After washing your face with a suitable soap, how about boosting skin cleansing using a facial tonic? After all, this little product, which is often left out, helps eliminate any residue that the soap was unable to remove, contributing to unclogging pores.
However, a more thorough cleaning is not the only advantage that the tonic brings. Depending on its composition, it can even be a great ally to deal with blackheads and pimples, stains and excess oiliness. Oh, and another thing: this cosmetic prepares the dermis for the other stages of the skincare routine, making the assets used later penetrate more efficiently.
“Specifically on oily skin, it eliminates dirt and excessive sebum production. Thus, it leaves the skin free of that excessive shine for a few hours”, explains the dr. Fernanda Nichellea doctor who works exclusively in the aesthetic area and is in charge of Clínica MAC.
HOW TO USE?
According to the specialist, the facial tonic is not an indispensable product, however, if you want to obtain even better results on your skin, it is interesting to use it. But here comes the doubt: how to include it in the routine? People explain:
Either in the morning or at night, after washing your skin with soap and water, apply the tonic with a cotton pad or your own hand. No need to rinse. Once that’s done, move on to the other skincare steps, such as applying a serum and sunscreen.
