The correct order of using essences in a skincare routine is after cleansing and toning, and before lotion. This step ensures that the essence can better penetrate deep into the skin and exert its best effect.
When using essences, you need to clean your face first to remove dirt and oil to ensure that the essence can be fully absorbed. Next, use toner or lotion to balance the pH value of the skin and prepare for the absorption of the essence. Pour an appropriate amount of essence into the palm of your hand and gently massage your face and neck until it is fully absorbed. Massage can help the essence better penetrate deep into the skin.
Different types of essences also have different order of use. For example, hydrating essences should be used before toners, while repairing, whitening and anti-aging essences should be used after toners. In addition, when using multiple essences, they should be used in order from light to heavy texture to ensure the best skin care effect.
Precautions for using essences include controlling the amount to avoid overloading the skin with too much, and massaging to promote absorption. For specific areas such as fine lines around the eyes, nasolabial folds, etc., you can increase the amount used appropriately to achieve better results.
