3 Mistakes of Using Essence That You May Make

When talking about skincare, there are often differences of opinion about how to use each product. For example, sunscreen and vitamin C are usually used in the morning, while retinol and exfoliant acid are usually used at night. However, essence is one skincare product that has so many ways to apply it.

Some people use it in the morning, some at night, and others use essence both in the morning and at night. Some people apply it using cotton, while the rest apply it directly to the face by gently patting it.

Before discussing how to apply essence that is wrong or right, it is better to discuss what essence is. Essence aims to provide so much hydration to the skin and create aquaporin so that the skin care that you use afterwards can soak into the pores properly and deeper. Well, to be able to apply essence properly so that the absorption of creams and serums works to the maximum, avoid the following mistakes.

Use tissue or cotton

Applying essence using cotton will actually cause irritation to the skin. In addition, the essence of liquid texture will actually be absorbed by cotton quickly.

Wiping Cotton

Applying essence using cotton will cause irritation. Because, essence has a liquid texture so it’s not slippery enough on the surface of your skin. Instead of rubbing it, it’s better to press gently on the facial skin.

Use After Serum and Toner

Essence serves to help further absorption of skincare into the skin. Therefore, do not apply essence after toner or serum, especially cream and sunscreen.
