The actual skin toner, also known as skin tightening water and make-up water, is generally used to regulate the PH value after cleansing and can help the skin to better absorb nutrients, but many people use the toner with a few seconds or dozens of seconds of tingling sensation, what is going on? It's not just a matter of time, but also of time.
What is the reason for the tingling sensation on the face with toner?
Toner contains alcohol
If you have sensitive skin, you will feel a stinging sensation when you use a toner with too much alcohol and salicylic acid, which is more irritating.
Skin is too dry
When the skin is severely dehydrated, small wounds will be formed. When using a toner, some ingredients in it will stimulate these small wounds and a slight tingling sensation will occur, but the tingling will disappear after a few dozen seconds, and this phenomenon does not occur every time, but only occasionally when the skin is extremely dry.
Toner allergy
Allergy to toner is more common in people with thin stratum corneum and more sensitive skin. The allergy is usually accompanied by a burning sensation, redness and itching.
