Water first and then lotion, or milk first and then water. What is the correct order for skin care?

Let’s first learn about the correct order of using daily skin care products:

Daytime skin care:

Lotion - eye cream - essence - lotion/face cream - isolation - sunscreen - liquid foundation

Night skin care:

Lotion - eye cream - essence - night cream

Of course, this order is only for most skin care products, there are a few skin care products Because the products have different functions, they do not follow routines in terms of usage.

For example, the popular Albion health water and penetrating lotion, as well as Decor's perilla water and avocado lotion, do not follow the order of water first and then milk, but milk first and then water. Therefore, when using skin care products, you should still treat them according to the product instructions.

Let’s talk about some points that are easy to cause confusion in this big sequence. ：

| How to use lotion and cream

The title mentioned lotion and cream. If they are used together, Use lotion first and then cream. Both lotions and creams have the effect of locking in nutrients and moisturizing. It is recommended that you just choose one of the lotions and creams. You don’t have to use both lotions and creams.

| Which one to use first, lotion or essence water?

The so-called essence water is actually water-like essence, such as the famous Immortal Water, its essence is still essence! magnificent! Therefore, it needs to be used after lotion to allow the active ingredients to be better absorbed.

| N essences are mixed, which one to use first

Sisters, use the essence When doing this, remember this order

1. Primer essence/body essence (Lanc?me small black bottle, Estee Lauder small brown bottle, Shiseido Red Kidney and those with primer and muscle foundation in their names, all belong to this category )

2 Moisturizing essence (such as Decor purple bottle essence, most hyaluronic acid essences, etc.)

3 Whitening essence (small white bottle, small light bulb, etc.)

4 Anti-acne Essence (usually applied locally)

It doesn’t matter if you really can’t remember it. As long as you basically follow the rules, the lighter and thinner the texture, the higher the order, and the thicker the texture, the lower the order. It's OK.

In fact, most products are moisturized first and then moisturized. Of course, there are exceptions. For example, Orbin Water Emulsion and Decor Water Milk are moisturized first and then moisturized. Should we water first and then milk or milk first and then water? A simple popular science about beauty ~ Water first, then lotion

Generally speaking, lotion has a lighter texture and smaller molecules than lotion, and is easier to be absorbed by the skin, so use it first Use lotion after lotion. In addition, lotion can directly hydrate but has no water-locking effect, while lotion contains occlusive agents such as oils, which has a good moisturizing and water-locking effect.

Hydrating and nourishing the skin is like pouring water into a bottle. When the water is poured into the bottle, it needs to be tightened with a lid to prevent it from leaking. If the lotion is water poured into the bottle, the lotion is like the lid of the bottle. . Of course, facial cream has a better water-locking function than lotion~ Milk first, water later

The concept of milk first, water later spreads from Japan. The two most famous brands of milk first, water later are Orr Bin and Dai Ke.

Aoerbin: Fresh and translucent penetrating milk + healthy water (milk first, then water)

Decor: Avocado lotion + perilla water (first Milk followed by water)

The official promotion of milk first, water after milk is that the emulsion (penetrating milk) first is to soften cuticles, open the channels for the skin to absorb moisture and nutrients, and lay a good foundation for the absorption of subsequent skin care products. .

Um, Xiaoyan, why do you think this statement is also said about water first and breast later? What is the real reason? In fact, the reason why the real lotion comes first will be answered if you take a closer look at the ingredient list of the product.

Aoerbin Health Water and Decor Perilla Water are both toners for oily and acne-prone skin. Alcohol is at the front of the ingredient list and the content is very high! Although alcohol has the effect of astringing and controlling oil on acne-prone skin, the irritation to the skin can also be imagined~

The fact of milk first and then water is: in order to slow down the irritation of alcohol on the skin, use a milder formula. Use lotion first to cushion the irritation! Summary of Xiaoyan

1. Milk first and then water only applies to certain products. Most brands still use water first and then milk. Please refer to the product description for the final usage method.

2. Wet compresses are not recommended for highly irritating toners such as Decor Perilla Water and Orbin Health Water. It is safer to follow the formula of milk first and then water ~

Most of them People should moisturize first and then emulsify. In fact, you can also apply emulsion first and then moisturize. Decor, the top brand of Japan's Kose Group, has always advocated the skin care concept of emulsion first, that is, using emulsion first and then toner to enhance the penetration of nutrients in skin care products. . Decor itself does not have excellent skin care ingredients like SK-II, OLAY, Yuebisi, La Prairie and other brands, but it is very good at penetration technology. LIPOSOME multi-layer microlipid capsule technology has always been the core technology of the brand, imitating It is developed from the structure of skin cell membranes and glial cells. It is composed of multiple overlapping layers of phospholipids, an important component of skin cell membranes. The multi-layered overlapping phospholipid structure contains a variety of skin care ingredients and can penetrate the skin layer by layer.

