Correct steps/recommended using time

Besides choosing the right essence, properly using it is also essential and directly related to nutrient absorption. Generally, essence should be after using a cleanser and toner so that fully-softened skin stratum corneum can absorb nutrients fully. Then a lotion or cream should be applied immediately to form a protective film on the skin surface, locking the nutrients further. What’s more, using time of the essence is also essential. There should be an emphasis on daytime and nighttime, respectively, to achieve a comprehensive maintenance effect.
