Dosing and administration

You should choose a product that matches your skin type, otherwise irritation, red spots, and itching may occur. To avoid causing comedones, the emulsion should be applied in a thin layer.

The method of applying emulsions for the face is slightly different from creams of normal consistency. Firstly, they need to be shaken before applying to clean skin. Secondly, the product is better absorbed after "warming" in the hands. Thirdly, emulsions are not smeared, but rather pressed with palms, then rubbed with palms and applied to the face while hot. The warmth of the hands will further enhance the absorption of useful components. Makeup can be done a few minutes after applying the moisturizing emulsion.

Facial emulsions allow for less mechanical impact on the face, that is, less harm to the skin through contact and rubbing.

In case of overdose of sea and sun baths, the whole body should be wiped with emulsion. To prevent callused knees and elbows, the procedure is performed twice a day. The same applies to the feet. They are also wiped with palms or a cosmetic sponge.
