Is toner containing alcohol good?

Are toners containing alcohol good? This is a very difficult question for many women when choosing toner, especially for women with acne-prone skin. Because they are afraid of the acne on their face getting inflamed, they usually use toner containing alcohol to have an anti-inflammatory effect. But if it is used for a long time, will it harm the skin? Are alcohol-containing toners good or bad?

Many ingredients in lotions can only be dissolved in alcohol but not in water, so almost all lotions contain alcohol. It’s just that the alcohol content of some lotions is relatively low. As long as it is below a certain standard, it can be ignored. Therefore, many toners that are said to be alcohol-free do not really contain no alcohol at all.

In fact, alcohol is very good for beauty. You don’t need to care so much about it. A certain amount of alcohol can not only reduce inflammation and kill bacteria, but also control oil and shrink pores. Only excessive alcohol will make your skin drier and oilier with use, and if too much alcohol is added, you will smell the alcohol clearly.

It has been verified by experts that although alcohol-free lotions are indeed gentler, it does not necessarily mean that alcohol-containing lotions are bad. Alcohol-containing lotion can remove excess oil and dirt from the pores to a certain extent, and tighten the pores to control oil secretion, which is more suitable for oily skin.

However, since alcohol is extremely volatile and can take away moisture from the skin and destroy the water film, we just do not recommend long-term use. Oily skin can use it 1-2 times a week depending on the season. For sensitive skin and dry skin, it is recommended to use a plant-based lotion that has the same effect as alcohol. It should be noted that lotions containing alcohol cannot replace cleaning products.

This article ends here to introduce whether toner containing alcohol is good or not. In short, if there is no special need, it is recommended that you choose alcohol-free toner. After all, our face is not a testing field. Only by choosing a toner suitable for our skin can our skin condition be gradually improved and slowly become smooth and flawless.
