3 tips for using toner products

Toner has become an essential part of our daily skin care routine. However, do you still have many doubts about this small bottle of toner? Today, the editor will answer 6 toner myths that few people know!

1. Is the toner step necessary?

Expert advice: Cleansing, conditioning (lotion), and moisturizing are three steps that are closely linked and indispensable, and are the most basic elements for creating beautiful skin.

Toner can sterilize and regulate the pH value of the skin, regulate the cumulative damage of tap water (hard water) to the skin, and remove residual oil, makeup and metals and chlorides in tap water again. Therefore, toner is not just a bottle of water, it can re-condition the skin in a healthy and gentle manner, and help the effective absorption of subsequent skin care ingredients.

2. Is spray toner more effective than regular lotion?

Expert advice: There is no such saying.

Whether it is effective depends on the ingredients and whether these ingredients are suitable for you. If additional moisturizing factors are added to the spray, such as polyols, hyaluronic acid or ceramide, you can spray it evenly on your face and massage it lightly with your fingers, and then use eye cream, essence and moisturizer. However, if the spray only contains mineral ingredients, it should be positioned as a refreshing soothing water rather than a toner. It can be used to calm and relieve the stress, dryness, redness and heat that the skin is experiencing at a certain moment.

3. Is high-performance toner more effective than ordinary toner?

Expert advice: High-performance toner may not be suitable for everyone. It can have a good effect on extremely dry and aging skin, but for young skin, using ordinary toner is sufficient. Otherwise, the high-performance ingredients will not only be a waste but also will not have obvious effects.

In fact, all toners are derived from moisturizing toners. The only difference is that some toners have some functional ingredients added to them or have stronger penetration. High-performance lotions usually contain more expensive biochemical moisturizing factors, such as hyaluronic acid, mucopolysaccharides, collagen, amino acids, polypeptides, etc. They not only have high-quality moisturizing effects, but also have maintenance effects such as repair and anti-aging.
