It is human nature to love makeup, but in order to better protect and care for the skin, a suitable, cost-effective makeup water is essential. Many people may face confusion when choosing makeup water, not knowing how to choose one, and may not be clear about the purpose of makeup water. This article will explain the uses of makeup water and introduce four simple, easy-to-use, and cost-effective makeup waters.
Many people often wonder if they really need to use toner. In fact, the function of toner is to moisturize the skin before skincare, keeping the stratum corneum hydrated, making it easier for the body to absorb skincare products during subsequent care, and enhancing the effectiveness of skincare. Additionally, using toner can also help to cleanse the skin for a second time, clean the pores, and remove aging keratin.
There are two common ways to use toner. The first method is to use it with a cotton pad, pour the toner onto the cotton pad and gently pat it on the skin, releasing the toner onto the skin to ensure that every inch of the skin is properly covered with toner. The second method is to directly pat the toner on the skin with your hands, some emulsions or semi-gel-like toners can be poured into the palm of your hand and gently pressed and patted all over the face.
