Why tonic for the face should be used Required: 5 facts that you did not know

Why do we need the tonic for the face? If you ask a question, many are likely to respond, "Well... to wash away the remnants of makeup, moisturize the face, skin, refresh... "And be right, but not quite. In tonic task is much more important and significant.

Frankly, before training in cosmetology school, I rarely used the tonic, considering it as many (now I know about it from the practice) completely superfluous means. For example, the wash off makeup micellar water, it cleans, softens the skin, refreshing tonic why else? The extra spending. Turns out...

Let's answer a simple question: "Tools for make-up remover designed for what?" That's right - to cleanse the skin. And micellar water - including. Its active substances - mycelium - softly and gently dissolve and remove make-up, dirt, etc... T. e. great job with its main task - to cleanse. And yet. In this role of make-up remover skin care ends. This is logical, right? And what about the tonic?

Why do you need a tonic for the face

Many mistaken tonic for skin cleansing agent. But it is not so! The main objective of tonic - restore the normal pH of the skin! Of course, all heard and know that the pH - it's acid-alkaline balance of the skin, a kind of its protective mantle. And to maintain a normal pH level is very important, because changing the acidity is directly related to the beauty and skin health. Why? Because when you change the acidity, became more or less - and changed the skin, a simple language - there are problems. What kind? More on that below.

Beauty and skin pH levels

We lucky ones with normal skin pH varies from 4 to 5.5. If the number is below - dry skin (2-3) above - fat (7-8).

And what is necessary to maintain and restore the normal pH? That's right, wipe the skin tonic. When? After washing and before applying the cream, morning and evening.

Here I must digress. I can not fail to mention the fact that the speaking of the beauty of the skin, it is important to know that the skin - it is a mirror of our health. The skin, as if showing us, in what condition are our internal organs as working kidney, liver, thyroid, gastrointestinal tract and so on. And if their work fails, the facial skin is immediately signaled by the emergence of various problems - acne, acne scars, age spots and blemishes, etc... But this text is not about that, but about the proper care, because proper care - as an important part of the beauty and health of the skin.

So, we will continue on the tonic ...

How to remove make-up

Remember the simple rule: wash and remove make-up can be anything that you like it - micellar, or rose water, milk or plain water. It is not so important. It is important that after washing it is necessary to wipe the face tonic! Tonic - an important link in the chain of skin care - cleansing-toning-moisturizing \ food. Or other languages ​​- up removing tonic cream. Because, remember the previous point, the tonic restores the pH level.

Tonic is important to choose the right

One more important thing - it is necessary to choose the right tonic. Many buying tonic, do not even think to check the label for any skin type it is intended. Buy and use a tool that does not suit them and then complain that they do not see any results, or even worse, they say that the skin became worse... Can I use any tonic? Of course not.

Tonics are different, so getting, it is necessary to take into account your skin type! Otherwise, not only will not see the benefit, but the state faces ruin. Almost all self-respecting trademarks release tonic for different skin types. Choose a tonic for your skin type is very important! For example, a special tonic for skin with rosacea are hypoallergenic, contain no alcohol, because the skin kuperoznikov very thin, delicate, ultra-sensitive and care is needed delicate and alcohol more exacerbate the problem.
Another example - a fat problem skin with acne. It is quite another matter! An ideal variant in this case - tonic with salicylic acid. Why? Because it is this - a wonderful salicylic acid, like no other - affects the sebaceous glands, making it work, it helps to narrow pores, dries the skin, helps to cope with acne and greasy shine.
And it is quite clear that the tonic that improve oily skin dry skin is simply fatal - make her land a few times, will cause irritation. That's the whole secret.

I hope you helped my advice, and you will not henceforth be considered a tonic useless tool. And you realize that tonic - an important tool in the chain of skin care products, and will use it on a daily basis.
