Step 1: Cleansing milk, cleansing gel, cleansing foam, cleansing powder

Facial Cleanser: Massage onto wet or dry face, then rinse with water or wipe clean with tissue.

Note: Cleanser is suitable for dry or sensitive skin. Gel, foam or powder suitable for oily, combination and normal skin.

Step 2: Toner

Effect: shrink pores, balance skin acidity and alkalinity, and moisturize the skin. If you pour it onto a cotton pad and wipe it gently, you can wipe away excess dead skin.

Usage: Pour the toner onto a cotton pad and wipe gently on your face, or pat the toner onto your face with your hands.

Note: This step is necessary for all skin types, but sensitive skin types should avoid using cotton pads.

Step 3: Eye serum, eye gel, eye cream

Efficacy: The skin around the eyes is the thinnest on the whole body, so it needs special care. Do not apply face cream as eye cream, as it may cause sensitivity or oil particles.

Directions: First use eye essence, then eye gel or eye cream. Use your fourth finger to apply an amount the size of a grain of rice and press lightly around your eyes.

Note: Eye creams usually reduce wrinkles, eye gels usually reduce dark circles or improve puffiness. When applying eye cream, do not rub your eyes hard to avoid wrinkles.

Step 4: Essence

Efficacy: whitening, anti-aging, moisturizing, oil control... Various essences can meet different skin needs. Concentrated effective ingredients can effectively improve skin problems, and refreshing gels or liquids accelerate skin absorption.

Usage: Apply evenly on the entire face or only on the required areas, pat gently to help the essence absorb. Except for eye essence, do not apply ordinary facial essence on the eyes.

Step 5: Moisturizer

Benefits: Moisturizing cream replenishes moisture for the skin while keeping it hydrated and delicate. In addition, it also provides a moisturizing film to prevent moisture loss, making the skin look younger and smoother. It is best to choose a refreshing lotion for oily skin, while a moisturizing cream is suitable for dry skin. Some moisturizing creams even contain sunscreen ingredients to protect the skin from UV damage.

Usage: Use after cleansing, toning and applying essence.

Step 6: Sunscreen

Effect: Outdoor activities (such as swimming, hiking, etc.) may overexpose your skin to the sun. Sunscreen can not only reduce the formation of melanin, but also reduce the chance of skin cancer and block UVA that accelerates skin aging. SPF refers to how long the protection against UVB lasts. The higher the SPF, the longer it can delay sunburn and the longer the sun protection lasts. The PA value is the UVA protection effect measurement standard published by the Japan Cosmetic Industry Association and can be divided into three levels: PA+, PA++ and PA+++. The more + signs, the higher the protection index. UVA can accelerate skin aging and even cause skin cancer.

Usage: Apply 20 minutes before exposure to sunlight. If exposed to direct sunlight, please reapply every two hours. Wipe away sweat or other moisture before applying.

Note: Please use cleanser or cleansing oil to wash off the high-protection sunscreen before cleansing with cleansing foam or cleansing gel.
