Proper skin care steps for thorough absorption

There are various kinds of skin care products just like there are lots of color cosmetics. There are more cases of using 3 or more skin care products than using just one. However, since many products are applied at once, the skin might not properly absorb it. So, I’ve brought some tips to prevent such situations.

#skin & toner & astringent

The most watery product among the skin care products are of course skin, toner and astringent. Skin products immediately moisturize the skin after cleansing and help to increase the absorption of other skin care products which are to be applied later on. Toner balances our skin’s PH level, creates acidic protection layer on our skin, and can wipe out wastes and make-up left overs. Astringent has similar functions with the toner but has alcohol ingredient which has pore tightening and exfoliating effects. They’re used on the first step of skin care immediately after cleansing.

#Essence

We all know that essence products nourish and moisturize the skin! The proper method to use essence is to apply it after toner. It’s quite meaningless to apply essence products after oily products like lotion. *First essences are made to be applied even before skin or toners.

#Lotion & emulsion

Many people tend to skip the lotion step, but lotion is what maintains sebum and moisture balance. Therefore, it is a crucial product for those with either oily or dry skin types, who have unbalanced sebum and hydration level.

#Eye cream

Eye creams can be applied either after or before applying lotion, but it can be useless if applied after a very heavy cream product.

#Moisturizing cream & nourishing cream

Creams are usually applied on the last step of skin care. However, it is more effective to apply either one of them than to apply both moisturizing and nourishing cream. Cream’s function is to coat the skin’s outer layer in order to prevent the evaporation of other skin care products applied previously. Please use them according you your skin types.

#Sunblock

Sunblock is a little inappropriate to be called a skin care product since has to be cleansed. Therefore, sunblock should be applied on the last step of skin care.

For utmost effectiveness of the skin care products, it is important to follow the right steps.
