How to use moisturizing water and moisturizing lotion?

Moisturizing water and moisturizing lotion are two indispensable skin care products in daily life. To achieve the best effect, you must use moisturizing water first, and then use lotion, face cream, sunscreen, etc. Studies have found that you should use moisturizing water first to keep your skin moisturized, and then use moisturizing lotion to better lock in moisture and achieve the best moisturizing effect, so everyone must follow the order.

1. Which should I use first, moisturizing water or lotion?

The correct order of using moisturizer and lotion should be to use moisturizer first and then lotion. Generally, after cleansing our face with facial cleanser, we can pat on moisturizing water, and then use other skin care products such as lotion, moisturizing cream, etc.

2. The benefits of using moisturizing water first

The main benefit of using moisturizing water before lotion is that moisturizing water can help moisturize the skin and promote the skin's absorption of lotion. And if you use moisturizer after cleansing, it can also help relieve the tightness of the skin.

3. Disadvantages of using lotion first

Moisturizing water is liquid while lotion is cream-like. If you use lotion first and then moisturizing water, firstly, the skin's absorption of the lotion is relatively poor, and secondly, the moisturizing water can easily wash away the lotion. Moisturizing water itself does not have the moisture-locking effect of lotion or cream, and it easily evaporates after application, taking away moisture from the skin.

4. Order of using skin care products

No matter what skin care products we use, we generally determine the order of use based on molecular size. Water is generally used in the first step, followed by lotion, cream, face cream, and finally isolation sunscreen and makeup products.

5. How to use moisturizing water

Usually, when we use moisturizing water, we pat it gently with our hands. In that case, pour a little bit on the palm of your hand each time, and gradually pat it on different parts of the face until it is absorbed. In order to prevent the moisturizing water from flowing away, you can use cotton pads as an aid. Remember to soak the cotton pad with enough moisturizing water, and choose thicker cotton pads to retain moisture. Don't choose thin cotton pads. Thin cotton pads are more suitable for removing makeup, and their texture is a bit rough, which can easily damage the stratum corneum; make sure both sides are fully moistened. Gently pat your face to allow the moisturizing water to penetrate into the skin, and also take care of the corners of the nose and mouth.
