together and apply them gently on your face to promote the absorption of the essence.

Lotion or cream

In fact, the last step of skin care can be lotion or cream. After the essence is completely absorbed, babies can apply an appropriate amount of lotion or cream on the face according to their skin needs, and then gently massage to promote absorption. It’s just that the texture of the lotion is more watery and refreshing to use, making it more suitable for oily skin. The cream has a thicker texture and is more moisturizing to use, so it is more suitable for babies with dry skin.
