Essence or Booster?

This is a question that often appears on our Instagram, so I'm rushing to answer. If you know someone who has been thinking about this choice, send them this post? (SERIOUSLY)

The choice is not easy, so I divided the post into several points: action, consistency and method of application. Choose a product that meets your expectations. Your care should be "tailor-made", contain natural nutrients and only high-quality oils and plant extracts.

ACTION:

The most important aspect that guides us when choosing care. How it works and what active ingredients it contains translates into the appearance of the skin. That is why it is extremely important to pay special attention to the choice of cosmetics.

If you are looking for intensive and long-lasting moisturization, it is worth choosing the essence. The trehalose contained in it has soothing and calming properties, restores moisture and makes the skin very soft. The Papaya and Turmeric facial essence also has antioxidants in its composition, which even out the color and brighten the skin. The version with snail slime regenerates and intensively moisturizes the skin.

But if you want to add an energy boost and fight skin aging, choose a natural Booster . Its unique ingredient - Reishi extract has rejuvenating and lifting properties. In the brightening booster , you will find the adaptogen Rhodiola rosea, which increases the skin's tolerance to unfavorable conditions, stress, free radicals, which are largely responsible for skin aging. This booster is best used during the day, it contains the mineral mica, which reflects light, making the skin radiant, and fine lines and skin creases less visible. This is an ideal product for people who like the glow effect. And at night, it is worth choosing a regenerating booster with Reishi and Purple Rice, which intensively nourishes the skin and is rich in antioxidants contained in a special, purple variety of rice. It supports skin regeneration during sleep, when it needs it most.

CONSISTENCY and FORMULA:

Boosters also differ from essences in consistency. Essence is an element of Korean care, in which very light products are important, which, when applied in layers, do not cause difficulty in absorption and do not burden the skin. Essence is slightly watery, has the consistency of a light gel, thanks to which it absorbs quickly and is easy to apply because it does not leak through the fingers. Its thickening ingredients are konjac tuber extract. This is an Asian plant that is not only responsible for the right consistency, but also has care properties.

Boosters , on the other hand, have the consistency of a light milky emulsion that absorbs quickly, but can also be used on its own (e.g. in the summer during hot weather). The formula of boosters is more substantial than that of essences .

APPLICATION METHOD:

The correct order of applying products is crucial to fully enjoy the results of using natural cosmetics. That is why special attention should be paid to the care routine.

After proper cleansing and toning of the skin, we apply the essence and/or booster. We do not wait for the previous product to be fully absorbed, e.g. we apply the booster on a wet toner, lightly pat it in, and then move on to applying the cream or oil.

If we want to include more elements in our care, we should maintain the following order:

1. Makeup Removal and Cleansing,
2. Toning,
3. Water serum and essence,
4. Booster,
5. Oil serum,
6. Cream,
7. Oil.

We can apply the cream at any time after toning.