However, this also depends on the product and skin care needs. Generally, for products with moisturizing functions, there is no problem in the order of using lotion first and then lotion and cream; for products containing vitamin C, vitamin C ethyl ether, 4MSK, Skin care products containing ingredients such as arbutin, arbutin, vitamin B3, amino acids, biological peptides, nucleotides, and inositol for whitening, anti-aging, and firming skin. You can use essence lotion first and then lotion. After all, The lotion is a bit thicker, and the toner can make the essence and lotion more evenly adhere to the face for better absorption by the skin. Finally, use the cream. Everyone can feel the specific difference for themselves.

As for the correct order of skin care, this is a relatively big problem. The author has previously mentioned part of the order of skin care in Essence Skin Care. I will summarize and add it here. The basic processes that can be used are as follows. Types:

1. Cleansing (secondary cleansing toner and base) lotion, essence, eye cream, lotion (lotion), face cream;

2. Cleansing (secondary cleansing and toner, base) ) Essence eye cream, lotion, lotion, and face cream;

3. Cleansing (secondary cleansing toner and base fluid) Essence eye cream, lotion, lotion, and face cream;

For example, products under the SK-II brand, The concentration of Pitera in the small bulb in the colorful bottle is higher than that in the fairy water. You can use the small bulb in the colorful bottle first and then use the fairy water. The penetration and absorption effect will be better; if it is for precise spot application, lightening acne marks or removing acne skin care , you can use lotion first, then essence essence emulsion, and then use a small amount of toner to enhance the evenness of the skin care products to facilitate absorption. It must be a small amount of lotion, too much will easily smudge the ingredients applied over a large area and cause effects. discount.

Explain the following points about the above process:

1. Secondary cleansing toner and serum are not used by many people, so they are placed in brackets, and essence and eye cream are also included. If you don’t use it, just skip this step;

2. When using cream at the end of the skin care process, you can mix lotion with lotion before use. If you don’t use cream, use it after lotion. If using lotion does not affect the moisturizing effect of lotion, you can also use lotion after lotion. If it is an ordinary moisturizing product, there is no need to change the order;

3. As long as it is not a cleansing mask, it can be used after the second cleansing After use, use the serum and subsequent skin care procedures;

4. If you are not used to this order, there is no need to forcefully change the order. After all, many people always use lotion first and then lotion. It works well;

In addition, the lotion after essence or emulsion is more nutritious. We do not recommend lotions like Clinique Trilogy, Decor Perilla Water, and Albin. Health water and other lotions with high alcohol content and emphasis on secondary cleansing are used after the essence emulsion. After all, they are lotions that emphasize secondary cleansing and have a certain cleaning effect on some of the oily skin care ingredients in the essence emulsion.

The last thing I want to say is that lotion seems to be a very embarrassing quality of skin care. Many top skin care brands (Sisley is an exception), first-tier skin care brands and second-tier skin care brands pay more attention to facial essences, lotions and creams. , there are more cleansers than lotions...

Normal skin care

Makeup remover-cleansing-toner-eye cream-lotion-face cream-sunscreen

2 to 3 times a week Hydrating mask

Cleansing mask once a week

Those who can do these procedures are very responsible for their skin. These steps are enough for girls over 20, so they insist on taking good care of themselves. The skin will have better results~

Boutique skin care

Do deep care regularly Cleansing mask and hydrating mask

Essences include anti-aging, whitening, and hydrating (1-2 models can be used in combination)

Lotions include moisturizing and anti-aging (use one at a time) , use it separately in the morning and evening)

There are more than two kinds of toner to deal with different skin conditions

25+ girls who do this kind of skin care are the best, they really treat their face like a queen. , I believe hard work will definitely yield results.

Pay attention to these issues

1. Only when the pores are clean can skin care products be better absorbed~

Cleansing is the first step in basic skin care. dirt removal. Insufficient cleansing often results in clogged hair follicles, making the skin look rough and lackluster, and is more likely to cause acne, blisters or other skin problems. As a result, even the best skin care products cannot perform as they should. function and may even make the skin worse. Therefore, it is very important to choose good cleaning products carefully and clean them in the correct way, so as to maintain healthy and beautiful skin.

