Why are tonic waters important?

What is tonic water?
Toning water (also known as toner, skin, tonic) is a light water product based on active substances, which serves as the second step in the skin care routine, right after cleansing. It has multiple functions, including removing cleanser residue, balancing the skin's pH and preparing the skin for other products such as serums and creams.

The main effects of tonic waters
Balancing the pH of the skin:
After cleaning the skin, the pH of the skin decreases, as cleaning products so-called surfactants lower the pH and create a slightly acidic environment. Toner helps us to restore this balance so that the skin works better.
Residue removal:
The toner removes the remains of make-up, cleaning product and impurities that may have been caught on the skin.
Hydration:
Modern toners often contain moisturizing ingredients that immediately add moisture and softness to the skin.
Skin Soothing:
Toning waters with natural ingredients (such as centela asiatica, aloe vera, hyaluronic acid, bakuchiol, propolis, mucin, red grapes, etc.) help reduce irritation and redness.
Preparation for next steps:
Toner increases the absorption of active substances from subsequently applied products such as serums, ampoules and creams.
Improving skin texture:
Some toners contain exfoliating ingredients (AHA, BHA or PHA) that gently remove dead cells and improve the skin's surface.
Pore ​​reduction and oil control:
Toners for oily or combination skin can reduce the appearance of enlarged pores and help regulate sebum production.
