Is the role and efficacy of the base lotion the same as the essence?

Essence serum is a skin care product that most girls are very familiar with. It has many benefits for our skin. However, there are still some people who don’t know the effects of essence serum. So what are the effects and functions of essence serum? Is serum the same as essence?

The role and efficacy of the base lotion

Essence can soften the skin's stratum corneum. Its texture is not as thick as essence, and is between water and essence. It can moisturize and soften the stratum corneum, allowing skin cells to fully absorb nutrients from skin care products like open pores, thereby allowing the skin care products to exert their due effects. The essence mainly acts on the basal cells, and the vitality of the basal cells can determine the absorption of the effective ingredients in the skin care products. The reason why the essence is called essence is because it can effectively penetrate into the bottom layer of the skin, stimulate the activity of skin cells, and promote skin metabolism, so that the skin can be like new and radiant. The essence contains both hydrophilic and lipophilic ingredients, which can help decompose the moisture and oil in skin care products on the one hand, and help balance the water and oil balance of the skin on the other hand, avoiding skin problems caused by water and oil imbalance.

Is serum the same as essence?

no the same. Essence serum is a product that is used before daily essence. In a sense, it and essence are skin care products from the same mother, but they each have their own functions. Essence can improve skin problems in a targeted manner, while the essence is mainly responsible for assisting the essence to achieve a more ideal skin care effect. After applying the essence on the skin, the stratum corneum will become softer and the skin's absorption state will become more ideal, so it is very suitable for young skin, mature skin and skin in poor condition. The use of essence is to enhance the penetration of subsequent skin care products including essence, so when choosing essence, you must follow this principle to judge whether the product is reliable. The texture of the base fluid should be refreshing, and there should be no obvious fake slippery or gummy feeling after application. It should not be too sticky and thick, and it should contain water-soluble ingredients to help soften the stratum corneum. In addition, some ingredients that can help the skin restore health are also essential, such as cell detoxification ingredients, yeast ingredients, and ingredients extracted from plants that can help skin cells replenish energy, such as green tea seed extract and Ganoderma lucidum spore extract.

At which step should the base lotion be used?

The essence should be applied after using toner. It is like an "appetizer" that can help enhance the skin's absorption capacity and pave the way for subsequent skin care products. The correct order of using essence lotion is facial cleanser - toner - essence lotion - lotion - cream. This is the most basic step. Products such as lotions and creams have larger molecules, a thicker texture, and are not light and thin enough. They cannot be absorbed instantly by the skin after use and can only work slowly. After the age of 25, the skin's absorption capacity will be greatly reduced. It will be a certain burden to use skin care products with larger molecules and thicker texture. Skin care products must penetrate deeply into the skin to moisturize and nourish the skin. If the skin cannot absorb these ingredients, it will be useless. The essence can open up a fast channel, allowing the nutrients in the skin care products to reach the innermost part of the skin through this path and be consumed by the cells. The texture of toner is the lightest of all skin care products and can be easily absorbed by the skin, so it does not require the help of base lotion. It should be used first and then base lotion.

How to use the essence

Before using the essence, we first need to choose a essence that suits us. Therefore, before choosing, make sure that your skin needs to use a base lotion. We need to clean the skin thoroughly before using the base lotion. Remove makeup and oil dirt from your face so that the essence can work better. Before using the base lotion, we can apply a layer of lotion, usually toner is suitable. Doing this can not only cleanse the skin again, but also help open the skin's water channels, allowing the essence to better penetrate into the skin and promote the skin's absorption of subsequent skin care products. After using toner, apply the base lotion. Be careful not to use lotion before applying the product, as it may affect the skin's absorption of the serum.
