What are the correct usage and steps for lotion?

All women who have put on makeup know that if the skin is too dry, many cosmetics will not work well, and various cosmetics will not be absorbed by the skin, so the makeup will be very unnatural. Therefore, you must use toner. Toner can not only moisturize the skin, but also tighten the pores of the skin. Its function is very powerful. So how to use toner correctly?

1. Astringent lotion: Use a cotton pad to pat gently to tighten pores

Astringent lotion is suitable for oily skin, combination skin, and acne-prone skin. Due to excessive oil secretion, people with oily skin often have the problem of enlarged pores, which easily form dirt and lead to the growth of acne. Using a cotton pad to pat on the pores to shrink them is a great way to reduce the appearance of enlarged pores. If you have combination skin, you can use astringent lotion only on the oily T-zone, and use moisturizing lotion on other drier areas.

2. Gel-type lotion: Apply directly with your hands

Some lotions are thick or gel-like. Such lotions are more effective when applied directly with your hands rather than wiped with a cotton pad. The key to application is not to pat it, but to use the pads of your middle and ring fingers to slowly apply it to the entire face, just like applying lotion, and gently press in areas where the skin is thinner, such as around the eyes.

3. Moisturizing lotion: use lotion mask to absorb

Moisturizing lotion is a common type among lotions and is suitable for all skin types. It is especially suitable for the skin of office workers who work under air conditioning for a long time or are exposed to the sun. Toner containing hyaluronic acid and ceramide can penetrate deep into the skin to lock in cell moisture and moisturize the stratum corneum. The texture of moisturizing lotions is generally light and thin, so they are very suitable for use as lotion masks to promote skin absorption. After fully soaking the cotton pad with lotion, tear it into 4 pieces vertically and apply them to the forehead, cheeks and chin for facial mask care. 3 to 5 minutes will be enough.

4. Whitening lotion: choose a mild type

Whitening lotion adds whitening ingredients to general lotion, such as vitamin C, vitamin E, plant whitening essence, etc. It is very suitable for girls who need whitening when combined with other whitening products. However, most whitening products are not stable enough, are easily damaged, and can easily cause allergies. Therefore, when choosing a whitening lotion, you should pay more attention to whether the product is gentle and suitable for sensitive skin. Rub your palms together to increase their temperature, cover your face with your palms, and use the temperature to increase the absorption of the product.

5. Cleansing lotion: wipe with cotton pad for secondary cleansing

Using facial cleansers can often only remove dirt on the surface of the skin but cannot provide deep cleansing. After using facial cleansing products, some residue will remain on the skin. Using a cotton pad to wipe it for secondary cleansing can make the skin cleaner. Cleansing lotions usually contain ingredients that remove aged cuticles. When used, they can remove the thickened cuticles on the skin's surface while replenishing moisture to the stratum corneum.

6. Light-textured lotion: Use a cotton pad to wipe it off.

Most toners need to be wiped with cotton pads to allow moisture to enter the skin. Pour about 3 ml of toner onto the cotton pad, fully soaking the cotton pad without dripping. At this time, cover the entire surface of the skin with the cotton pad, but do not pat it. Instead, press gently with your fingers to allow the lotion to fully adhere to the skin. Finally, gently wipe the entire face to allow the lotion to penetrate into the skin.
