Selection of lotion:

1. What are the ingredients in toner?

At least 85% of lotion is water, and it also contains water-based water absorbents, as well as small amounts of pigments, fragrances, preservatives and other ingredients. Some lotions also have some functional ingredients added: for example, lotions with oil-control and astringent effects have astringents and alcohol added to them; lotions that can exfoliate have fruit acids and salicylic acid added to them.

2. How to identify the alcohol content in lotion?

Generally, lotions contain alcohol, and many beauties are worried that alcohol will irritate their skin, so they are troubled by this. In fact, lotion contains a small amount of alcohol, which can help calm the skin and reduce inflammation, and is helpful for acne-prone skin, but it may cause allergies to sensitive skin. When purchasing, you can pat the lotion on your hands. If it evaporates quickly and feels cool, it means that the alcohol content is high. Some high-performance lotions contain higher concentrations of alcohol to make their active ingredients more easily penetrate. This increases the irritation of the product, and long-term use will cause keratin denaturation.
