Hello!
In European skincare, many changes inspired by Asian culture have taken place in recent years. There, as you probably know, skin care is raised in a cult and usually the routine is about 10 steps, compared to 4-5 in European. Personally, mine is different every day and the large number of products I have are combined according to its specific needs for the day. According to some experts, this is not in the right approach, according to others - the most important thing in my opinion in times when you are flooded with information about how to do it is to listen to yourself. Do you know how many steps your care is?
An essential step in the Asian routine is the application of essence after the tonic and before the serum. In Bulgaria you can now find a European brand that offers such a product - this is the new essence Glow up Water from Uriage.
It's not a serum, it's not a tonic. But it fits perfectly into any care no matter the skin type. Thanks to its ingredients - hyaluronic acid, prebiotic and uriage thermal water - Glow up Water hydrates the skin and takes care of restoring the skin barrier.
He thought that in 2020 for the first time more serious emphasis began to be placed on the care of the microbiome and that if the skin basin is weak, then the skin is more susceptible to both the appearance of more problems and faster aging.
Glow up Water replaces the serum in their Water Sirum series, which I really liked. A review of it can be found here. Glow up Water can be used on its own, but I think it is best to use it before the face cream. Even if you have oily skin, it will not affect oiliness in a negative way. On the contrary, hydrated skin produces less sebum. In the summer, there were days when I used the essence on my own before applying SPF cream.
It has a light scent and gives an instant moisturizing feeling to the skin. It's like rinsing your face with water.
In my opinion, if you have very dry skin, use it as a supplement before the face serum, followed by a cream. And if you have oily skin, use it before the cream, which you usually use and are satisfied with it. There are great oils on the market that hydrate oily skin and help control sebum.
How to use:
1st step: Apply a few drops of the product on the palms.
2nd step: Spread the amount evenly between the two hands.
3rd step: Apply on the face in the direction from the center to the cheekbones.
4th step: Finish with the placement of cream.
