Yesterday my friend asked me what recommended brands I had after using the toner, and I asked her if you would like toner or serum or something? My friend looked at me with a confused face and said: Aren't they all skin care water, why do you still distinguish so many varieties of water? At this time, I found that there are many people who can't distinguish between toner, essence water, lotion, astringent water and so on.
If you blindly follow the skin care water products recommended by the Internet celebrities, not according to the product ingredients, their own skin quality characteristics, it is possible to use more and more bad face, so we should pay attention to this, the next for everyone to popularize the toner, essence water, lotion, astringent water and other functions, sisters according to their own skin type to choose, remember this, skin care water does not need to be expensive, only use the right.
