When is the best time to use the serum, day or night?

Nowadays, many female friends use essence to care for their skin. There are many controversies about whether essence should be used during the day or at night. So when is the best time to use it?

Should I use the serum during the day or at night?

Many people don’t want their skin to get worse, so they apply a lot of essence. If the product instructions of the essence do not specifically state that it cannot be used during the day, then this essence can be used both during the day and at night. However, some essences contain ingredients that are not suitable for daytime use. Different brands of essences have different use times. Some are suitable for daytime, and some are for morning and evening. Whether to use the essence during the day or at night should be determined based on personal skin condition and the essence purchased.

When is the best time to use essence?

Generally speaking, it is best to use essence before going to bed at night. Because essence will absorb ultraviolet rays when used during the day, it will cause the skin to darken easily, and the nutrients are not well absorbed during the day. The whitening effect is better when used at night, because before going to bed at night is the skin's self-repair stage. If you use essence for skin care before going to bed, the skin can absorb it well.

Principles of using essence

1. Use more than one essence, and decide the order based on texture and efficacy.

Although using essence can achieve skin care effects faster, using two essences at the same time is already the limit. You must pay attention when using them: use the one with a thinner texture first, then use the one with a thicker texture, and then decide based on the depth of reaching the skin. The depth is moisturizing - whitening - anti-wrinkle. While using essence, you must do a good job of sun protection during the day, otherwise no matter how good the essence is, it will be useless.

2. Emulsion, essence order, apply the product with low viscosity first

The oil content in essence is generally less, while the oil content in lotion is much higher than that in essence. Lotion has a greasy feeling. Apply essence first. If you use lotion first on oily skin, it will contain higher moisture, or the essence is thicker than the lotion. At this time, you should apply a thinner lotion first, and then the essence, the effect will be better.

3. Some essences are not suitable for use on the entire face

Although essences have good skin care effects, some essences are not suitable for use on the entire face. This is because some essences are highly targeted and have very high concentrations of skin care ingredients. If the limit is exceeded, the skin will not be able to absorb them. Therefore, some functional essences can be used on areas with spots or acne scars.

Although essence is good for the skin, it is only effective if used correctly.
