Do I need to wash my face after applying toner? What are the benefits?

Different toners have different effects. Some can be applied directly as facial masks. So do you need to wash your face after applying toner? What are the benefits of applying toner on your face?

Do I need to wash my face after applying toner?

There is no need to wash your face. Toner is a skin care product and it does not contain essence, so it will not burden the skin. Wouldn’t it be in vain if I washed it off?

Should I wash off the mask?

1. Peel-off mask: You must wash your face, and then apply toner, lotion and other skin care products after washing your face;

2. Washable masks: You also need to wash them; if it is a non-woven mask, you don’t need to wash it, because the mask is full of essence;

3. Sleeping mask, also known as wash-free mask, does not need to be washed; before going to bed at night, apply it after cleaning the skin and sleep until morning;

4. Functional facial mask: If it is a hydrating and whitening mask, then you don’t need to wash it off; if it is a cleansing mask, then you must wash it off.

What are the benefits of applying toner on the face

1. Applying toner on your face is the gentlest way to remove dead skin.

Toner is suitable for all skin types, but is especially beneficial for acne-prone and oily skin because it can remove dirt and sebum from pores, shrink pores, and reduce blackheads and acne.

Of course, it is best to avoid toners containing irritating ingredients (menthol, mint, citrus oil, etc.) or toners with high concentrations of alcohol or fragrance to prevent allergic reactions. If you have sensitive skin, it is best to choose a toner that contains antioxidants and niacinamide.

2. Applying toner on your face helps regulate the acid-base balance of your skin

When we wash our faces with facial cleansers, the cleansing ingredients in the cleansers, the hot water we use, and the rough towels can damage the skin's delicate barrier. By applying toner to the face afterwards, the skin can be calmed and the appearance of pores can be reduced. A toner that balances the acid-base balance of your skin means it removes sebum without irritating your skin. Toners containing cucumber or vitamin B5 can help you fight skin inflammation and relieve redness while providing intensive hydration to keep your skin soft and supple.

3. Applying toner on the face can improve uneven skin tone

Toner containing vitamin C and AHA ingredients has a good whitening effect: if used as a facial mask, it can help improve uneven skin tone, dullness and lack of luster. Toner containing vitamin C and AHA ingredients can penetrate into the bottom layer of the skin more quickly, prevent the formation of melanin, and improve dull skin.

Okay, my friends, remember that you don’t need to wash your face.
