TONER Vs ASTRINGENT: DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCES?
TONER: WHAT IS IN IT?
Toners are water based and include anti-oxidants and cell repairing ingredients which both draw water into the skin and help soothe and buffer its PH levels.
WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
Toner primes the skin for moisturizers and serums. It allows for these solutions to penetrate deeper into your skin, helping hydrate skin and remove any excess dirt or grime remaining after using your
facial cleanser.
WHAT'S YOUR SKIN TYPE?
Dry skin needs to be hydrated, and a great way to do this is with a toner!
Toners can help reduce dry and flaking skin, as well as leave it smooth and soothed with its hydrating properties.
Similar to dry skin, sensitive skin also pairs well with a toner. Sensitive skin requires a softer touch, and the alcohol content in astringents may be harsh on this skin type. Toners may help balance
the pH levels in sensitive skin while removing oils to give your skin a healthy glow.
The alcohol in an astringent gives it anti-bacterial properties, which can help in individuals dealing with acne breakouts.
WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
Astringents are designed to remove excess oils from the skin. Astringents are also helpful to deep clean your pores and ideal for addressing acne prone skin because of the antibacterial properties.
WHAT'S YOUR SKIN TYPE?
If you have oily skin, astringents are the products for you! The main purpose of an astringent is to remove excess oil from the skin. The alcohol-based ingredients may help to reduce or eliminate acne by destroying the bacteria that cause it.
Astringents reduce the acid mantle in your skin, as well as help your skins pH.
