Facial care steps Basic facial care sequence

Many skin care novices have said that they don’t quite understand the correct facial care steps. The correct order of facial skin care should follow the principle of water first, then other things, and refreshing first, then moisturizing. Let's learn the correct steps of facial care today~

Facial care steps

The general order of morning skin care is: cleansing, then toner, then essence, then lotion/cream, and finally sunscreen. The order of night skin care is: remove makeup, then cleanse, then toner, then eye cream, then essence and finally face cream or beauty oil/lotion. In addition, you can exfoliate once a week and use a facial mask 1-2 times as needed.

Is it necessary to use a set of skin care products?

You don't have to use the same set of skin care products, but using lotions and emulsions from the same series of the same brand makes things easier. If you don't have time to consider how to match the skin care products, you can use the same set of skin care products. When researching and developing the same set of products under the same brand, each product’s characteristics will be taken into consideration to complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses.

How to choose facial cleanser according to your skin

1. Dry skin

It is best not to use foaming facial cleansers. You can use some cleansing oils, cleansing creams or non-foaming facial cleansers. Currently, cleansing oil products are found in some mid- to high-end products because compared to cleansing creams, these products feel more refreshing on the skin. People with dry skin should also try to choose moisturizing cleansing products to avoid drying out the skin.

2. Neutral skin

Generally, you can just choose some foaming facial cleansers, which will make your skin feel moisturized and not tight after washing. Of course, in autumn and winter, when your skin feels drier, you can also use some foam-free facial cleansers instead, because some foam-free facial cleansers have been improved and are not as difficult to rinse off as before.

3. Combination skin

This type of skin has an oily T-zone, while the cheeks are generally neutral, so this type of skin needs to strike a balance between the T-zone and the cheeks. You cannot only consider cleaning the T-zone and choose products with very strong fat-removing ability, especially in autumn and winter. In autumn and winter, because the oil secretion is not so strong, you can switch to an ordinary foam facial cleanser.

4. Oily skin

Oily skin secretes more oil than the average person, so you need to choose products with stronger cleansing ability, usually soap products. Because soap products have strong degreasing power and are easy to rinse off, your skin feels very refreshed after washing.

Do I need to wash after using the essence?

There is no need to wash off after using the essence, because the essence is a colorless and transparent skin care product. As long as it is a suitable essence, it will not cause acne or allergies when used on the face. On the contrary, the essence can only play the corresponding skin care effect if it stays on the face properly. However, if you experience symptoms such as burning and stinging sensations, or sudden redness of your skin after using this essence, it means that this essence is not suitable for you. You need to rinse your face with warm water immediately and then dry your face with a towel.
