A refreshing facial toner for acne is simply an indispensable tool in the care of problem skin. Such funds can regulate the production of sebum, cleanse and narrow the pores, make the rashes not so noticeable, and also prevent the appearance of new inflammations on the face.
Varieties of facial toners
Depending on their purpose and composition, these funds are divided into acid and neutral.
Neutral tonics or slightly acidic ones with a pH of about 6 restore skin balance, neutralize the effects of hard tap water, tighten and cleanse pores, create a feeling of cleanliness and freshness, effectively moisturize the skin. Such cosmetics are recommended to be used on a regular basis after using the gel or cleansing milk. They are selected depending on the type of skin, as well as the desired effect.
Acid refreshing facial toners contain a small amount of fruit acids, so their pH is below 5. Such funds are used twice a week. Moreover, it is worth paying attention to the fact that on sensitive skin they can provoke a feeling of slight tingling.
