Should I apply lotion or essence first? Many people apply it the wrong way.

I know you must have seen countless skin care orders. Some say it’s this way, some say it’s that way, and you don’t know who to believe. So, today I plan to talk about the principle of whether to apply lotion or essence first when applying skin care products.

Should I apply lotion or essence first?

Use essence first and then lotion. The texture of essence is thinner than lotion, and the concentration of nutrients it contains is higher than lotion, so it is easier to be absorbed by the skin. Therefore, using essence after using toner can promote the skin's absorption of the essence and ensure that the essence reaches the bottom layer of the skin. Emulsion has the function of moisturizing and locking in moisture. When used after essence, it can deeply moisturize and form a protective film on the surface of the skin.

The right steps for skin care

Toner

After washing your face, you should apply toner to your facial skin within one minute, because the skin's water absorption capacity is the strongest at this time, which can effectively hydrate the skin and keep it hydrated. Remember, it is more conducive to absorption by "patting" rather than "rubbing".

Essence

Most of the ingredients in essence serum are both hydrophilic and lipophilic, which can break down the moisture and oil in skin care products at the same time, and then be better absorbed by the skin. At the same time, it is formulated with ingredients that soften and moisturize cuticles, making it easier for the cuticle to absorb subsequent care ingredients.

Essence

Essence is the best among skin care products, which can be inferred from its name alone. Its ingredients are very delicate and its effect on the skin is quite significant. It has become an essential step in skin care. Especially in the dry autumn, this step cannot be skipped.

Eye Cream

It is well known that eye cream can reduce dark circles and eye bags, but its effectiveness in improving wrinkles and fine lines may be less known. Therefore, it is recommended not to skip this step. We would like to remind everyone that the skin around the eyes is relatively fragile, so when applying eye cream, you must rub it gently so as not to damage the skin.

Lotion or cream

The skin not only needs to be hydrated, but also needs to lock in moisture. The work of hydrating has been completed in the first step by applying toner, and applying lotion or cream is the work of locking in moisture. This step must not be skipped, because if you only replenish moisture without locking it in, the moisture replenished to the skin's surface will quickly be lost, and all your efforts will end in failure.
