The correct steps for applying water emulsion essence are:
1. Cleaning: Use facial cleanser to thoroughly clean the face, removing oil, dirt, and makeup residue. When cleaning, you can take a proper amount of facial cleanser, first clean the T-shaped part with strong oil secretion, and then use the middle finger and ring finger to open the foam in a circular way, so as to clean the whole face.
2. Toner: After cleansing the face, use toner (also known as toner or toner). Toner helps regulate the pH value of the skin, preparing for the absorption of subsequent products. Pour toner onto a cotton pad or directly onto the palm of your hand, gently pat on the face and neck to ensure full absorption by the skin.
3. Essence liquid: After toner, use essence liquid. Essence liquid usually contains high concentration of active ingredients, which are used to solve specific skin problems, such as moisturizing, whitening, anti-aging, etc. Apply a proper amount of essence on the palm of your hand, gently smear it on your face with your finger pulp, and then gently pat or massage until it is completely absorbed. Note that essence should not be used too much and all over the face, and should not stay too long.
4. Lotion (if you do not use face cream directly after essence): use lotion after essence absorption. The role of lotion is to provide additional moisture for the skin and help lock in moisture and the active ingredients in the previously used essence. Apply a proper amount of lotion on the palm of your hand, evenly smear it on your face and neck with your fingertips, and gently massage until it is completely absorbed.
If face cream is also included in the skin care program, face cream is usually used after lotion to provide additional moisturizing and water locking effects. Sunscreen should also be used at the end of the daytime skincare routine to protect the skin from UV damage. However, different products and brands may have different recommendations, so it is best to refer to the product instructions before use.
