Should I use lotion or cream first?

There is no girl who doesn't love beauty. Most girls will use some skin care products since childhood, and they will pay more attention to skin care when they grow up. There are a lot of bottles and jars of skin care products on the dressing tables of many girls. Some girls don’t know whether to use lotion or cream first when they just start taking care of their skin. The following article will explain to the majority of female friends whether to use lotion or cream first, as well as their respective uses and effects.

Use serum before face cream.

Many people don’t know much about the steps of using skin care products. When using skin care products, we can first remember a general order, that is, "water, lotion, and cream". Water is toner, or skin care water. It is used in the first step after cleansing to replenish moisture for our skin in time. After the water is the essence lotion. The essence lotion is used in the middle position, like a catheter, to help the toner used in front to better enter the skin, and to help the facial cream used later to be better absorbed. After the essence lotion is the facial cream, which is the last step in the skin care steps.

Essence lotion is extracted from nutrients in natural animals, plants and minerals. It has a series of very powerful functions. Its capacity is small, its value is high and its price is also high. A small bottle of essence lotion may cost several times that of ordinary lotion. Essence lotion is a targeted product. Its effects vary depending on the nutrients it contains. The main effect of facial cream is moisturizing and it is mostly used in the dry seasons of autumn and winter. Compared with essence lotion, facial cream has better moisturizing effect and is more suitable for people with dry skin.

3. When to apply essence lotion

Essence lotion is mostly used after cleansing at night. Some people also use it in the morning, but the effect of using it in the morning is far less good than that of using it at night. Night is a period of active cell metabolism in the human body. Therefore, using essence lotion at night is better absorbed than using it in the morning. However, it should be noted that it is best to complete all skin care work before 11 o'clock in the evening.

You don’t need to use serum every day.

Essence lotion contains extremely high nutrients, but the skin may not be able to absorb it every day if used every day. Otherwise, it will cause a burden on the skin. Excess nutrition will cause a series of new skin problems, such as fat particles and acne. The normal usage cycle is 2-3 times a week, and the frequency of use can be increased as appropriate in the dry autumn and winter seasons.
