If we think about the best type of skincare, Korean skincare comes to our mind. It involves a number of steps and has given us many useful products like sheet masks and essences. Some of you may have not heard about essences and would like to know about what they actually are. Essences are an important part of Korean skincare. In this blog, Rubina Ratnakar tells you all about essences and how they are adapted to the skincare routine.
Essence is just like a serum or a face mist that will help you in hydrating your skin and making it softer. It is also called magic water by some. The thing about essences is it doesn’t completely fall into the categories of moisturizers, toners, or serums. It is lighter than a moisturizer, thicker than a toner, and lighter than a serum. It is water-based, but this water can do wonders for your skin. There are a wide number of essences one can choose from.
Essences are made with a number of purposes in mind. A person who buys an essence may want to combat excess sebum production or the creepy signs of skin aging. One may look forward to getting rid of all the tan and dead skills or serve the mere purpose of skin toning.
The texture of essences may range from watery to thick viscous liquids, to apply on the skin. Essences that contain Vitamin C can help you tone your skin. Niacinamide and Peptides in essences will help your skin fight the early signs of aging. Dead cells can be removed by using essences containing beta hydroxy acids.
Essences are just like primers for our skin. By applying an essence you can prepare your skin for the upcoming products. The products you apply will be more effective if you prep your skin with an essence.
An essence is applied to clean skin. Wash and cleanse your face, apply the essence, and then proceed to the next steps of skincare.
