What are toner pads?
Toner pads are pre-soaked pads that are infused with toner, ready to use. Not long ago, toner pads were just a Korean skincare innovation, yet now these are a staple in skincare routines around the world. Ideal for those who like to pamper their skin, as well as for those that like practical and effective skincare routines, toner pads manage to meet everyone’s expectations and needs. When it comes to results, there are a lot of different things you can count on your toner pad to do! From soothing to hydrating or even exfoliating formulas, there’s a lot to choose from. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves… you’ll see all about that in a second.
Are toner pads the same as toner?
We can say that toner pads are a step beyond your regular toner, not only because it comes with its own application pad but also because you’re probably going to use a greater amount of product and it will be in contact with your skin for longer. Long story short, even though toners and toner pads have differences, they replace one another in your skincare routine. You won’t need to use your regular liquid toner when you use your toner pads!
Are toner pads necessary?
Toner may not be an essential step in all skincare routines, but it definitely is nice to have. Depending on the formula and action you choose, toner pads can be a quiet yet transforming step in your routine. Our suggestion is that you access your routine, ask your skin what it’s lacking and go in with toner pads to the rescue!
How often should you use toner pads?
Wondering if you can use toner pads every day? The answer depends on the formula. Most formulas are suitable for everyday application; however, we would recommend checking the directions of your selected formula! If you’re using hydrating formulas, your skin should thrive with everyday application. However, if you got yourself some exfoliating pads and your skin is sensitive, you may need to interspace the application.
How long should I leave toner pads on?
Toner pads may be used as you’d do with a regular cotton pad, with a few swipes across the face before discarding it. Alternatively, you may—in order to take full advantage of the formula and product presentation— place a few toner pads on the skin, and create kind of a DIY toner mask. If you’d like to try the “mask” application, you can leave the pad on for about 10 to 15 minutes. Nevertheless, you should read the product’s recommendation, and be cautious when using exfoliating pads.
