Have you heard of beauty essences? Do you know what they are? If not, you've probably got lots of ideas about what they could be! Despite the fact that beauty essences are not very well known (yet!), their benefits have been proven – and the skin loves them!

For many Korean women, a beauty essence is a key step in their skincare routine. It looks and feels much like a facial toner (which, of course, everyone has heard of!), but while its texture may be similar, its properties are quite different. A toner is usually designed to revive and tone your skin, whereas an essence cares for your skin and makes it more receptive to the products applied afterwards.

Although an essence is not as rich in active ingredients as a serum, it can be used instead of one – especially if your skin is still young and you don't feel ready to use a serum yet, but want to find an effective, protective, antioxidant skincare product.

Sometimes it can be difficult to regulate and balance the skin. This is often due to a double problem: the skin lacks hydration but produces too much sebum. As a result, your T-zone may become shiny at the slightest upset, while the skin around your cheeks and temples may feel tight. The solution to these two problems is the same: you need to hold moisture in the skin in order to stabilize and control sebum production.

At Absolution, we believe in choosing your skincare according to your skin's mood. L'Essence Botanique PURETÉ works to hydrate the skin's upper layers, remove impurities, and help restore balance to temperamental skin. Ideal for skin that lacks vitality, it helps to tighten pores, boost microcirculation, reduce redness and regulate sebum production.

Rich in Hemp oil, Burdock root and Myrtle (considered a sacred shrub since the days of Ancient Rome), L'Essence Botanique Pureté helps to calm and soothe tired, overworked skin. By effectively fighting bacterial attacks, it removes impurities on the skin surface and helps to prevent blemishes from forming while offering astringent and purifying properties. Use it as often as you wish!

HOW

Dispense a small amount into the palm of your hands, then apply by lightly pressing your palms over your entire face. The warmth of your palms will help it to absorb into your skin.

WHEN

We recommend using L'Essence Botanique in the morning to give your skin a boost and purify it before you begin a long day. You can also use it in the evening, after cleansing, to enjoy a relaxing, soothing skincare moment. Follow with your usual skincare routine.
