Thick creams are reserved for only when I sleep otherwise my skin will react with humidity during daytime use.
7 layer method is actually supposed to be done with toner.. it originates in korea and if you were to actually put 7 layers of essence (which is like a watery serum but thicker than water) on your skin, it would be way too much. i used to do it with toner and even found that 2-3 layers was very sufficient and i have DRRRYYY skin like peely-type dry. this much essence would cost you way too much money and honestly wouldn't have much effect. i would suggest to try it with toner if you're interested in it because toner can actually absorb a LOT better than essence can, meaning drying times between layers will be shorter and it will actually penetrate into your skin... she looks glowy but that's because there's a beauty filter and too much product on her skin if she's doing 7 layers of essence. toner, toner, toner!
@@mariyam9 you just apply thin layers with drying time in between. when it feels like the toner has absorbed mostly or all of it, kinda like if your skin has drank it up, apply the next layer. i would suggest using your fingers/hands for 7-step because a cotton pad that many times could be a bit sensitive or harsh. but yeah, apply a layer, let it dry, apply the next one and repeat until you're satisfied (: it's not done often anymore but i know there's still some people who swear by it (: just don't use an alcohol toner because those are already irritating in one layer hahaha edit: you could also use a spray bottle to apply it. i usually apply toner this way anyway (just get the travel spray bottles at the dollar store) but sometimes i do 2-3 layers with drying between if my skin feels like it needs some extra hydration (: good luck!
Too bad I'm a broke high school student who can't afford these things T_T But I have to say I have incredibly sensitive skin so using a lot of products tend to irritate it. So all I use is a cleanser with salicylic acid, moisturizer, and aloe vera gel while also applying sunscreen regularly

You can use an essence every day if you want to, morning or night or both. You do still need to use a moisturiser to lock your skincare products in and to minimise epidermal waterloss. You can also use an eye cream on top. I hope this helps.
I am sorry essence is the cure for texture?? An essence and toner are essentially the same and there basic function is to balance the skin ph and prepare the skin for serums. A toner with actives are essentially treatment toners bordering on treatments themselves. An aha or bha would help with skin texture
At what step do I apply the essence in? I wash my face apply my vitamin c serum and moisturize. So would the essence go on before or after my vitamin c?
Can someone help me? I would like to know what is the difference between a toner and essences. Thank you. I only use cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen but I want to do more for my skin. Any tips? 🧡

It will only do that if it's not moisturized underneath. Try using a toner first that is soothing, hydrating or moisturizing. Snail mucin is for healing and repair.
yes, it is not as hydrating as it is hyped to be. Though it did help in removing my foreheads texture as she said in the video.Benton Snail essence is much hydrating than that, and also gives brightness.
For me it was a combination of needing to hydrate with an essence instead of layering heavier moisturizers on the skin, needing to double cleanse to ensure proper makeup removal, and as mine was subliminal acne, using a retinol 2-3x a week
I thought I was purchasing an Essence with the BOJ as on the box it states it is a Ginseng Essence Water. The consistency of it is like water, very thin liquid. I like it very much and while keeping my skin hydrated I have used other brands of essences that provide more hydration for my skin. I have seen labels such as Essence, Ginseng Essence, Ginseng Toner, etc. It can be confusing.
I'm not going to say anything related to the products...others have said plenty about it. But the picture of your skin that you inserted? Yeah, it's completely normal to have that texture. You, as an influencer should be well aware that people as young as 13 might be watching your videos and some of them may be dealing with various skin issues themselves. If you had inserted pictures of your troubled skin, it would have been different.

Not too much like an eye cream Routine - that skin is delicate. If you pump 2-3 pumps for your face and neck you can pat it amongst those eye areas on what’s left on your hand and let it absorb into your skin for next step :)

Now if you were in your mid 60s and talking to me about the fine lines then I would know your you know what you’re talking about but at your age you shouldn’t have many fine lines at all at least I didn’t at your age.
I’m 17 with dehydrated skin and have a couple of fine lines on my forehead. You don’t have to be older to have fine lines caused by dryness or dehydration. It can even be simply genes. Wrinkles on the other hand are definitely not supposed to happen in your twenties, but that isn’t to say it can’t happen

The concept of the 7 layer method is that you use 7 layers of the same toner not one layer of 7 toners.
I do both....sometimes the same toner and sometimes different toners.
