I have noticed that some vendors say to press in the face product ( like Josie Maran's Argon Milk) and some say to rub it in (Perricone's Neuropeptide Lotion). Does it really make a difference? How do you apply your face products?

If it's a moisturizer I rub it into my face, if it's an eye cream I pat or tap it in.

I mostly pat since reubbing slightly stretches the skin.  I'm sure either way will cause absorption.

It might make a wee difference (or not) in the method of application for the type of skincare you are using.

 

Actually, I gave this a lot of thought, and I do things several ways: oil massage (well, that is self-explanatory); water-type toners patted in (patting for facial stimulation); serums are smoothed on; moisturizer, pressed in.

I smooth on serums and usually press in oils. Once in a while I’ll swipe oils on too.

 

The only rubbing I do is with my cleanser.  I try to avoid rubbing my skin as much as possible.

It's a good question!

 

I have decided to tap it in instead of smoothing it on.

 

Just to see if it makes any difference!
