Eye cream first or lotion first?

The general order of morning skin care is cleansing, toner, eye essence, facial essence, eye cream, lotion/cream, and sunscreen. Apply in order of texture from light to thick. Eye cream is more flexible and can be applied at any step after toner. It all depends on personal preference.

The right steps for skin care

Cleansing is the basis of skin care, and this requires facial cleanser. The function is to clean the skin without damaging it. Choose one that is roughly suitable for you in terms of efficacy. As long as you feel comfortable using it and it washes clean without hurting your skin, it will be fine.

You can use foaming net, facial cleanser, face towel and other cleansing tools to wash your face. The choice of facial cleanser should be based on your skin type.

Girls with dry skin can use amino acid cleansing. Girls with oily skin can use soap-based cleansing. Girls with sensitive skin must use a mild and non-irritating amino acid cleanser!

There are many types of lotions and many names, such as astringent, toner, and activating water.

How to use: After cleansing, use toner as soon as possible and then pat your face. This can speed up blood circulation and promote faster absorption. If you have enough time, you can divide the basic amount into 2-3 times and gradually pat it onto the skin. This will achieve the best effect!

You can also wipe it with cotton pads, apply wet compresses, etc.

Wiping the face with a cotton pad soaked in lotion can achieve a secondary cleansing effect, which is suitable for girls with thicker and healthier skin stratum corneum.

Wet compress is suitable for girls of all skin types. The time should be controlled within about five minutes. It has a very good moisturizing effect, but it has its pros and cons. The only disadvantage is that it wastes too much water.

The eye area is a very special part. The skin here is very thin and fragile. If it is not properly cared for, the final result will be irreversible.

The role of eye essence is equivalent to applying a base to the eyes, which can help the absorption of subsequent eye cream

Eye essence only needs to be applied on the skin around the eyes.

When applying facial serum, avoid the eye area.

Facial essence is known as the best skin care product. Compared with lotion, essence has a higher concentration of active ingredients and is better absorbed. Of course, there are many types, including whitening essence, anti-aging essence, all-effect essence, pure hydrating essence, spot-lightening essence and so on.

Similarly, everyone can choose the essence products that suit them according to their skin needs.

Step 5: Apply eye cream

Eye cream only needs to be applied on the skin around the eyes. You don’t need to use too much, just an amount the size of two grains of rice will do.

There are many types of eye creams, including lifting and firming type, anti-wrinkle type, pure hydrating type, dark circle lightening type, etc.

When we buy eye cream, we must first figure out what problems we have with the skin around our eyes, and then "prescribe the right medicine" and buy the eye cream that suits us best.

Note: Avoid the skin around eyes when applying lotion/cream.

For spring and summer, try to choose lotions/creams with a lighter texture, while for autumn and winter, you can use ones with a slightly thicker texture. In addition, when choosing lotion or cream, the key is to consider the skin type. Girls with oily skin should use cream with caution.

Sun protection is the last step in skin care! You should apply sunscreen every day and be sure to apply sunscreen when you go out! Even if you don’t wear makeup, you still need to apply sunscreen! Don't be lazy.

Girls with healthy skin can choose chemical sunscreen or physical sunscreen. Girls with sensitive skin that is prone to acne and closed comedones should choose physical sunscreen!
