Do I need to wash my face after using toner?

Toner is an essential part of the skin care process. It can nourish and moisturize the skin well and bring full moisture to the skin. There are many ways to use toner.

Facial masks are not used every day, but the essence molecules in toner are small and easily absorbed by the skin, so wet compresses can be done every day.

Wet compress can help soften facial cuticles and help the essence of subsequent skin care products penetrate deeper into the skin, so that the effectiveness of the product itself can be fully exerted.

4. Time of wet compress

The wet compress can be applied for three minutes or ten minutes. If it is ten minutes, you must pay attention to controlling the moisture of the cotton pad and do not let it dry out quickly, otherwise it will absorb the moisture on your face. So if you find the cotton pad is dry, you can continue to pour some toner on it.

5. How to use wet compress

Soak a cotton pad with toner until it is 80% to 90% wet, spread it out carefully, and apply it to the chin, cheeks, nose, and forehead, one piece each.

7. Precautions for wet compress

1. You can add other skin care essences to wet compress, but it still depends on your skin condition.

2. Make sure your hands and cotton pads are clean before applying wet compress.

3. When applying wet compress, keep the cotton pad moist, not too dry, and pay attention to the time of wet compress.

8. Selection of wet compress toner

1. When choosing a toner for wet compresses, it should be gentle and avoid those with irritating ingredients, such as high-concentration alcohol, high-concentration fruit acid, salicylic acid ingredients, volatile alcohols, fragrances, and some allergenic ingredients.

2. Choose according to your own needs and skin condition, whether you want whitening or moisturizing, and don’t follow the trend blindly.

3. Toner contains a variety of additives that will only stay on the surface of the skin and have no effect, and may even cause a burden on the skin. The main purpose of wet compress is to keep the skin hydrated, so you still have to carefully choose the product according to your skin type.
