The concept of “Secondary cleaning”
Is very out of date
Using toner for secondary cleaning is actually a very old concept.
Before the emergence of cleansing products such as facial cleanser and cleansing gel in our modern skin care, people used soap products to wash their faces. Because their pH value is high, and soap dirt is easy to remain on the skin after cleaning, resulting in a tight feeling.
On this basis, toner was born. In the old toner, alcohol is an indispensable ingredient. It can remove residues, astringe pores, and relieve the tension caused by soap based cleansing.
In addition, the degreasing and bactericidal effect of alcohol improved the problem of acne muscle and oily skin at that time. Therefore, this method of “secondary cleaning” with alcoholic toner was once very popular.

Fear of makeup residue
The best is to take off my make-up carefully
