HOW TO USE A KOREAN ESSENCE
Although an essence may look like a toner it is actually quite different. Most are tempted to use a cotton ball like a toner but when you do this you are wasting the product. Rather than using a cotton ball you squeeze a little bit of essence on your fingers and carefully press and pat it on your face. When you press the essence on your face it will quickly absorb into your skin and then use a moisturizer right after. The essence will promote circulation and targets pigmentation; therefore give you that youthful and bright glow!
