Essence cream is also a kind of skin care product, which many people know about. So which one should be used first, essence cream or lotion? Do I need to increase the amount of essence cream and lotion I use?

Which should I use first, cream or lotion?

1. Use eye cream before lotion

To know the order of using essence cream and lotion, you must first consider whether the essence cream you are using is an eye essence cream or a facial essence cream. If it is an eye essence cream, it should be used after toner and before lotion. Because toner can quickly condition the skin and increase the utilization rate of subsequent skin care ingredients, it is used in the first step. The skin around the eyes requires special nutrients and cannot be confused with facial products. Therefore, in the second step, a special eye essence cream should be used, while lotion is used to continuously hydrate and moisturize the skin and can be used in the third step.

2. Choose between facial essence cream and lotion

If it is a facial essence cream, there is no need to use it before or after the lotion, just choose one or the other. Because facial essence cream is a nutrient-intensive skin care product, it will feel sticky if used with lotion. The skin cannot be utilized in time, which will cause waste. So just choose one between facial essence cream and lotion.

Do I need to increase the amount of cream and lotion?

You need to increase the dosage of essence cream and lotion, but be careful about the method.

New creams and lotions are gradually added to avoid discomfort

Increase the amount of new essence cream or lotion gradually, so that it is less likely to cause skin sensitivity due to using the new product. Because our skin needs an adaptation period to new skin care products, if a large amount is used for the first time, the skin may be sensitive to some ingredients in the essence cream and lotion. This is what professionals often talk about, the problem of ingredient intolerance (for example, niacinamide, retinol, fruit acid, etc., are not tolerated by everyone's skin). Therefore, if you switch to a new serum or lotion, it's wise to increase the amount you use gradually.

This is the end of the introduction to essence creams and lotions. Now you have learned some knowledge, right?
