What is Essence?

Pronounced `esəns. Are not a toner! They are similar to toners in that they help prep your skin, but they are not interchangeable. Toners are the last step of cleansing getting rid of anything your cleanser left behind, while an essence is the first prep step in your skincare routine or treatment. They are basically you’re daily face vitamin.

What will it do?

Essences are incredibly lightweight (thinner than a serum) and zero in on specific concerns. It may seem like you’re putting expensive water on your face but they are typically packed with nutrients, antioxidants and vitamins that help hydrate and promote cell turnover. Basically giving your skin a brighter and smoother look and have incredible anti-aging benefits.

Tip

You need to pick your essence based off what you’re trying to target. An essence isn’t really there to help you re-balance the pH, it’s more for targeting fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tones or fighting free radicals.

Apply your essence after your toner step by patting and pressing gently into your skin.