2. It is important to keep moisturizing during the changing seasons. It is very important to adhere to facial masks~

The main thing is to moisturize the skin, especially during the changing of seasons. Due to the imbalance of water and oil on the face, the skin will appear tight. At this time, the moisturizing mask can be used to improve microcirculation and enhance skin moisture, so that the skin and the moisturizing mask can have a positive interaction to achieve the best moisturizing effect.

3. The eyes are the windows to the soul, and the use of eye cream is very necessary

The eye skin is the thinnest skin on the human body, and it is also the most active part, and it is also the skin that is pulled during makeup. Wrinkles are easily formed in the most frequent areas, and once they appear, they are difficult to eliminate. No one wants their beautiful eyes to develop annoying fishtails early. Learning to take care of your eyes starts with using eye cream.

The more skin care products you apply, the better. The dosage is also important. In addition to toner, the more the better, and the essence, eye cream, lotion, and facial cream should be in appropriate amounts. Don’t use them as the effect will be counterproductive, so you won’t lose your skin. Is it worth the money invested by the little fairy for the sake of face~

This should be the most basic common sense question. The better absorbed must be put first!

Skin care is divided into morning and evening skin care, which will be a little different!

In the morning, you only need to simply moisturize and apply sunscreen because you may have to go out. Therefore, the base makeup should be light and not too much, which will burden the face and make the skin unable to breathe well throughout the whole day. Especially with the dust and haze outside, it is easy to clog the pores, so try to use as little as half a day!

There are relatively more skin care products for skin care at night. After cleansing, moisturizer is the basis!

Students can do a facial mask and then use lotion to bring enough moisture to the skin!

For those who are older, such as me, who is 28 years old, I am sure that a simple lotion cannot meet the deep needs of the skin. Appropriate additional skin care steps, creams and essences are indispensable!

Use the moisturizing ones in winter and the refreshing ones in summer!

The nutrient solution of the essence will promote absorption and has the ability to repair and anti-wrinkle, so the ingredients will be more advanced! Use together to keep your skin vibrant and elastic!

Deep cleansing must be done regularly. If the pores on the face are not cleaned for a long time, the pores will be clogged and the cuticles will be too thick. No matter how good the skin care products are, they will not be absorbed! So this step is very important!

This year’s popular magnet volcanic mud mask is also something I bought recently. It can directly absorb the dirt on the face, open the pores, and there will be a layer of essential oil on the surface for massage. , so it’s very clean and thorough after use!

Make you look good even without makeup! After cleaning in this way, your skin care products will be absorbed better and more effectively!

I hope it can help everyone. It is also my own skin care experience sharing. Everyone has different habits, but as long as you stick to the following things, your skin will definitely get better and better! Moma

If the skin care steps are wrong, no matter how expensive the skin care products are, it will be a waste. This sentence is not alarmist. The correct skin care concept, suitable skin care products and standards Skin care steps are the key factors that determine the quality of your skin.

If you want to be beautiful, you must not be lazy. So what is the correct order of skin care?

Step1 Cleansing

The first step of skin care is, of course, starting with cleansing. A good cleanser is clean and non-irritating. The face will not feel tight after washing. The following skin care and Makeup is also easier to apply.

In the morning, I usually use amino acid facial cleanser. It is very cost-effective, quite mild, and has very rich foam. While it cleans efficiently in the morning, it can also massage my face delicately. It keeps me in a good mood all day long. Pleasant.

Step2 Lotion

After cleansing, the oil on the surface of the face will be cleansed, and then you need to replenish it immediately. Remember, when using, it is best to wipe the face from the inside out and bottom up with a cotton pad, and don’t forget the neck.

Step3 Eye Cream

Many of my friends think that eye cream should be used at night, but they don’t know that eye cream for skin care in the morning is also essential. Young girls want to remove fine lines and dark circles, and older girls want to remove puffiness and fight aging. All of these must start with eye care.

Most eye creams nowadays have the effect of improving dark circles and smoothing fine lines. Only by consistent use can you see the effect. In addition to these two points, I also recommend that you choose eye cream with plant ingredients. The skin around the eyes is relatively soft, and the plant ingredients are less irritating and can be better absorbed by gentle massage.

