Regarding Skin Care products, many people regard essential oils and essences as the same product. In fact, they are not. There are certain differences between essential oils and essences. And the method of use is also different. Today we will specifically talk about the different ways to use several skin care products that are often easily confused.
1、How to use essence
There are many types of essences classified according to their functions. They are concentrated skin care products with high nutrients. Their molecules are very small and are easy to absorb by the skin. It is usually used after applying lotion. Generally, using the serum 2-3 times a week is enough. Eye skin requires the use of specialized essences.
2、How to use essential oils
Essential oil has many uses. It can be applied on the face, hands, lips, hair, etc. After cleansing, take an amount the size of a dollar coin and massage it in a spiral motion from the center of the face outward for three minutes. Then apply a hot towel on the face and perform simple acupoint pressure to promote absorption, relieve dry skin and soften the skin.
3、How to use ampoule
Ampoule essence is generally a highly concentrated, highly active and efficient essence packaged in a vacuum glass bottle. After applying toner, take an appropriate amount of ampoule essence into the palm of your hand, then pat gently on the face and neck, and massage until absorbed. Then apply lotion, cream, etc.
4、How to use the serum
Most of the general serums contain both hydrophilic and lipophilic ingredients, which are both moisturizing and oil-controlling. It is used as a base for subsequent products and can promote the absorption of subsequent products. Use before essence and cream. Apply in the same way as applying essence or cream.
Don’t think that if your skin is prone to oiliness, it means you have oily skin. You may also have skin that is oily on the outside and dry on the inside. The skin barrier is damaged and the water and oil in the skin are imbalanced, which can easily turn your skin into oily skin. In this case, you also need to replenish your skin.
