Pressing vs Sweeping vs Buffing
Pressing embeds product into the skin and improves longevity. Sweeping distributes product lightly but can lift base layers. Buffing blends but increases friction and warmth.
Professionals choose motion intentionally based on skin condition and desired finish, not habit.
