What is Essence Toner?
Essence toner is a liquid that is applied to the skin after cleansing in order to remove any remaining cleanser residue and also help moisturize it. Essence toners can be used by both men and women. They’re mostly used as an add-on product for skincare routines, but they also serve a few other purposes such as treating hyperpigmentation on the face or hands. Here are some of the benefits of using an essence toner:
1. Removes Any Remaining Cleanser Residue from the Skin
When you use a foaming cleanser, some of its particles are not washed away through your regular water rinsing. These particles remain on the skin, so applying an essence toner after cleansing helps to fully rid your skin of any remaining cleanser residue.
2. Helps Moisturize the Skin
Using an essence or a toner after cleansing helps to moisturize your skin. This is especially good in the wintertime when you may be using more facial moisturizer.
3. Treats Hyperpigmentation and Acne
Some people with darker skin types may experience hyperpigmentation or acne and essences are great for treating these skin conditions. Wearing sunscreen frequently and using a proper skincare routine can also help prevent hyperpigmentation or acne.
4. Soothes Skin
Essences are also great as a body moisturizer and can also be used to soothe irritated skin.
How to Use an Essence Toner
When using an essence for your face, you should use about 3-4 pumps of the product and apply it to your face using a cotton pad. Wait until the essence has dried before applying any other products, such as moisturizer or sunscreen.
Using an essence toner is an effective and easy way to help you achieve clearer skin. It may also serve other purposes such as treating hyperpigmentation or acne on the face. You can find essence toners at specialty stores or online.
