What is the correct way to use toner?

Among the bottles and jars of skin care products that women have, there is one thing that is indispensable no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, and that is toner. Toner has a wide range of uses and can be divided into several categories according to its different effects, such as hydrating, whitening and shrinking pores. But do you know that no matter how good the skin care effect of toner is, if you use it incorrectly, you will not achieve the skin care effect you want. So what is the correct way to use toner?

1. Hands VS cotton pads: Use cotton pads to dip into toner and apply it. It can moisturize and cleanse again. If you use your hands to "preheat" the toner before applying it on your face, it will be easier to penetrate into the skin and its effectiveness will be doubled.

2. Emergency use of 30-second toner: Apply toner immediately after cleansing. Apply toner within 30 seconds to 2 minutes after washing your face to increase the skin's moisture content. If you want to keep your skin hydrated, it is best to put toner and moisturizing lotion in the bathroom and apply them on your face after washing. Never wait until the moisture on your face dries up before applying it, otherwise the effectiveness of your skin care will be greatly reduced.

3. Toner + lotion to lock in moisture: Toner and lotion should be used together. Because even the most moisturizing toner will evaporate quickly when applied to the face. Only by using lotion on top of toner can the moisture be sealed in the skin.

4. Toner should also be changed when the seasons change: Toner can be roughly divided into two categories. One type has the effect of softening the skin, and this type of toner is more suitable for the dry seasons of autumn and winter; the other type can make the skin firmer. This type of toner with astringent and firming skin effect is suitable for use in the humid spring and summer.

5. Oil control in the T zone and moisturizing in the U zone: The skin around the eyes and lips is thinner than other parts. If you apply skin care products with too high concentration, oil particles will easily appear. This is when toner comes in handy, providing instant moisturizing benefits to the skin. Due to its light texture, it is easy to penetrate and will not clog the pores around the eyes and lips.

Now that you know the correct way to use toner and stick to it, you will soon see the skin care results you want. I would also like to remind all my friends that many brands of toners contain chemical ingredients such as alcohol. Although they can work quickly, long-term use will make your skin dependent. This will not only fail to help your skin but may even make it worse. Therefore, it is recommended that you learn some methods to make your own toner.
