What is the role of moisturizing water

1. After washing your face, there will be residual oil and waste cutin in the skin pores. Toner can provide a good secondary deep cleansing. Many toners contain some alcohol, which can melt hardened oil and make the skin clean more thoroughly. Alcohol can also dissolve some skin care products that are not easily absorbed by the skin, making them easier for the skin to absorb. As long as the alcohol content does not exceed the standard, it is safe. Don't be afraid of toner containing alcohol.

2. The main function of toner is hydration and secondary cleansing, of course, it also has some other functions. After washing your face, your skin will feel tight and dry. At this time, apply toner in time. The water will quickly penetrate into the sebum membrane, making the skin look smooth, translucent and elastic.

The correct way to use moisturizing water

1. Pour out the moisturizing water, soak the compressed paper mask in it, and apply it after it is fully soaked.

2. Soak the cotton pad with lotion and then wipe your face to achieve secondary cleansing and moisturizing effects. Just choose according to your needs.

Moisturizing water use order

1. Cleansing products

Before skin care, cleansing is always the first step. Don’t underestimate cleansing, it is very important.

2. Make-up water

The function of toner is to cleanse again to restore the pH value of the skin surface and to condition the stratum corneum so that the skin can absorb better and prepare for the use of skin care products. Yi Yi recommends using astringent for oily skin, toner for healthy skin, softener for dry skin, astringent for the T-zone of combination skin, and sensitive water or repair water for sensitive skin.

3. Essence

The function of the base fluid is to increase the absorption of subsequent products. It should be used after toner and before essence/cream. The nutrients in the essence can activate cells, repair cells, increase cell vitality and defense capabilities, and play a repair and introduction function; most of them contain both hydrophilic and lipophilic ingredients, which can break down the moisture and oil in skin care products at the same time, making them better absorbed by the skin; they are also formulated with ingredients that soften and moisturize cuticles, making it easier for the stratum corneum to absorb subsequent care ingredients.

Use toner first, then moisturizer.

How long is the moisturizing water effective?

Depending on the label on the product packaging, the shelf life of different toners is different. Generally speaking, the shelf life of toner is three years, but some toners have a shelf life of one year. To determine how long the shelf life of the toner is, you should look at the label on the bottle.

It should be noted that the shelf life of toner refers to the unopened period. If it has been opened, it is best to use it up within three or four months. Otherwise, it will not only affect the use effect, but may also cause certain damage to the skin. Expired toner will produce some chemicals. Continued use will cause skin redness, itching, acne and even lead to serious phenomena such as skin allergies.
