When to use the base lotion

Many people don't quite understand the difference between cosmetics and skin care products. In fact, even the foundation we usually apply on our face can be divided into pressed powder and liquid foundation. Many people make a distinction between pressed powder and liquid foundation, and wander between the two, without being able to make a reasonable distinction. In fact, first we can introduce liquid foundation, how to use liquid foundation, and all the precautions in various aspects that require special understanding.

When to use the base lotion

The essence is used as a base for subsequent products, so it should be used after cleansing and patting water. It is the third step in skin care. When using the essence, the correct order of use is: cleansing - water - essence - lotion/cream. If you also want to use essence, you should apply it after the base lotion and before the lotion and cream.

How to use the essence

First, cleanse your face thoroughly, then pat on toner with your hands, or apply toner with a cotton pad, then take 2 to 3 drops of essence on your fingertips, apply it on your face along the skin texture with your fingertips, then gently massage your face to promote the absorption of the essence. After the essence is absorbed, use subsequent skin care products.

Precautions for using the serum

1. The pH value of the essence is closer to the original skin value, which is weakly acidic or neutral. When using it, you must remember to avoid using it with essence products containing acidic ingredients such as salicylic acid, fruit acid, L-VC (more than 10%), etc. Anti-aging and moisturizing essences are unlikely to have such problems. If you need to use them together, leave a 10-minute interval between them to avoid interaction that reduces the effectiveness of the acidic ingredients.

2. Inflamed acne-prone skin is not suitable for using essence serum, because the nutrients and matrix of the essence serum will "smother" the acne, which may cause overnutrition and aggravate the acne problem.

3. After using the essence base, you must use other functional skin care products to make the essence base work effectively. If you do not use it, the essence base is equivalent to ordinary lotion and loses its meaning.

4. People with dry skin should use more essence essence, because dry skin is not easy to absorb skin care ingredients, and the oily ingredients contained in moisturizing skin care products used for dry skin have larger particles and are more difficult to absorb.
