Should I use water or essence first?

Toner and essence are both common skin care products. Many women are still struggling over whether to use toner or essence first. Generally speaking, toner should be used first, and then essence. This can achieve the effect of skin care, because toner has a secondary cleansing effect, which can better promote the absorption of essence by the body's skin. Let us learn about this aspect below.

Use toner first and then essence. Toner has a good secondary cleansing effect on the skin and can make the essence easier to absorb.

Essence should be used after cleansing the skin and evenly applying toner or lotion. Avoid using it immediately after cleansing. Use serum after toner and before skin cream. Toner and lotion are suitable for Asian skin. They can help the skin form a sebum film, thereby effectively absorbing moisture, removing old cuticles, and assisting the skin in absorbing the nutrients of the essence, allowing the nutrients of the essence to more fully and directly enter the deep layers of the skin, making the skin softer and more elastic. It is completely extracted from aloe vera and processed with high penetration technology, so it can be quickly absorbed by the skin without washing. Due to its purely plant-based nature, there is no risk of overdose or any other side effects.

Before going to bed at night, apply a little on the cleansed face, spread it evenly, and gently massage for a few minutes to allow the essence to be absorbed. The basic massage technique is to make spiral movements from bottom to top and from inside to outside, and repeat the massage on key areas. The essence needs to stay on the face for at least 20 minutes so that the nutrients in it can be absorbed by the skin and then washed off. If you feel uncomfortable or experience adverse symptoms such as skin redness, you should stop using it, as this indicates that the skin's tolerance has been exceeded.

There are some essences that are suitable for daily use, and they must be used in conjunction with special facial cleansers, lotions, and night creams from the same series, and cannot be used alone to replace facial cream.

Even some essences with relatively rich essential elements cannot be used directly and continuously. Generally, they should be used 2 to 3 times a week. Appropriate dosage for each use: 2-3 drops each time in summer and 3-5 drops each time in winter; a small bottle of essence (24ml) can generally be used for half a year.
