Astringent water is a kind of lotion that shrinks pores. You may not have heard of it before. Let’s take a look at when to use this astringent water? What is the order and method of using astringent water?

When to use astringent water

It is best to use astringent on areas with large pores because astringent contains a certain amount of alcohol. You can wet a cotton pad with astringent, then stick it on the area with large pores for 5 minutes, then remove it and apply your usual skin care products. If you persist for a long time, the areas with large pores will improve.

Astringent water should be used immediately after washing your face. The first step after washing your face is to apply astringent water. Generally speaking, it can be used in the morning and evening.

The order of using astringent water

First of all, you must understand that astringent water is not simply cleansing water and should not be used too early. It is generally used after cleansing the skin and before applying makeup, that is, in the order of cleanser - toner - lotion - cream - astringent - isolation - foundation. Next, the big move is coming, high-energy warning ahead, please be prepared.

1. Use astringent before applying foundation and pat it on directly. If you think it is too rough, there is also a gentle and fresh method which is to apply it on mask paper to make a mask. It can quickly lock in moisture and prevent makeup from coming off.

2. After removing makeup and cleansing your face at night and completing your skin care routine, use a cotton pad to press astringent water into your pores. This can quickly lock in nutrients in the pores and ensure that your face is still hydrated and tender when you wake up the next day. But you must remember to do it after completing all the skin care steps! Otherwise, all the nutrients will be locked outside and the skin cannot absorb them!

How to use astringent water

Many girls pour astringent water directly on their hands and then pat it on their faces, thinking that this direct contact with the skin can accelerate absorption. In fact, this has a major disadvantage: it cannot take into account the entire facial skin, and the amount used must be a lot, because the hands absorb faster than the face. Therefore, the correct way to use it should be: after cleansing, dip a cotton pad in astringent water, apply it on your face for a while, then hold the cotton pad with your index finger, and gently wipe the facial skin from top to bottom. After wiping half of the face, change the cotton pad and wipe the other half of the face, then pat gently to speed up absorption. If there is enough astringent moisture on the cotton pad, you can also apply it on your neck. This not only saves astringent water, but also achieves a better cleansing effect.

This is all about how to use astringent water and when to use it. Come and try these methods and pay attention to the order of use.
