When is lotion used and what is the difference between it and toner?

Lotion and toner are mostly artificially similar, but there are still big differences between them. So when is lotion used? What is the difference between lotion and toner?

When is lotion used?

Toner must be used every day, and when using it, it is generally not poured directly onto the palm of the hand and applied. Because the skin on the palms has a layer called the "transparent layer", which absorbs water quickly when it comes into contact with it. When you pour lotion into your palms and use it on your face, half of the amount will have been absorbed by your hands, which is very wasteful. Therefore, cotton pads are generally used. Pour out enough that can penetrate to the other side and gently wipe it on the face. When using astringent water, lightly pat the face to achieve the effect of astringing the skin. If you feel the cotton pad gradually becomes dry after patting, it means the moisture has been absorbed by the skin. Touch your face and it will feel moisturized and cool. This is when you can best experience the comfort after using toner.

What is the difference between lotion and toner?

The waters that girls use for skin care include lotion, toner, and softener. The basic effects of these waters are actually similar, but there are still differences in their details. For different skin types, today the editor will introduce to you the difference between lotion and toner.

In fact, lotion is a general term for toner, astringent, conditioning water, softener, and cleansing water. They all have the effect of stabilizing and moisturizing the skin. Their respective focuses are different:

Toner: It feels refreshing when applied and can replenish moisture to the skin.

Firming lotion (astringent): Its greatest benefit is to refine pores and effectively balance oil secretion. It is specially designed for oily skin that needs to shrink pores, or for the T-zone of combination skin. It is not suitable for other skin types because it usually contains alcohol.

Conditioning water: Its function is to adjust the pH value of the skin. The skin is weakly acidic under normal conditions. After washing your face, use conditioning toner to restore the skin to weak acidity.

Toner: Compared with the other two types of "water", it is more moisturizing, giving the skin delicate care, can soften the stratum corneum, and increase the skin's ability to absorb moisturizing skin care products.

Clarifying water: In addition to washing your face to cleanse your skin, some toners can also cleanse the remaining dirt on your face again, which is equivalent to a guarantee of clean skin.

When purchasing, you can make the following distinctions: use astringent for oily skin, use toner for healthy skin, and use softener for dry skin. For combination skin, use astringent on the T-zone and softener or toner on other areas. For sensitive skin, you can choose sensitive water or repair water, and if you want to whiten your skin, you can choose whitening lotion.

Okay, that’s all the introduction about lotion. I hope you know when to use it.
