To adopt a complete and effective skincare routine, applying the moisturizing and toning lotion is an important step that should not be skipped.
To moisturize the skin before makeup, or to rid it of all the particles of foundation and microbes, choosing a good moisturizing lotion is essential.
What is a tonic lotion?
The tonic lotion is a liquid treatment composed of cosmetic active ingredients, which soothe and moisturize your skin. Using a tonic lotion regularly on your face guarantees complete cleansing after removing make-up, and fresh, revitalized skin every morning.
The tonic lotion also purifies your skin and rids it of dead skin. Use before your other care products, it prepares the skin to receive moisturizers and to absorb them well, making it more permeable.
Each type of skin can find the lotion that suits it. For dry and sensitive skin, we favor the application of alcohol-free lotions, containing ingredients of vegetable origin which bring this aspect of freshness, similar to that caused by alcohol. Using a tonic lotion will therefore only have benefits for your skin, and will make it more beautiful and deeply cleansed.
