How to Apply Face Toner Properly
To spritz or not to spritz, that is the question.
There are a number of ways to apply facial toner after cleansing; however, the best
method to give your skin a super clean feeling is by using a cotton
ball, pad or cloth to distribute product. I used to be a spritzer girl
in the past, mind you, but I learned the following skincare secret and
never looked back...
While
misting the skin may be fun, cooling and convenient for a hydration
spray [which is a completely different product all together] toning is
an important step in your skincare regimen, and products designed for
its job deserve a fair chance to work.
It's
important to know that toners are designed to wipe away residue
leftover after washing your face. Things like chemicals, salts and
chlorines from tap water can still reside on your skin and dehydrate it.
By only spritzing your toner, and not wiping it off, you will not
remove all of the residue.
That's
why it's crucial to apply toner with a cotton ball, pad, or cloth.
Always use a product formulated for your skin type. Follow up with an
eye cream, antioxidant serum, moisturizer with sun protection and a
hydration spray whenever your skin could use some light refreshment
throughout the day.
