Should I put essence before or after lotion?

After the age of 25, women's skin begins to take shape. Therefore, girls must pay attention to maintaining their skin so that they can always look youthful. If you want to maintain your skin, hydration is naturally essential. You must hydrate your skin before putting on makeup. Therefore, you need to apply moisturizing water, lotion and essence before putting on makeup. But the order must be made clear. Let’s see whether the essence should be applied before or after the lotion?

Use serum before lotion.

Essence has the smallest molecular size and the strongest permeability among skin care products, and can directly reach the basal layer of the skin. Essence is the skin care step with the highest nutritional content. Generally speaking, essence is also the most expensive one. Using it on the face can replenish the skin with a lot of moisture and nutrients. But because the essence molecules are small, they evaporate very easily, just like gasoline, and require subsequent lotion or cream to lock in the essence's moisture. Prevent water from evaporating and causing waste.

If essence is used before lotion, the lotion will lock in the moisture of the essence and form a moisture-locking barrier for the skin. If you don’t use essence before using lotion, then the lotion can also hydrate the skin and regulate the water and oil content of the face.

Should I use the serum after or before the lotion?

Essence is used after toner and before lotion. The amount used varies from person to person. It should not be too much or too little. I believe everyone will be sure of the amount after using it a few times. The usage is the same as toner. After applying it on the face, gently pat it until it is absorbed by the skin.

Should I use serum every day?

Women over 25 often have dull skin and more wrinkles due to aging or fatigue and stress, so they should start paying attention to moisturizing and anti-wrinkle. The concentration of moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid in essence is higher than that in ordinary lotions, emulsions, creams and other products, so older women should choose some special-effect essences. If young girls are prone to fine lines around their eyes, they can also supplement with an appropriate amount of essence.

Does essence need to be used every day? The answer from skin experts is no. Especially for healthy skin, there is no need to use essence every day, and do not leave the essence on the face for too long. Many people use essence improperly and their skin becomes drier the more they use it. This is probably because they use concentrated essence as a nourishing cream. Generally speaking, concentrated serums work mainly through massage and should be washed off after 20 minutes.
