Can I use my hands to pat on toner? Should I use one without alcohol?

Toner is a skin care product that many people know about. It is so lovable. So can you apply toner by patting it on with your hands? Should I use alcohol-free toner?

Can I use my hands to pat on toner?

Wash your hands and gently pat on toner to make the cold toner temperature closer to the skin, making it easier for the skin to absorb and the toner more effective. Using cotton pads can remove cleansing products remaining on the skin and some dust and dirt that have not been thoroughly washed off during cleansing. It can also prevent dirt from getting on the face due to unclean hands, so using cotton pads is more hygienic.

Should I use alcohol-free toner?

We often hear that you should not buy toner containing alcohol, otherwise the moisture on your face will be lost as the alcohol evaporates. This is true for normal skin and dry skin, but if you have oily skin or acne-prone skin, use a toner containing alcohol and apply it to the acne-affected area or the T-zone where oil secretion is particularly high. This will help disinfect and kill bacteria, absorb excess oil, speed up the healing of acne and prevent acne from getting worse.

It is better to use toner or cotton pads. Do not apply makeup directly with your hands. Whether to use toner containing alcohol depends on the specific situation.
