Should I use water or essence first? At which step should I use essence?

Use the essence after toner. After cleansing, the face will feel a little dry because it has just been cleaned. At this time, you should pat your face with toner first to replenish moisture for the skin in time and lock in the nutrients in the facial cleanser. At the same time, it can also play a role in re-cleansing. The base lotion is used after the toner to promote the absorption of the next skin care products. The toner has a light texture and can be absorbed by the skin itself, so it does not need the promotion of the base lotion. If their usage positions are swapped, the toner will lose its effect.

How to use the skin base lotion

Use the base lotion before lotion

After using the base lotion, the next skin care product to be used is lotion. The density of lotion is larger than that of toner. It is a milky skin care product. When used, it is absorbed slowly and takes a longer time. Using base lotion before lotion can help enhance the skin's absorption capacity, allowing the lotion to be absorbed better and faster by the skin, thereby exerting its greatest effect.

Use the serum before the essence

If you also want to use essence products, the order of using the essence lotion becomes: toner, essence, lotion, cream, etc. Essence contains extremely high nutrients and is relatively difficult to absorb, while essence can help open skin pores and deliver the nutrients in the essence to deep layers of the skin.

Use the serum before the mask

You can also apply a layer of base lotion before applying the mask. We know that facial masks contain extremely high nutrients and are effective quickly. A hydrating mask will immediately make your face moisturized, while a whitening mask will immediately make your face white. Before applying the mask, use base lotion to help the skin open its "appetite" so that the skin can better absorb the nutrients in the mask.

What should I pay attention to when using the base lotion?

1. As an auxiliary product, liquid is used to help the skin better absorb other skin care products. Therefore, it needs to rely on other skin care products. If the base liquid is used alone, its absorption-promoting effect will not exist, and it is no different from toner.

2. If the steps of using the essence are wrong, its main function - helping the skin absorb nutrients - will be wasted. Secondly, its secondary function of softening and moisturizing the cuticle will lose its meaning if it is used after other skin care products. At the same time, if the essence is used after lotion and cream, it is easy to accumulate on the surface of the skin, which will lead to inability to be absorbed or clogged pores, causing overnutrition of the skin and even the growth of fat particles.