Step4 Essence

Essence is to extract the high nutrients needed by the skin and concentrate them. Essence has become one of our essential skin care products now. The right essence is non-greasy and easy to absorb after application, and it is non-irritating and can keep the face fresh. Nowadays, some products also have whitening and anti-aging functions. You still need to try more to find the product that suits you.

Step5 Lotion

Finally, we mentioned lotion. Many skin care products come in a set. It is easier to buy a set, but it often happens that the water is used up and there is still half a bottle of lotion. situation, this is rather embarrassing.

When this happens, it is most likely that the lotion you choose is relatively oily, and you unconsciously reduce the amount of lotion you use when applying makeup. In fact, the non-greasy and easy-to-absorb lotion can not only lock in the previous hydration, but also maintain moisturizing. You need to try more to choose the one that suits you.

Step 6 Face Cream

Many girls may use up one bottle of face cream. In fact, we should use different face creams according to the seasons, because the state of the skin is different in each season. In winter, Dry skin is suitable for moisturizing creams, and the weather has been getting hotter recently. The most important thing is that it is non-greasy, has a gentle and light texture, and allows our skin to breathe freely in summer.

After applying the cream, the skin care steps are almost over. Have you remembered them all~~

Step7 Sunscreen/Spray

Of course, there is the easiest An overlooked point is that no matter what season, whether there is sunlight or not, ultraviolet rays are always present. As long as there is ultraviolet rays, you must protect yourself from the sun. Outdoor workers are often exposed to ultraviolet radiation, and the aging of their skin is very obvious, and it is not easy to recover.

So don’t take sun protection seriously, otherwise all your expensive whitening and anti-aging essences will be in vain. If you don’t like the texture of sunscreen, you can also choose sunscreen spray when the ultraviolet rays are not so strong or in a climate. In short, sunscreen is essential.

Correct skin care steps: 1. Cleansing (including makeup removal) 2. Lotion 3. Body serum 4. Eye cream 5. Essence 6. Lotion or face cream 7. Sunscreen or isolation cream 8.BB Cream or CC cream cleansing: Cleansing is always the first step before skin care. If you use cosmetics other than skin care products, you need to use a makeup remover before using the cleanser. Lotion: Its function is to cleanse again to restore the pH value of the skin surface, condition the stratum corneum, and prepare for the use of skin care products below. Muscle base fluid: Its function is to increase the absorption of subsequent skin care products. Its nutrients can activate and repair cells, and can better introduce the ingredients of skin care products.

Just a reminder, not everyone needs to use serum! If your skin is very healthy and absorbs the product well, you can skip this step. On the other hand, if you have sensitive skin or poor absorption, you should use it. First, it can improve the sensitivity of the skin; second, it can enhance the absorption effect of subsequent skin care products. Eye cream: Eye cream only needs to be applied around the eyes. Skin care products such as lotions and creams need to avoid the skin around the eyes. Essence: Generally, the concentration of nutrients in essences is relatively high, which can achieve more obvious skin care effects on the skin. Essences have relatively small molecules and should be used before lotions and creams. At the same time, the essence should also follow the principles of anti-aging-whitening-moisturizing. Lotion or cream: Use it after the essence. If you have oily skin, you can just use lotion. If you have dry skin, you can use cream after lotion. The lotion has a large water content, which can better replenish moisture, and also contains a small amount of oil, which can moisturize the skin. The cream has a relatively large oil content and has a better moisturizing effect on dry skin.

Sunscreen or barrier cream (with sun protection function): Sun protection is the last step in skin care. You can usually use sunscreen products around SPE15 when going to work, and you can choose SPE30 in summer. If you go to the beach or outdoors, it is recommended to use SPE50 or so. When the ultraviolet rays are not strong, you can use a sunscreen barrier cream. If both are to be used, it is recommended to use sun protection first and then isolate. BB cream or CC cream: BB or CC cream should be used after sunscreen or isolation cream. It has the functions of covering blemishes, adjusting skin tone, sun protection, and refining pores. Its texture is light and thin, and it can create a nude makeup effect. 1. The correct order of lotions

To understand the order of using lotions, let’s first understand their main functions, right? The function of toner is to cleanse again, restore the pH value of the skin surface, and condition the stratum corneum so that the skin can better absorb it and prepare for the use of skin care products. The biggest feature of lotion is that it has a high water content, which can instantly moisturize the skin and replenish dry skin with moisture.

