The difference between toner and softener

Female friends must use lotion in their daily lives. I believe everyone knows about toner and softener, but how much do you know about the difference between toner and softener? Many women don’t know whether they should use toner or softener. This requires everyone to know more about the difference between these two kinds of lotions so that they know which one is good for their skin and can make themselves more beautiful.

Everyone should know that toner and softener are both types of lotion. They have certain effects on skin care and can balance the acidity and alkalinity of the skin very well. Different skin types require different choices. Let's take a look at the difference between toner and softener.

First, toner is also called firming water and lotion. Its function is to maintain the acid-base balance of the skin, remove the stratum corneum, and make the skin have better absorption function and can absorb the nutrients of cosmetics. It is usually used after washing the face to better absorb moisture. Toner has a good moisturizing effect, can shrink large pores, and balance oil secretion, preparing for subsequent skin care. We can apply toner first after cleansing, and then use other cosmetics, so that the absorption effect will be better.

Second, as the name suggests, toner is relatively gentle and moisturizing, and can delicately care for the skin. There is not much difference between the two. It is best to use toner in summer and softener in winter. The moisturizing effect of softener is very good. Toner is suitable for dry skin, and toner is suitable for oily and combination skin. Applying toner will give you a very cool feeling. For combination skin, you can use both toner and softener, depending on the actual condition of your skin.

Third, how to use toner. There are generally two ways to use toner, the wiping method and the patting method. We can pour the toner on a cotton pad, and then use the cotton pad to wipe along the texture of the skin from the inside to the outside to avoid the formation of wrinkles. We should wipe the oily areas of the forehead and nose for a while longer.

Fourth, the patting method. We can first pour the toner on our hands, and then gently pat our face with our hands. This has a good effect on skin absorption, and can also massage the skin by patting, which can promote blood circulation and prevent the appearance of skin wrinkles.

Fifth, using toner for ice therapy can shrink pores, control oil, and prevent the appearance of blackheads. If your skin is very sensitive, you can choose repair water. If you want to whiten your skin, you should choose whitening lotion. The type of water you choose depends on your purpose.

Everyone should know the difference between toner and softener. They are suitable for women with different skin types. You should know more about the usage of these two types of lotions. Only by knowing what kind of skin type you have can you know which lotion to choose so that your skin can reach the best condition.
