Common Questions About Toner Usage, do you know about that?

Addressing Common Questions about Toner: 1. Does tapping or patting the skin enhance absorption? 2. Is it necessary to use cotton pads with toner? 3. Is a toner with more bubbles after shaking considered better
1. Does tapping or patting the skin enhance absorption? Firstly, vigorously "patting" the skin is definitely not the correct approach. When you pat your face, you may think that it is being absorbed, but in reality, it is evaporating. Forceful patting (as well as applying strong pressure during massage) is a form of physical stimulation to the skin. However, gentle tapping is acceptable, although it doesn't significantly enhance absorption. It mainly improves facial circulation. If you want to enhance absorption, you can apply the toner evenly on your face first and then use the warmth of your palms to gently press it into the skin. 2. Is it necessary to use cotton pads with toner? Cotton pads are not a necessary accompaniment to toner; whether you use your hands or cotton pads doesn't make a big difference. Toner primarily serves the purpose of initial hydration and conditioning, which can be achieved by using your hands. For individuals with thickened keratin and rough skin, using cotton pads with toner can help remove some of the keratin. As for double cleansing, as long as you cleanse your face/makeup properly, there is generally no need for a second cleanse, as excessive cleansing can actually damage the skin barrier. Therefore, in most cases, using toner does not require the use of cotton pads, especially for dry skin or sensitive dry skin. 3. Is a toner with more bubbles after shaking considered better? The appearance of more bubbles after shaking is due to the presence of surfactants in the toner. Surfactants are solvents that allow water-soluble and oil-soluble components to blend together. Therefore, judging the quality of a toner based on the amount of bubbles after shaking is not accurate. It is better to consider the ingredients, specific effects, and skin feel of the toner. Additionally, a thicker texture does not necessarily indicate a better product. The thick texture is the result of thickening agents and is not directly related to the quality of the skincare product. #beauty #skincare #toner #skincareroutine#viicode#eyemask#eyecream#spa#antiaging#

Thorough cleansing is the foundation of skincare. How to deeply cleanse the skin?

Many of us these days are really focused on keeping our facial skin looking its best. But with long hours at work and late nights, our skin can end up feeling dry, rough, and seriously lacking in moisture. That's when a good cleanse is crucial. Let's dive into some methods for deep facial cleansing together. So, why is deep cleansing so important? Well, your skin breathes through the tiny gaps between its cells, especially in the outermost layer called the stratum corneum. It also absorbs moisture and nutrients through this layer, as well as through the pores and sebaceous glands. In hot weather, sweat and oil production ramp up, and combined with airborne dust, it's easy for pores to get clogged with grime. If we don't thoroughly clean our skin, those old dead skin cells stick around, making the skin's surface thicker. This not only makes it hard for your skin to breathe properly, but it also blocks the absorption of skincare products, directly affecting your s

Spring/Summer Skincare Essentials: "Clean" and "Light"

Summer has finally arrived, bringing with it a flurry of sunshine to bask in, but also putting our skin to the test. From UV exposure to dehydration, oiliness, inflammation, redness, clogged pores, and sagging, the list of skin woes seems endless. Finding the right balance is key: too much skincare can overwhelm the skin, while neglecting it can lead to summer sensitivities. For a summer skincare routine, remember just two words: "clean" and "light". Clean Routine: Start with a thorough daily cleanse. Summer means our skin's oil glands are working overtime, making it crucial to rid the skin of impurities and dust that can clog pores. Opt for waterless skincare to minimize the impact of water pollutants. Deep Cleanse: In addition to daily cleansing, incorporate a weekly deep cleanse. Oily or combination skin types can benefit from a weekly session, while dry or sensitive types may do better with bi-weekly treatments. Swap harsh physical exfoliants for gentle
