When you think of an Essence you might think of the beautiful brand Essence , we agree ;-). But an Essence is so much more! In this blog I will explain to you what an Essence exactly is and why you should use an essence.
What is an Essence?
An essence looks like a toner but it is not quite the same. Do you still get it? An essence is a light liquid that is full of active ingredients and keeps your skin moist. This allows your skin to better absorb a serum or cream . Very simply put: an essence provides a hydrating layer that prepares your skin to better absorb a serum or cream.
Difference between toner and essence
In terms of structure, an essence is very similar to a toner, but the two products are actually completely different. You use a toner to remove the last traces of your make-up, and a toner often contains alcohol so that it dries faster and your skin stays "wet" for a shorter period of time.
An essence has a finer texture and is made to penetrate deep into your skin and thus care for your skin more. With an essence you actually apply an extra layer that you removed with a toner.
How do you apply an essence?
Where you apply a toner with a cotton pad, you apply an essence with your fingers and pat it into your skin with your fingertips. So make sure your fingers are clean ;-) The warmth of your fingers in combination with a light pressure on your skin helps to stimulate the blood circulation.
