WHAT IS FACIAL ESSENCE?
Hands up anyone who doesn't dream of having healthy, youthful skin? You’re not the only one. According to all studies, slowing down the signs of aging is one of our greatest dreams. Raise your hand if you have already incorporated facial essence into your daily beauty routine. Although we can't see you (all of you), we predict that many of you have not yet discovered the benefits of this real gem.
We all have one mission in life (aesthetically speaking): to have a perfect face. And it seems that now is the time to achieve it. Essence, the great unknown for many users, has arrived with the aim of improving the condition of our skin. In fact, it is a top seller in Korean cosmetics and those who know it "kill for it". But what really is facial essence?
Perfect skin is not a thing of the past
Slowing down the effect of aging on our skin has become a challenge. After the age of 30, collagen and elastin production decreases and cell regeneration diminishes, causing the skin to lose density and elasticity. From this moment on is when we start to notice changes in the texture of our skin and its appearance, such as expression lines, skin blemishes, wrinkles, rough and dull skin.
However, contrary to popular belief, genetics only account for 20% of the signs of aging. The remaining 80% is caused by environmental and lifestyle factors, such as sun exposure (the number one cause of premature aging), dehydration, poor diet, smoking, lack of sleep and, of course, stress. It can be overwhelming, but there's also good news: achieving smooth, glowing skin is well within our grasp. The key? Making a few small lifestyle changes and incorporating an effective anti-aging beauty routine with a facial essence.
Include facial essence in your beauty routine
Moisturizer, serum, makeup remover... must-haves in any self-respecting beauty routine. But among these must-haves in any beauty bag, we must add an essential product: facial essence, an essential in the beauty routines of Asian women for a long time.
Why? This product contains a high concentration of active ingredients that repair and strengthen skin cells. Also, by penetrating the deeper layers of the skin, it increases the effectiveness of other treatments. For this reason, it’s recommended to use it as a primer in any beauty routine.
Facial essence is very similar to a serum, although not the same. It contains a high concentration of active ingredients that repair and strengthen skin cells, designed to restore the skin's healthy appearance. Also, by penetrating the deepest layers of the skin, it increases the effectiveness of other treatments, which is why it’s recommended to use it as a primer in any beauty routine. In short, it’s one of the most effective beauty products available because, when used daily, it improves skin conditions.
What types are there?
There are many facial essences with different formulas to target the skin according to its needs. However, the main purpose of this product is to repair and moisturize the skin. Our recommendation? Biotherm's Life Plankton™ Essence facial essence. With its active ingredient Life Plankton™, a living microorganism from the thermal waters of the French Pyrenees, this essence puts an end to fine lines, dehydration, dryness, redness, repairs damage caused by prolonged sun exposure and restores the skin's radiance in just 8 days. It has a very lightweight texture, quickly absorbed, which transforms into a serum after application. It contains 35 vitamins, nutrients, lipids and amino acids that are essential for cell regeneration.
And for those with oily skin, Biotherm has the new Life Plankton™ Clear Essence. This facial essence has a very lightweight texture that includes a host of micro-exfoliants that put an end to dull skin and restore the skin's natural radiance. It also helps reduce excess oil by tightening pores and treating imperfections.
How to use it?
After thoroughly cleansing the face and before using moisturizer, apply a few drops to the palms of your hands and press gently on the forehead, cheeks, chin and neck. To help the facial essence penetrate deeper and stimulate blood circulation, you can tap your fingertips on the skin as if it were a drum. Finally, make a series of undulating movements (similar to the waves of the sea), from the center to the sides. This fast-absorbing essence is ideal for everyday use and there's even a new mask version, perfect for when you're away from home or traveling.
The results?
The goal of the facial essence is to mitigate wrinkles and fine lines in one week and increase the radiance of your face. Smoother, more hydrated and luminous skin. What more could you ask for?
