Do I need to use cream after using essence? Don’t make the mistake of morning and night skin care.

Essence has more targeted skin care effects and can be said to be the most worthy of budget investment in skin care products. So when our skin is dry, do we still need to use cream after using essence? In fact, the skin care routines in the morning and evening are different. Let’s decipher it together below!

Do I need to use cream after using essence?

If you go out during the day, you can use lotion after using the essence. The cream is relatively thick and is more suitable for use during night skin care after the essence is absorbed. Using facial cream at night will have a better moisturizing effect. The reason why it is not recommended to use cream after essence when going out during the day is mainly to avoid the problem of rubbing mud from subsequent skin care and makeup. Of course, if your skin is particularly dry, you can still use a facial cream that doesn’t easily rub into mud after using the essence during your morning skin care routine.

What is the correct order for skin care?

Morning Skincare

The general order of morning skin care is: cleansing → toner → essence → lotion/cream → sunscreen

The main principle is to apply the texture from light to thick. Eye cream is more flexible and can be applied at any step after toner. It mainly depends on the personal preferences of the fairies.

Night skin care

The order of night skin care is: makeup remover + cleanser → toner → eye cream → essence → face cream (or beauty oil/lotion). In addition, you can exfoliate once a week and use a facial mask 1-2 times as needed.

It should be noted that you don’t have to use makeup remover oil every day. If you don’t use hard-to-remove makeup and only use base makeup products, you only need to use makeup remover milk to remove your makeup. For the eyes and lips, you can use a mild makeup remover. Afterwards, just wash it off with clean water, no need to use facial cleanser for cleaning. If you only use sunscreen, you only need to use amino acid cleanser to clean half of the face. If the sunscreen is highly waterproof, a mild makeup remover is generally sufficient and you don't need to use a cleansing product afterwards.

Not every step in the skin care sequence is necessary

For youthful skin, many steps are not necessary. Because the most basic order of skin care is: cleansing + lotion + sunscreen. By completing these three steps, you can provide the most basic skin care needs.
