Korean toner can be applied using either a cotton pad or your hands, gently patting it into your skin for absorption.
Here's a breakdown of the application process:
Methods of Application:
-
With Hands: This is often preferred as it's gentler on the skin.
- Pour a few drops of toner into the palm of your hand.
- Gently pat the toner onto your face and neck until fully absorbed.
- Avoid rubbing or dragging the skin.
-
With a Cotton Pad: This can help exfoliate lightly and remove any remaining residue after cleansing.
- Saturate a cotton pad with toner.
- Gently sweep the cotton pad across your face and neck in upward motions.
- Avoid harsh rubbing.
Tips for Application:
- Gentle is Key: Regardless of the method, always pat or gently sweep the toner onto your skin. Avoid harsh rubbing, which can irritate the skin.
- Layering (Optional): Korean skincare often involves layering products. You can apply multiple layers of toner for extra hydration.
- Timing: Apply toner immediately after cleansing while your skin is still slightly damp. This helps the toner absorb more effectively.
- Listen to Your Skin: Pay attention to how your skin reacts. If you experience any irritation, reduce the frequency of use or try a different toner.
Ultimately, the best method for applying Korean toner depends on your personal preference and skin type. Experiment to find what works best for you.
