Use Essence

Wash and exfoliate your face before applying your serum. Wash your face with a cleanser or scrub. Wet your face and rub the cleanser onto your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. Move your fingers in circular motions over your face, then wash your face clean. Washing your face removes surface dirt and oil while exfoliating deeply cleans pores.

• For best results, wash your face every day and exfoliate 3-4 times a week. Don’t do chemical and physical exfoliation, such as a scrub and glycolic acid, on the same day.

If it is a thin serum, you can put a drop on various parts of the face. The amount of serum you use depends on its consistency. Only a small amount of thin serum is needed. Put a drop on your finger and apply it to your cheeks. Repeat this step and apply the serum to the other cheek, forehead, nose, and chin. Apply gently from bottom to top.

If it is a thick essence, pour 3-5 drops into your palms and rub it warm before applying it to your face. Thick essence needs to be warmed before application. Pour a few drops of essence onto the palm of your hand, rub your hands together to spread the essence evenly on both hands. Then gently press onto cheeks, forehead, nose and chin, applying to entire face.

• Gently sweep with your fingers to press the essence into the skin so that it can penetrate deep into the skin.

Gently pat the skin for 30-60 seconds until the essence is absorbed. After applying the essence to your skin, place your fingers on your cheeks and gently press the skin in small circular motions. Massage the entire face like this for about 1 minute.

• This helps the essence penetrate deep into the skin.

Wait 1 minute before applying moisturizer all over your face. The serum is usually absorbed into the skin within a minute. Afterward, squeeze a dime-sized amount of moisturizer onto your hands and apply it to your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin.

Tips

• If you use the serum daily, you should see results within 7-14 days.
• Don’t use a night serum during the day, as this can lead to dry skin, breakouts, and sunburn.
• Don’t use too much serum. Most people use a pea-sized amount to apply all over their face. Excess serum cannot be absorbed by the skin and may cause skin irritation or breakouts.
