FACE ESSENCE: THE SECRET TO
RADIANT, HYDRATED SKIN
WHAT IS A FACE ESSENCE?
A face essence, often called a face milk or essence lotion, is the ultimate prep step for your skin. Lighter than a serum but more multi-faceted than a toner, a face essence can deliver deep hydration while preparing your skin to absorb the full benefits of the products that follow. Toners primarily help cleanse and balance pH; essences, on the other hand, focus on infusing moisture and to leave skin feeling smooth and soft, and ready for results.
BENEFITS OF A FACE ESSENCE
Face essences can have a range of benefits, including some of the following:
Preps Skin: Sets the stage for your routine and can boost absorption.
Hydrates and Plumps: Draws hydration deep into the skin for a refreshed look.
Refines Texture: Smooths and softens over time for radiant, youthful skin.
Deliver benefits: Penetrates skin rapidly to reduce fine lines.
Lightweight for All Skin Types: Delivers hydration without heaviness.
