Every girl today knows how to properly care for her facial skin, because only the most “lazy” companies did not write about it.
But despite the amount of useful information, people who take care of their skin in three stages - cleansing, toning and moisturizing - are rather an exception to the rule, for the most part people neglect any means other than facial wash and the cream itself. In particular, the tonic is ignored.
And it is not surprising, because, firstly, there is still no complete information anywhere about why these steps are necessary at a deep level, and secondly, most tonics, including expensive and well-known ones, which are presented on the shelves of cosmetology means, mainly consist of 95-98% of water. And there is no point in spending money on water, which is available in excess in every house.
Let's find out if a tonic is really a necessary thing in skin care, and how to choose a quality toning agent, and not sticky water for 1500 rubles?
There are no ugly girls, there are ugly ones. Taking care of yourself and taking care of your appearance is the sacred duty of every woman. It does not take much time to complete it - only 20 minutes a day, but the effect of such self-care will be expressed in long-term compliments and love from others.
To maintain natural beauty, you need to pay attention to three details - refresh the skin, tidy up the eyebrows and moisturize the lips. A fresh look, an expressive look and gloss on the lips will emphasize the most sophisticated aspects of any girl's appearance.
It is to fulfill the first criterion that a good quality tonic is needed, it gently cleanses the skin and refreshes the appearance. Moreover, it narrows enlarged pores, evens out complexion, copes with rashes, peeling and excess production of sebum - sebum secreted by the sebaceous glands.
But all this, probably, you knew without us. And now let's talk about why you can not apply the cream and skip the moisturizing stage, but you can’t refuse toning?
Our skin has a pH - this is an indicator of the ratio of alkali and acid, referred to in the circle of experts as "acid-base balance". The word "balance" is associated with harmony and tranquility, which we strive for in all areas of life, including self-care. The pH varies from 0 to 14, where 0 is an acid and 14 is an alkali.
The acid-base balance of healthy skin is slightly shifted to the acid side, and it is necessary to maintain this correct acidity, because, firstly, it protects against pathogenic microorganisms, and secondly, from external chemical influences.
The pH range of healthy skin ranges from 4.5 to 7. Once it shifts to an alkaline environment, such as soap (pH 9-11), tap water (pH 8), a chlorinated pool, UV light, improperly selected skin care products, and for other reasons, it is critical for us to acidify the skin. Why? Because pathogenic microorganisms do not survive in an acidic environment, only good bacteria live and multiply here.
What happens to our skin's pH after washing?
If the skin is healthy and normal, and the care is chosen correctly, the skin will naturally restore a healthy physiological pH in 15-20 minutes, if the hydrolipidic mantle of the skin is broken and the care products are alkaline, the skin will restore a healthy pH up to 5-6 hours. Considering that we wash ourselves 2 or even 3 times a day, 5-6 hours is a catastrophic amount. All day long, our skin is restored, instead of resting, and therefore there can be no talk of any fresh and well-groomed look without a tonic.
It is to solve this problem that we need a tonic, it will help acidify the skin and return it to its natural pH range. Different toners, depending on the manufacturer and brand, may have additional functions, but the main task of the tonic is to return the skin to a more acidic environment.
We understand what a tonic is for and why it is so important in skin care, now let's figure out how to choose a quality product, and not water for 1500 rubles?
To choose a good tonic, you need to read not the beautiful words of the manufacturers, but pay attention to the pH of the tonic. As a rule, manufacturers indicate what a tonic is for, describe its benefits and main actions. However, pH is not indicated on most packages, and therefore we cannot always understand whether the tonic performs its main function or not.
To choose a quality tonic, you need to choose a tonic not by a beautiful label, but by pH, the ideal pH for a tonic varies in the range of 3.5 - 6.5.
We, in turn, offer tonics with pH - 4; 5.8; 6.2 - which will help you normalize the acid-base balance of the skin. In the RESEDAODOR range you can find 6 tonic products for different purposes that will help you return your skin to a healthy physiological pH range after washing every day.
