How to use essence correctly? Precautions for using essence

Different essences have different usage steps, and they can only achieve the best effect when used correctly. Essence is the most expensive product among skin care products. Be sure not to use it incorrectly, otherwise your money will be wasted.

Generally speaking, whether you are doing skin care before putting on makeup or before going to bed, the first thing to do is to wash your face, so there is nothing much to say about this. But after washing your face, we must remember to use toner, which is the first step in our daily skin care. After applying toner, we must also remember to apply eye cream around the eyes. You know, our eyes are always active every day. If you don’t take good care of them, it is easy to have some fine lines. After applying eye cream, we can apply essence. Similarly, if you are afraid that your skin cannot absorb the essence well, you can pour the essence on the cotton pad and then wipe the whole face. When you finish using the essence, we should use lotion to moisturize our skin, so that the moisture of the skin will not be lost. After applying lotion, if you feel that your skin is still very dry, you can also add another layer of cream on your face.

1. Use it every day?

The answer from skin experts is no. Especially for healthy skin, there is no need to use essence every day, and do not leave the essence on the face for too long. Many people use essence improperly, and their skin becomes drier the more they use it. This is probably because they use concentrated essence as a nourishing cream. Generally speaking, concentrated essence mainly works through massage and should be washed off after 20 minutes.

2. For the whole face?

Many brands of serums have specific targeted effects, so these types of products are best used topically and are not recommended for large areas on the entire face. The key is to read the product instructions carefully or consult a beauty consultant.

3. For acne?

It is best to use with caution. Bacteria are single-cell microorganisms on the surface of our skin. In the process of their growth and reproduction, bacteria need a lot of life-sustaining fluid, protein and biological cell nutrients. These nutrients are also the main ingredients of general "essences", so if you use "essences" on acne areas, it is easy to aggravate the infection.

1. Follow the steps to use

As mentioned in the article on essence, the correct steps should be cleansing - toner - essence - lotion/cream.

2. It is not the case that the more you use it, the better.

When we use "essence", we often ignore the single-cell microorganisms on the surface of the skin - bacteria. Bacteria need a lot of life-sustaining fluid, protein and biological cell nutrients in their growth and reproduction. These substances are also the main components of general "essence". So does "essence" nourish the skin or nourish bacteria? This depends on whether these nutrients can be completely absorbed by the skin. Therefore, for oily skin, acne skin and other infectious skin, it is best to be cautious when using "essence".

3. Do not use essence instead of eye cream

Essence is a concentrated product made by extracting natural active ingredients such as animals, plants or minerals using high-tech hyperlinks. Essence is extracted at low temperatures, and its active and effective ingredients can be well preserved, which can replenish the nutrients needed by the skin. Its main function is protection, and it can play a good health care role in skin moisturizing, anti-wrinkle, skin tightening, and nutrition. The skin around the eyes is the thinnest part of the human skin, and it cannot absorb a large amount of high-nutrient essence, so it is easy to form fat particles around the eyes. Moreover, the ingredients of eye cream are very particular, and the amount used is also limited. Therefore, do not replace eye cream with essence.

Essence is a product that can be used both in the morning and in the evening. Because the essence contains highly concentrated skin care nutrients, these nutrients can provide sufficient nutrition for the skin, especially for dehydrated or dull skin on the face. Using the essence once in the morning and evening can also achieve the effect of skin care. Don't worry that using the essence in the morning and evening will burden the skin, because the essence does not add too greasy ingredients. Most of the effective ingredients in the essence are added in a relatively small number, and it will not irritate the skin even if it is used once in the morning and evening. However, some essences will be marked for daytime use or nighttime use, which means that some essences are intolerant to ultraviolet rays. After being exposed to sunlight, its efficacy may be greatly reduced. The repair ability of the essence used at night will be stronger. Some nutritional essences contain highly rich nutrients. Using this essence once in the morning and evening will increase the burden on the skin. In some severe cases, fat particles may appear, so this type of essence can be used two or three times a week. If you are not sure whether the skin condition can use the essence in the morning and evening, you can use ampoule essence. Ampoule essence is more moisturizing than ordinary essences. If you keep up with the subsequent skin care products, you don't have to worry about insufficient nutrients. When applying the essence, you can use your hands to massage along the pores of your face. This can speed up absorption and prevent your hands from absorbing too much essence and causing waste.

If you use essence both in the morning and evening, it is recommended to distinguish the types of essences used in the morning and evening. Generally, it is recommended to choose essences that have added ingredients that can help resist ultraviolet rays in the morning, which can reduce the damage caused to the skin by sunlight during the day to a certain extent. The essences used at night focus more on nourishing and repairing effects, so it is recommended to use essences containing repairing ingredients. It is recommended that you use essences that focus on hydration and moisturizing in the morning, which are good for moisturizing, sun protection, and isolation, and use essences that focus on whitening and freckle removal at night. Facial creams are divided into morning creams and night creams, and you can choose to use them according to the category. Morning creams are hydrating and moisturizing, and night creams are generally repairing. If you are under 25 years old, choose a pure hydrating cream and apply it in the morning and evening. If you are over 25 years old, it is best to choose separate morning creams and night creams, which can solve skin problems in a targeted manner.