In addition, lotion can form a light and breathable protective film on the surface of the skin, which can prevent moisture loss and achieve an excellent moisturizing effect. Therefore, in terms of efficacy, toner should be used first, followed by lotion. Toner can open pores and serve as a precursor to subsequent emulsion injection. 2. Correct skin care routine

Here we also popularize our daily skin care routine, so that beauties can avoid some detours. Everything becomes beautiful easily.

1. Wash your face: The first step in skin care when washing your face, remember to wash your face with warm water, and remember to dry your face after washing your face.

2. Toner: It is advisable to use a cotton pad to apply toner. During the application process, use your fingertips to pat the face gently to allow the toner to be fully absorbed by the face

3. Eye cream : This is a step that many people ignore. After we reach the age of 25, we must develop a good habit of applying eye cream.

4. Emulsion: If you use eye cream, the emulsion needs to be avoided around the eyes. Apply the emulsion several times separately, otherwise the nutrients will not be absorbed.

5. Facial cream: Facial cream is equivalent to a cover, locking in the nutrients of your previous skin care products. At the same time, the nutritional content is also very high. However, it can be used appropriately in summer. Facial cream is a nourishing skin care product. It will be greasy if used in summer, so just apply lotion.

Most of the products are moisturized first and then emulsified. However, Japan's famous Orbin and the currently popular lady brand Decor under Kose have both. The series of products is milk first and then water.

Why, because like Decor and Albin Penetrating Cream, they both have powerful penetrating technology that they are proud of.

After we usually wash our face, we will find that as the water is lost, the skin will easily become "hard". Whether it is Albin penetrating lotion or Decor lotion, their concept is to use The lotion first softens and conditions the skin to bring it to a relatively balanced state of water and oil, allowing the skin to have better absorption.

Then use the matching lotion to allow the water to penetrate deep into the skin with the oil and nutrients in the lotion instead of floating on the surface of the skin, so that the skin can achieve a long-lasting state that is not easy to dry out. Hydrating and moisturizing.

As for the actual use experience?

I have never used Decor, so I can’t comment on it. I personally have been using Albin Healthy Water + Penetrating Milk for a long time (the fourth set has been opened so far). As far as my personal experience is concerned, Albin’s conditioning and stabilizing capabilities are very powerful. The emulsion is light and moist, has very good water permeability and is absorbed quickly. There will be small-scale breakouts when I first use it ( Personally, it disappears in 2 weeks), and my skin condition is very good so far. When it is dry in autumn and winter, I just use it with cream and oil.

In fact, you don’t need to worry too much about the correct steps. There is no method that is completely suitable for everyone. For products like Orbin and Decor, just follow the instructions on their products, and follow the regular application method of first applying water and then emulsifying. The most important thing for your skin is good products.

Speaking of skin care steps, it is actually a big knowledge!

Because we have many daily skin care products, should we apply lotion or eye cream first? Should I apply essence or eye cream first? These are all very particular! Only when you know the correct skin care steps can the skin care products you use work best.

The first step of cleansing

I believe I don’t need to say anything more about this step. In the morning skin care steps, no matter what skin care products you apply afterwards, the first step must be cleansing. , only after washing your face clean can you talk about the subsequent skin care steps, and the skin care products can be better absorbed.

Regarding the choice of facial cleanser, I suggest that girls with dry skin, oily skin or sensitive skin should choose amino acid facial cleanser to wash their face. This will cause harm to the face. It is relatively small and can also balance the oil secretion on the face.

The second step of lotion

The correct way to apply lotion on the face is actually not the usual way. After washing the face, just apply lotion on the face. The correct method is to gently pat the toner on your face after washing your face until the toner is completely absorbed, then apply lotion and massage and punch until it is completely absorbed.

This must be done so that the lotion can be completely absorbed by the face. Many people find it muddy and greasy when using lotion because it is not fully absorbed.

< /p>

The third step: eye cream and essence

Regarding eye cream and essence, should you apply eye cream or essence first? I believe this is the biggest question in the minds of many little fairies! Here, I want to say that the correct skin care step is to apply the essence first and then the eye cream, so that the eye cream can be better absorbed by the skin around the eyes.

The fourth step is facial cream and sunscreen

The last step in morning cleansing is actually sunscreen.

Many little fairies don’t take sunscreen seriously in their daily lives, especially girls with oily and combination skin. They always feel that sunscreen is just a sticky thing, which is particularly uncomfortable to wear in summer. , but even if you don’t like it, you should take sun protection seriously and apply it every day so that your skin will not be harmed by ultraviolet rays.
