How to use hydrating essence

Girls apply a lot of skin care products and cosmetics every morning. Among the many skin care products, lotion, milk, cream and essence are the most basic and the most used. Although hydrating essence can help your skin quickly replenish moisture, it is likely to cause side effects if used improperly. So, how should hydrating essence be used?

How does essence water replenish water?

Hydrating and moisturizing essence is usually formulated with a variety of concentrated moisturizing ingredients. It is easily absorbed by the skin and can instantly transport moisture to where the skin needs it most. It can effectively alleviate the problem of dryness and dehydration and is the key to deep hydration. In addition to helping the skin absorb surface moisture and strengthening the moisture preservative film, the hydrating and moisturizing essence can also lock in moisture and increase water circulation and water content within the cells, allowing the skin to store water deeply, creating an abundant water reservoir at the base of the skin.

The star moisturizing ingredients include ceramide, hyaluronic acid, collagen, katafray, urea, amino acid, vitamin E, jojoba oil, wheat germ oil, etc.

How to use essence water

1. Hydrating essence is not a panacea

The molecules of essence are much smaller than those of cream, so they can reach deep into the skin and solve the problem of dehydration at the underlying layer. Moisturizing creams have a larger molecular weight and are more suitable for staying on the skin surface to achieve the effect of "locking moisture", so both essences and creams should be used, especially in the dry seasons of autumn and winter.

2. Texture determines the effect

Moisturizing ingredients are divided into water-soluble and fat-soluble, so the texture of essence is also different. Most of the lotions, oils, creams, etc. on the market contain fat-soluble ingredients, while gels, jelly, and water contain water-soluble moisturizing ingredients. In order to make moisturizing more comprehensive, some brands offer two textures in one bottle of moisturizing essence, including both water and oil. Shake the bottle to mix the two textures when using. You can choose a suitable hydrating essence according to your skin type. If your skin is extremely dry, you can choose oily or creamy ones; if it is generally dry, you can choose oily, water-oil mixed, or lotion; if it is oily skin, it is recommended to choose hydrating essence with light textures such as gel and water-like.

3. Apply the essence twice

The texture of most essences is sticky. If you apply it too quickly or use too much, it will easily become uneven or even rub into mud. It is recommended to divide the amount used once into two times. With less amount used each time, you can apply it more evenly and avoid a sticky feeling. Each time you apply the essence, put it in the palm of your hand, warm it with both palms, and then press it evenly on your face. You can use your fingers to carefully apply it to detailed areas such as the wings of the nose. There is no need to wait too long between two applications. Apply the second time as soon as you feel the product has been absorbed after the first application.

4. The Three Hearts Principle is well absorbed

When using it, follow the "three hearts" principle of "sincerity, care, and happiness" to double the moisturizing effect of the essence. "Sincerity" means believing in the power of the essence, and silently repeating "it's really easy to use, it's hydrating and moisturizing" while applying it. "Patience" means taking the time to massage to promote absorption. When massaging, cover your face with your hands, and gently press from the center of the face outwards, stretching to both sides while pressing, pulling to the temples, and pressing the concave lymph nodes behind the temples and earlobes to promote lymphatic metabolism and improve absorption. After the massage, when you see your rosy and plump skin in the mirror, you will naturally be happy. At this time, you should thank the "hydrating essence" again and continue to say to yourself, "That's great, the hydrating effect is great, and my skin is really better." This is the skin care gratitude rule that many beauty experts and masters use. Believe in the essence you choose and appreciate its abilities. Your skin will receive positive energy signals and reach a better state.
