Why use toners in your home skincare routine?

EVERY COSMETOLOGIST RECOMMENDS USING A TONING LOTION IN YOUR HOME SKINCARE ROUTINE.

Why??? What is a toning lotion?

It's no secret that daily facial skincare consists of several steps. A toning lotion, or simply a toner, is the step between cleansing and moisturising.

Why is it needed? The original purpose of this type of product was to restore the skin's pH balance after using a cleanser and make-up remover, which alter this acid-alkaline balance, triggering inflammation and irritation.

The skin is covered by an acid mantle made up of sweat and sebum. During cleansing, these are removed from the surface of the epidermis, which changes the pH balance — a balance that can and should regenerate on its own within a few hours. With a toning lotion, however, this happens faster.

So what does a lotion do?

Lotions aren't released on their own, but as part of cosmetic lines. That's why they share the same properties as their relatives (creams, serums, masks). This can be moisturising, as well as fighting acne, wrinkles or discolouration.

If a cream is the main course, then a lotion can certainly be considered the appetiser. It's important to match it to your skin's type, condition and needs. Choose your toner and the rest of your skincare from a single range, and an extra dose of active ingredients is guaranteed — the desired effect will come sooner.

And on top of that, every lotion instantly:

  •  Removes traces of cleansers and impurities;
  •  Rebuilds the hydrolipidic layer;
  •  Normalises pH balance;
  •  Tones;
  •  Soothes;
  •  Rescues you from that tight feeling;
  •  Neutralises the harmful effects of chlorinated tap water.

Toning lotions are applied morning and evening after cleansing. You can apply a small amount to a cotton pad or simply to your hands and spread it along the massage lines of the facial skin.
