What is the difference between moisturizer and toner?

In modern life, people pay more and more attention to beauty and skin care. This is because the improvement of living standards has greatly increased people's demand for appearance. If you want to make your image healthier and more beautiful, you need to start with the skin and manage your skin. Commonly used things such as moisturizers and toners can bring very delicate changes to the skin. Let's take a look at the differences between moisturizers and toners.

Deep Moisturizing Lotion: Generally, it contains excellent moisturizing ingredients, and its main function is to perfectly moisturize and lock in moisture for a long time. It helps the skin quickly reach moisture balance and provides long-term moisturizing. The oil-locking water formula forms a moisturizing barrier and effectively improves the problem of long-term skin dehydration. After use, the skin will be smooth, moisturized and radiant.

Toner: Also known as astringent water, lotion, etc. Some toners contain trace amounts of alcohol, while others are purely plant-based.

The function of toner is to cleanse again to restore the pH value of the skin's surface, condition the stratum corneum, enable the skin to absorb better, and prepare for the use of skin care products.

After washing your face, you should generally apply toner first, and then use thermal lotion after the toner is absorbed by the skin. Both are moisturizing, but toner is better absorbed than moisturizer.

Additional information:

Toner is also called astringent water, lotion, etc. Some toners contain trace amounts of alcohol, while others are purely plant-based.

The function of toner is to cleanse again and restore the pH value of the skin surface, regulate the stratum corneum, enable the skin to absorb better, and prepare for the use of skin care products.

Toner, under normal circumstances, cannot be separated from alcohol. Moisturizing water is generally weakly alkaline and contains many ingredients that help cells absorb water. Therefore, highly moisturizing water is more expensive than ordinary toner.

Moisturizing lotion usually looks similar to the lotion we use, but it is more solid. This is because some gel ingredients are added to it to form a special texture between water and lotion.

The main function of moisturizing lotion is to moisturize and provide sufficient moisture to the skin. Toner is meant to cleanse the skin and of course it can also replenish moisture, but it cannot match the hydrating and moisture-locking capabilities of moisturizing water.
