You must be familiar with facial care, namely toner. For your information, Essentia Apothecary has a hydrating toner that can moisturize and make your skin healthier, you know.
In order to maximize the absorption and hydration of hydrating toner, the application of the product must be adjusted based on your skin type, you know, Ladies.
Here's how to use hydrating toner correctly as summarized from The Klog below.
1. For oily and combination skin: Use cotton
For those with oily and combination skin, applying toner using cotton is the best way. The method is, pour enough toner on a piece of cotton, then gently wipe the cotton on the face.
Quoted from The Klog, when we wipe cotton and toner on our skin, both will lift excess oil and dirt that may still be left on our skin. That way, we can minimize the potential for clogged pores.
In addition, applying hydrating toner with cotton also prepares the skin to absorb skin care products afterwards, such as essence and serum.
2. For normal and dry skin: Use your hands
The best way to apply hydrating toner for normal to dry skin is to use your hands. Pour enough toner into your palm, spread the toner evenly over the entire surface of your hands, then rub your face with your hands using a gentle tapping or pressing motion.
The gentle tapping motion and natural body heat from our hands will help the toner absorb better and faster into our skin. The skin will be better hydrated and ready to receive the next skincare product.
3. For very dry skin: Use a DIY sheet mask
If you have very dry skin, using a special sheet mask paper is the best way to apply hydrating toner. This method provides the best level of hydration compared to the previous methods. In fact, this method is believed to be able to maintain your skin's hydration levels longer.
Use dry compression paper similar to sheet mask materials that you can get on your preferred e-commerce. Usually, this compression paper comes in a dry condition and is shaped like a small tablet.
If you don't have compression paper, you can use regular thin cotton. Pour the hydrating toner of your choice onto the cotton until the entire surface is wet. Then apply it to the driest parts and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. After that, massage your face gently so that the toner can absorb better.
