The difference between toner and moisturizer

Lotion, moisturizing water, toner, astringent water, look at this long list of similar names. Some people may feel dizzy. It is true that many people cannot distinguish the nouns mentioned above.

What are the specific types of moisturizers?

In fact, after reading the previous article, I believe that anyone with a little text comprehension ability will know the difference between moisturizing water and toner. The two are in a relationship of inclusion and being included. So the next focus is to introduce the specific types of moisturizing water. Types of moisturizing water include toner, softener and astringent. Toner refers to lotion that is suitable for healthy skin, while astringent is mainly used to shrink pores.

The many uses of moisturizing water

1. In the morning, dip your hands in lotion and gently pat your face to wake up your skin.

2. During the day, the weather is too dry and the indoor air-conditioning environment will cause the skin to lose moisture quickly, so it is very important to moisturize the skin anytime and anywhere. Moisturizing lotion is best made into a spray and carried with you to calm and moisturize the skin at any time.

Pour the moisturizing lotion into a spray bottle to create a moisturizing spray.

Close your eyes and spray at a distance of 20 cm from your face, making sure the lotion is evenly sprayed on your face.

3. At night, we use the toner mask method introduced by Japanese skin care guru Chizu Saeki to quickly and easily moisturize the skin. Choose suitable moisturizing toner and cotton pads. Wet the cotton pad with water, place it in the palm of your hand to squeeze out the excess water, and then pour in alcohol-free lotion, about the size of a one-dollar coin. A thicker piece of cotton pad can be divided into 2-3 thinner pieces, which are easier to tear along the direction of the fibers. Apply the cotton pads to the upper and lower parts of your face. Apply it for 3 minutes. You can also choose to use a compressed mask and pour the lotion into the mask bowl. Put the compressed mask into lotion and allow it to fully absorb moisture and expand. Apply on face and remove after about five minutes.

4. In summer, if you accidentally get slightly sunburned, the most important thing at this time is to cool down the hot skin quickly, so you can put the moisturizing lotion in the refrigerator first, take it out and follow the steps in 3, apply it on the sunburned skin with a cotton pad to calm the skin.
