What is a facial essence and how does it work?
A facial essence is a multi-tasking liquid treatment that provides multiple benefits to the skin. A facial essence aims to hydrate, protect the skin from environmental stressors, smooth the complexion, and soften the texture with a highly concentrated liquid formula. After application, a facial essence is instantly absorbed into the skin. It acts as a layer to replenish moisture in the skin barrier and helps the skin better absorb the products that are applied next. A facial essence is the first step in skin care and follows the use of a facial toner .
What are the benefits of using a facial essence?
A facial essence provides antioxidant protection against free radicals, deeply hydrates the skin barrier, boosts luminosity, reduces the appearance of fine lines, refines the appearance of pores, improves elasticity, softens and smooths texture, and evens out your skin tone. It plays a key role in reducing the signs of aging and keeping skin healthy and youthful-looking.
What is the difference between a facial essence and a facial toner?
This is a historical question, at least since facial essences came onto the scene a few years ago. A facial toner is the final cleansing step in a skincare routine. It restores balance to the skin after removing the day’s impurities and makeup. A facial toner helps remove residual impurities, minimize the appearance of pores, and smooth out the complexion. A toner is typically more effective for oily or acne-prone skin, while a facial essence is ideal for all skin types. When comparing a toner to an essence, the essence is the first step in the treatment process in a skincare routine . It actively treats and targets skin concerns while preparing the skin for the next steps. In simple terms, you use a toner after washing your face, and use an essence after your toner and before applying a serum and cream .
Can you use toner and essence together?
Of course! First, cleanse your skin with a gentle cleanser . Then, apply an alcohol-free, non-stripping toner with a cotton pad. Then, apply the essence with your hands and follow with your serum, eye cream , and face cream. Overall, using an essence and toner together helps deeply hydrate and balance your complexion.
How do you incorporate an essence into your skincare routine?
Adding a new product to your skincare routine can be tricky, but we’re here to help. When you apply your beauty products from the lightest (cleanser) to the heaviest (face cream), it allows your skin to absorb each product individually. When an essence is included in your routine, it increases the absorption rate of the products that follow it. Here’s how to incorporate an essence into your routine and the order in which you should use your skincare products.
Step 1: Thoroughly cleanse the face with a gentle cleanser
Step 2: Remove stubborn impurities with a cotton pad soaked in a non-drying toner.
Step 3: Pour a small amount of essence into the palm of your hand and apply with your fingertips to cleansed face and neck.
Step 4: Apply a concentrated serum to target skin concerns
Step 5: Seal in moisture with a hydrating face cream
