What does toner do?

People's skin needs to absorb water to stay moisturized. If it is not moisturized frequently, the skin will become dry and age faster. So now people are pursuing hydration and moisturizing. Toner is a cosmetic that hydrates the skin. People often apply some toner before putting on makeup or after washing their face at night to keep the skin moisturized. So what role does toner play?

1. Toner has the effect of astringing the skin. After cleansing the face, it can shrink the open pores in time.

2. Toner can effectively deep clean the skin and further remove dirt from the pores.

3. Toner can hydrate the skin and prevent it from becoming dry and peeling due to dehydration.

4. Toner has a soothing effect, can reduce the stimulation of sebaceous glands, and prevent the vicious cycle of oil secretion.

5. Toner can soften cuticles, promote the metabolism of old cuticles, keep pores unobstructed, and facilitate nutrient absorption.

6. Boys tend to have oily skin, so using toner after cleansing can further cleanse the skin and regulate the water and oil balance.

1. First of all, toner can deeply cleanse our skin and completely remove residual acid and alkaline molecules.

2. Secondly, toner can also maintain the pH balance. We all know that our skin is an acidic environment, and the sebum film on the surface helps us maintain it. Another important function of toner is to help adjust the pH to achieve an ideal acidic environment.

3. Then toner can also replenish moisture. The skin's metabolic function requires a large amount of water, just like the human body.

4. Finally, toner can shrink pores. Choosing the right toner can make the skin tender and smooth, and can also resist the radiation of the fluorescent screen on the face. And it is quite necessary to apply toner before applying facial oil, which can help the skin absorb better.

Two major misunderstandings about using toner:

Misconception 1: Pour directly into your hands and then pat on your face

If your hands are not clean, the toner will get dirty. In fact, the toner poured on your hands has already evaporated in the air.

Myth 2: Toner is not the same as softener

There is actually not much difference between toner and softener. The only difference is that toner is more suitable for use in hot weather when the face is more oily, while softener is more suitable for use in dry seasons.
