I have 4 essences: tatcha which I use in the morning first and then a serum ( ferulic acid and vit c)
Night essence is EL then EL ANR and then niacinamide serum


@monicakm

In what order do you use those 4 essences? Thanks

I should have said that I also have Exuviance essence and another essence which is a hydrating toner spray. I haven't used those much yet

To seal in moisturizers, it is suggested to use an oil. Basically nothing gets past an oil in either direction.  So after essences, serums, and moisturizers then apply an oil. I use squalane oil.

Now if you really want some good hydration, check out Cosrx 96% snail mucin. I am about to wrap up my fourth bottle and have one waiting in the wings. Google it.  It is an excellent source of hydration. And no snails are harmed in the manufacturing of snail mucin.  Snails have to be happy and content to excrete their mucin. They live in dark cold clammy environments and crawl across a mesh screen. Their mucin falls to vats below the screen where it is refined and purified for our faces.

LOL. 

Yeah You just don't want to pull your hands apart too slowly after rubbing the product between them.  It tends to be kinda stringy😄🐌

 

Main Benefits: Moisturizes skin, promotes collagen production, aids in skin healing and regeneration. Who Should Use It: In general, snail mucin can be used on all skin types, though its hydrating properties make it especially choice for those with dry skin
