What is the difference between skin care products in duty-free shops and those in specialty counters?

The difference between skin care products in duty-free shops and counters is that skin care products in duty-free shops are cheaper, you need to show your passport and plane ticket when purchasing, and you need to queue up for tax refund. Skin care products in counters are more expensive than in duty-free shops, the service when purchasing is better than in duty-free shops, and the packaging and version may be different from those in duty-free shops.

Specialty counters only sell one type of product or a certain brand, and customers mostly only buy a series of products from one brand, while duty-free shops have a wide variety of brands, and the terminal sales capacity of a certain brand is not as good as that of specialty counters. In terms of the quality of skin care products, the quality of specialty counters and duty-free shops is not much different, just the place of production is different.

Duty-free and counter skin care products, first of all, duty-free shop skin care products are not available to everyone, you need to show your passport and plane ticket when buying, but counters do not require these. In terms of price, counters are more expensive than duty-free shops. Duty-free shops are cheaper because they are exempt from tariffs, and the discounts are generally higher than counters.

However, the counters will not be out of stock or have no brand, and it is more convenient to buy at the counters, while it takes a long time to find it at the duty-free shops. At the same time, duty-free shops require queuing when paying tax, but there is no such problem at the counters. Sometimes, due to different health monitoring in different countries, the packaging and versions of duty-free shops and counters may be slightly different.

The order of using skin care products

Cleansing the face is the first step in skin care, followed by using toner, eye cream, essence, lotion and face cream in turn. Face cream is used last because it is the thickest and can lock in the effectiveness of all the above skin care products and avoid the loss of the applied essence.

Cleansing the face is the first step in using cosmetics. Only by removing the grease and dirt on the skin surface can the subsequent skin care products play their role better. You can squeeze a proper amount of facial cleanser into the palm of your hand, add a proper amount of water and rub the bubbles, apply it on your face and massage for a few minutes, then rinse it off with clean water.

After cleansing your face, you need to use lotion to replenish your face with moisture. Currently, there are many types of lotions, including toner, essence water, softener, etc. Each lotion has its specific effects. You need to choose and use the appropriate lotion according to your needs.

Eye cream is a part of the cosmetics that is easily overlooked. After using lotion, you can choose the right eye cream according to the age of your skin. For example, a girl in her early 20s is suitable for refreshing and moisturizing eye cream, while a girl around 25 years old can choose an anti-aging eye cream.

Essence is usually used after toner, before or after eye cream. The amount of essence is usually a little less, just take a soybean-sized amount of essence, gently and evenly apply it on the face, and keep massaging with your hands.

Lotion is used after essence, which can add a layer of moisturizing and water-locking layer on the skin surface, making the skin look more hydrated and shiny. The amount of lotion is generally about twice that of essence. You can pour the lotion on the front end of your fingers or the base of your thumb, and then gently apply it on your face and massage continuously to help the skin absorb it.

Facial cream is the most important step in basic skin care. It is the thickest of all skin care products and can help lock in the effects of all the above skin care products. At the same time, the facial cream itself also has certain efficacy. You need to choose the right facial cream according to your skin type to better improve your skin's ability.

How to store skin care products in summer

Skin care products can be stored at room temperature in summer, but the storage environment needs to be cool, dry and away from light. Masks, essences and other highly active skin care products can be refrigerated to maintain their freshness, so that the mask or essence has a better skin care effect.

Daily skin care products do not need special storage in summer and can be stored at room temperature. However, it is necessary to keep them in a cool, dry, dark place, otherwise strong light or humid environment will cause skin care products to deteriorate.

Facial masks, essences and other skin care products can be stored in the refrigerator. This will keep the masks and essences fresh for longer. Because these skin care products themselves contain strong active substances, they will easily deteriorate if stored at room temperature.

It should be noted that the mask taken out of the refrigerator is not suitable for direct use, otherwise it will cause certain irritation to the skin. At the same time, it should be noted that essential oil skin care products are not suitable for being placed in the refrigerator, otherwise they may solidify.
