What is the purpose of the essence? Is the essence really useful?

Essence buds are a kind of skin care product. With this skin care product, we can better protect our skin. So what is the use of essence buds and what is the effect?

Essence = essence or lotion. "Essence" is a unique word invented by Chinese merchants. In fact, looking at the ingredients and formulas of many essences, they are just lotions and essences.

Essence essence is a new product derived from essence in recent years. It is a basic skin care product that can soften our stratum corneum and help the absorption of subsequent products.

Many of the skin care products we use in our daily lives, such as whitening, anti-oxidation, and anti-wrinkle products, must allow the active ingredients to enter the epidermis or even the dermis of the skin if we want them to play their due effects.

But when our skin is dry, the cuticle becomes hard, and oily ingredients or large molecules are difficult to be absorbed. It is like a stiff sponge. No matter how much nutrients you add to it, it will not help.

Ding ding ding!!! At this time, the essence of the skin should come out to help you solve your skin problems. The essence of the skin can soften the cuticle, so that when we use other skin care products, the nutrients can penetrate deeper into the skin more easily.

Simply put, the purpose of essence serum is to help our skin better absorb the effective ingredients in skin care products, just like the "appetizer" at the beginning of a skin care feast!

Not all fairies need to use essence.

If one day you suddenly find that your skin care products are not absorbed well and easily become "muddy" after use, and the skin care products are all sticky on your face, then you need a foundation lotion at this time.

On the contrary, if the skin has good absorption ability and no matter what texture of skin care products can be quickly absorbed by the skin, then you can actually skip the step of applying the base lotion.

If you have skin that lacks elasticity, has disordered texture, has ineffective skin care effects, or has dry and rough skin, you can try using a base lotion to improve your skin condition.

Our skin is divided into the stratum corneum and the basal layer. In order to protect the skin of young ladies, the stratum corneum must be naturally shed and regenerated within 28 days. The basal layer is the innermost layer of the epidermis, and it is also where melanin is formed. If the melanin here is synthesized too much, it will cause skin pigmentation, causing spots or uneven skin color. (Do you know that our basal layer is not easy to mess with? If you don’t protect it well, I will make you get spots!

What is the role of the essence? It will provide nutrients to your malnourished cells, make your skin more energetic and immune, and make your subsequent products more effective. To put it bluntly, when your skin is dry, it will be difficult for you to replenish moisture. So how can you replenish moisture into your skin? You must open the door to open the stratum corneum, and then the essence is very useful.

There are always many people who think that the essence must be used before using the water. Isn't it said that the essence is used to open the skin barrier? Actually, it is not. Please remember to read the instructions before using the product. Different brands have different usage orders. Some recommend using it before using the water, while others recommend using it after using the water. But remember that the essence must be used before the subsequent essence, cream and other products.

The essence is usually used in the second step of skin care products, that is, after cleansing.

The steps are: cleansing - base lotion - toner - essence - eye cream - lotion/cream

Some body essences will also be applied after toner. Ladies can treat them differently according to the specific products.

The essence is to open the absorption channel for the skin, lay the foundation for subsequent maintenance, and promote the absorption of subsequent products. The essence is a product for intensive skin care and replenishing skin nutrition.

Therefore, the essence and serum can be said to be good friends fighting side by side. The essence and serum complement each other and promote each other to achieve the maximum effect. If the essence is not used before the serum, the skin may only absorb a small part of the nutrients. The essence + serum are the best partners by nature.

Generally speaking, most of the base lotions have strong hydrophilicity and lipophilicity, so whether you have oily or dry skin, when you use the base lotion, it will achieve good penetration, and then help the subsequent skin care products to be better absorbed by the skin. Simply put, it is suitable for people whose skin lacks elasticity, has disordered texture, has no obvious skin care effect, has dry and rough skin, has a thick stratum corneum, or has a thin stratum corneum. Does that mean that people who have no problems with their stratum corneum will not benefit from using it? Not necessarily. The state of the skin changes constantly, and the effect of skin care cannot be felt in one or two days. To "see" changes or effects, it is impossible to have obvious results without 1, 2 or even 5 or 6 years of long-term persistence.

Acne-prone skin is in the inflammation stage, and the skin condition is extremely unstable. At this time, the skin needs to be given sufficient rest and repair time, rather than blindly adding to the skin. If used improperly, it will aggravate the skin's troubles. For friends with acne-prone skin or those who are prone to closed comedones, choosing a refreshing and burden-free moisturizing essence is enough. The focus of acne-prone skin should be to eliminate their acne first, and then consider whether a base lotion is needed.

There are many reasons for sensitive skin, and in order to make subsequent products better absorbed, the essence will first "open up" the skin cells. In simple terms, in order to make you eat more, you may be hungry for a longer time, but people who are not tolerant of hunger will definitely not be able to hold on for a long time (the same is true for people with low blood sugar). But it does not mean that it cannot be used, but you need to be more cautious in choosing.

It depends on the skin care products you use. Many toners have the effect of base lotion, so you don’t need to use base lotion. For example, Japanese rice flower skin lotion, Mitsui lotion, Nabaojia lotion, etc. all have the effect of base lotion.

Generally speaking, if a skin care set does not have a base lotion, then its toner formula usually contains this effect.
