Toner, also known as rose water, is a popular beauty product of many women.Toner is actually not distilled rose water as many people think but this is a gentle cleaning and moisturizing product, they will be used after cleaning the face to help balance the pH, clean the amount of excess oil.And the remaining dirt is left, and moisturizes lightly to help the skin easily absorb the following nutrients.
Toner has many different types, of which one is being bought by many beauty believers as toner acid.This type of toner promises to bring outstanding use, help to exfoliate gently, limit acne and make the skin more beautiful.But if you do not know how to use it properly, toner acids are also dangerous, can "destroy" your skin.
Toner acid is essentially a common toner but is added by the manufacturer to add chemical exfoliating ingredients AHA, BHA such as glycolic acid, lactic acid, malic acid, salicylic acid ... These active ingredients will help light exfoliating lightlygentle, deep clean, shrink pores, limit the formation of acne, wrinkles, brighten the skin.
However, the "danger" of toner acid is also in the ingredient containing acid.According to the famous dermatologist Renée Rouleau, who has more than 30 years of experience in the field of beauty, said: "The problem of people when using toner acid is that they use too much and too often.Toner acid is a gentle exfoliating method, when you have regularly used toner acid combined with other exfoliating methods such as facial cleaners, physical exfoliating products, serums or lotionsAcid containing ... it will become "overloaded" with the skin, destroying the outer skin protective film".
In addition, many people mistakenly think that regular use of toner acid daily will help clean the pores, "push" clean dirt deep in the skin.But not so, Dr. Renée explained: "When applied on the skin, the acids in the toner will make the skin dehydrated and become drier.At first, you can feel the skin becomes soft, shrink pores, but in the long run the skin will gradually become dry, dehydrated, dull, no longer shiny, fast, old manmore".
When "overloaded" by using toner acid, the skin will become dull, loss of shine and become dry, cracked.
