How does Korean toner work and how to use it correctly?

Tell us honestly, sister, do you use toner solely out of habit or do you know the real benefits of this product?

Our girls will remind you of the main secrets that Korean facial toner has and will tell you how to get the maximum effect from your product 😍

Why does the skin need toner: benefits for every day

Toner is an important stage in daily beauty rituals and it has many pluses in use ➕

Features:

• restores the correct pH level of the epithelium;
• has gentle natural extracts to stabilize the balance of the skin barrier and restore moisturizing properties lost during cleansing;
• does not contain alcohols that can cause excessive drying and loss of moisture of the dermis;
• at their core, Korean toners are a targeted step in care: different formulas help solve different problems - moisturizing, soothing, gently renewing the skin or smoothing it 🥰

By type, toners are:

• Liquid toners - moisturizing and soothing agents to restore pH balance, as well as formulas with acids (AHA, BHA, PHA) for delicate skin renewal, even tone and fight rashes.
• Toner pads are convenient impregnated discs that are ideal for quick application of toner or deeper moisturizing, and in versions with acids - they also delicately renew the skin.
• Toner sprays - refresh and moisturize throughout the day or immediately after washing.

Korean toners usually contain plant extracts and moisturizers, and often do not contain aggressive alcohols, thanks to which they act gently and delicately. Their texture — from liquid to milky or gel — perfectly restores the skin's balance after cleansing 💧

How to choose a toner?

The best facial toners are the right product, sis. And for this, you should be guided by the following characteristics:

• skin type;
• the main component in the product;
• consistency and package form.

If you have a dry skin type, we recommend paying attention to products that contain hyaluronic acid. This ingredient helps solve the problem of dryness, and also perfectly retains moisture inside the cells, thanks to which your face will have a luxurious, elastic appearance 💦

For oily skin, products with AHA/BHA acids are an ideal option. Pay attention to the Aha-Bha-Pha 30 Days Miracle Toner from the Some By Mi brand. It perfectly accelerates cell regeneration, regulates the work of the sebaceous glands and the effect of its use will be noticeable instantly 🤗

Also pay attention to these toners that are great for oily skin:

Normal skin also requires regular care and you will need products to emphasize the radiance and luxurious appearance of the dermis ⭐️ Toners for normal skin will provide maximum hydration, accelerate metabolic processes inside the cells, strengthen the protective barrier and make your appearance flawless 👏

A selection of toners that effectively care for normal skin type:

For a sensitive face, a very cool product will be one that contains centella asiatica extract, green tea extract, aloe, yuzu fruit - these components have a powerful soothing effect and also strengthen the skin barrier 🛡

Toners that are ideal for owners of this skin type:

Peptide 9 Aqua Essence Toner is great for aging skin — it has a lifting effect and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. Also, products with collagen significantly increase the elasticity of the skin, and the peptides in the composition contribute to its renewal. Retinol is no less effective, which works with age-related changes at a deeper level.

How to properly apply toner to the skin?

Using a toner is not difficult, but there are a few nuances that are worth remembering, sis.

First of all, remember that the ideal time to use it is immediately after cleansing, when the skin is clean and ready to absorb the beneficial substances of the active ingredients.

Here are the main steps:

1. Prepare your face: after washing your face, before using the toner, gently pat the skin with a soft towel, leaving it slightly damp. This will allow the toner to absorb better 👌
2. Apply with your palms: take a small amount on your hand and carefully apply the product to your face. This method is more delicate and the temperature of your palms improves the penetration of nutrients 🕊
3. Cotton pad method: if you prefer to use a cotton pad, then in no case rub your skin with pressure! 🙅
4. Layering: for additional hydration, you can use the “7 Skin” method, applying up to seven thin layers of toner. Each layer should dry well before applying the next. This is the ideal method to apply toner for dry skin 💦
5. By mask type: to do this, take a small amount of the product on a cotton pad or choose toner pads according to your skin type and place them on the areas of your face where you feel the need. Leave the pads to act for a few minutes, remove from your face and wait for the product to be completely absorbed 👏

When the toner is completely absorbed, your skin is ready for the next steps of care - serums, creams or other products. Its delicate, nourishing formula helps restore skin balance and increase the effectiveness of subsequent products. Toner is not just an additional step, but an important part of comprehensive care. The main thing, sis, is to correctly incorporate it into your daily routine to unleash the full potential of the product and give your skin comfort, hydration and radiance ✨
