Essence, why I should or shouldn't use one

So, let´s talk about essence´s, it is something that has only recently started getting popular in the western world, however, most people might not really know what it is or if they really need one. So, let´s that with the basics, there are 2 kinds of the essence, and you can actually use both of them in the same routine, that is what I do because they aim to do 2 very different things, let´s start with talking about the first essence.

The first essence would be the step right after cleansing, the name kind of gives it away from the first essence as in first. So, what is the difference in a first essence and a normal essence, well first of all a normal essence would go on after toner if you use a toner. So, one of the big differences between the normal essence and the first essence is that the first essence has a fermentation period which involves yeast, this process breaks down the compounds into smaller particles using a chemical reaction of enzymes, interesting right? So, this makes the active indigents that the product contains more effective since it allows it to absorb deeper into the skin. On top of that yeast fermentation naturally creates vitamins, antioxidants, and amino acids which all have great benefits for your skin as well as overall health. As for the active yeast ferment – ‘galactomyces ferment filtrate’ is the most recognizable fermented yeast on the market and claims to promote cell turnover rate for brighter, smoother, clearer, and more radiant skin and who doesn´t want that?

It has also been said by many that is it the miracle ingredient that can improve a range of skin issues, such as lack of skin elasticity, large pores, hyperpigmentation, acne, and wrinkles. Normally a first essence is very watery and sinks easily into the skin. I normally apply my first essence with my hands, I tap it in. I personally really do love the first essence in my routine since it does help get rid of dullness and it has helped me getting smoother and more glowy skin, however, do keep in mind it is not a miracle elixir of any kind, it is not going to get rid of all of your acne and all of your fine lines, however, it is going to be helpful in many ways, and it really does do a lot of good for your skin

So now to a normal essence, so this essence normally comes after toner and it has a simple ingredient list, sometimes some may even have just 1 ingredient, and it tends to be more target against fighting one specific skin issue you have, it is also thicker than the first essence and it is not fermented, however, I do enjoy using this kind of essence as well, I normally use both since they both do completely different things in my routine, I like my essence to be calming since my skin tend to get inflamed especially when it is hot outside. However, if I had to choose between the first essence and essence I would for sure choose the first essence since it does seem to have a lot more benefits for my skin at least.

I have some posts of my favorite essence, you can go read those, there will be links to those products in those posts. Hope you find what you need.
