The skin of the face, like the whole body, requires cleansing and nutrition. The skin is the first to feel the negative impact of the environment, nervous shocks, stress and physical fatigue. All this instantly affects the condition of the skin: it becomes dull, acquires an unhealthy shade, wrinkles become more noticeable. Cosmetics can help restore the natural beauty and elasticity of the skin. Comprehensive facial care consists of cleansing, toning and nutrition. Special cosmetics are used for cleansing – micellar water, milk, foams for washing. Tonics are used to tone the skin, and creams for nutrition.

Cleansing the skin with a tonic is a necessary component of daily facial skin care, which should never be neglected. If you want skin care to be as effective as possible, do not give up using a tonic. The tonic will refresh your skin, improve its relief and color. Toning is especially useful for oily or problematic skin.

Facial toner is a cosmetic product that removes cleanser residue, restores pH balance, removes excess sebum, and even helps reduce and prevent inflammation on the skin. Tonics usually contain alcohol. It is often the base. If the tonic is intended for oily skin, the amount of alcohol can reach 50%. Nutrients are often added to tonics – essential oils, medicinal herbs, acids. For example, a tonic with salicylic acid has an antibacterial effect, dries skin rashes, and relieves inflammation. Aloe is most often added to tonics from medicinal herbs, which restores the water-fat balance of the skin.

Do not confuse tonics with lotions. Lotion is an alcohol-containing product that has an anti-inflammatory and disinfectant effect. Its action is aimed exclusively at cleansing and combating problem skin.

Toners have a different role. Their action is aimed at toning and moisturizing, nourishing and vitaminizing the skin, narrowing pores, as well as preparing the skin for applying cream.

Facial toners have a number of undeniable advantages that should not be forgotten. The toner helps increase blood circulation and restore pH balance, which improves complexion. Due to the fact that the toner frees the skin from excess sebum and other impurities, makeup goes on smoother and lasts longer. The active ingredients contained in toners, due to their alcohol content, destroy bacteria that provoke rashes on the face.

The toner not only refreshes and cleanses the skin of the face, but also doubles the effect of using day and night cream, which must be applied immediately after using the toner. It is especially important to follow these rules when caring for mature skin.

With regular use of the tonic, blood circulation improves, sebum secretion decreases, the skin aging process and the formation of wrinkles slows down. As a result of proper, step-by-step care, your skin will be healthy, beautiful and young.

When choosing a facial tonic, as well as any other care product, you should be guided by the principle of naturalness, environmental friendliness and safety. Pay attention to cosmetics that contain natural, active ingredients. Avoid products that contain parabens, sulfates and silicones, because it has been scientifically proven that these ingredients are toxic and have a negative effect on the body.

By following these simple rules for facial skin care, not forgetting about daily cleansing and nutrition, you will keep your skin healthy and beautiful for a long time.
