What is the difference between water gel and toner? What is water gel?

I believe everyone is familiar with toner. We use toner for secondary cleansing after washing our face. Toner can also play a role in moisturizing. So, what is hydrogel? What is the difference between water gel and toner? Let’s take a look together.

What is the difference between water gel and toner

The textures of water gel and toner are different. The texture of hydrogel is thicker than toner, and it has a liquid gel texture, which is suitable for dry skin. Toner is easier to evaporate than hydrogel and replenishes moisture to the skin.

What is Hydrogel?

Condensation can be simply understood literally as: condensed dewdrops. Gel = essence + lotion. Humidity is divided into absolute humidity and relative humidity. Absolute humidity refers to the mass of water vapor per cubic meter of air. Relative humidity refers to the phenomenon that when water vapor reaches saturation in the air, it condenses on objects with relatively low temperature. Condensation is a special phenomenon when the humidity reaches a certain level.

Among skin care products, gel actually belongs to a type of gel, but now more and more gel products are classified as lotions. Because the texture of the gel is thicker than ordinary lotion, but lighter than essence, the liquid gel texture is refreshing and easy to absorb, and does not cause any burden to the skin. Currently, skin care brands’ development of gel not only stays in the initial hydration stage, but also rises to the level of locking moisture. After washing your face and absorbing all the moisture with a towel, using gel can condition the skin and supply moisture to the stratum corneum, which is a preparatory stage for absorbing nutrients. It supplies moisture to the skin and has the function of regulating the water and oil balance of the skin. It is pure, moist and easily absorbed, and is a must-have skin care product for all seasons.

How to use water gel

Use gel first and then lotion. This can reduce the chance of your skin being drained of moisture. Because the molecules of gel are smaller than those of emulsion, using it before the emulsion can allow the large molecules of the emulsion to cover the small molecules of the gel. To prevent moisture from being taken away from the face, if you need to put on makeup, it is better to use gel because gel has a strong makeup-setting effect.
