Most people use essence after washing their face in the morning, but little do they know that the timing of using essence is also important. If you can't grasp the best time to use essence, its skincare effect will be greatly reduced.
Using Essence Before Bedtime is Best
Generally speaking, using essence before bedtime is very effective. Sleeping is usually around 11 pm at night, when the skin's metabolism is accelerated and the absorption of nutrients in skincare products is also good. Using essence before sleep can greatly improve the condition of the skin when you wake up.
Using Essence After the Age of 23 is Best
There is also an age recommendation for using essence. We generally recommend using it after the age of 23. At the age of 23, the skin's ability to absorb nutrients is strong, effectively preventing aging. If women wait until they are 25 years old and start to have problems like dull skin tone and increased wrinkles, using essence at this time can only repair the skin and cannot restore it to its original soft and delicate state.
Using Essence After Toner is Best
During the process of using essence, we should follow a strict skincare routine to make it work better. The general skincare routine is: cleansing-toning-essence-emulsion-cream-sunscreen. Therefore, it is best to use essence after applying toner, and then apply emulsion, cream, etc.
Using Essence Before Applying Facial Mask is Best
Essence can be used as a base for the skin to help subsequent skincare products absorb better. Especially after applying a large amount of essence, applying a facial mask can effectively replenish the skin with nutrients. After about 20 minutes, remove the mask and clean the skin.
Other Tips for Using Essence
In addition to the above 4 prime time points, there are a few other things to note when using essence:
1. Avoid using too much essence: Each time you use essence, it should be about the size of a coin. Using too much essence will prevent the skin from absorbing it.
2. Avoid using essence on the entire face: When using essence, first determine whether it is for the face or the eyes. If it is a whitening or other functional essence, you can focus on applying it to the desired areas.
3. Essence does not need to be used every day, especially for healthy skin. You should not leave essence on your face for a long time, especially for concentrated essence. After massaging for 20 minutes, rinse it off, otherwise, it will make your skin drier and drier.
