Using this toner with cotton is also useful for removing the remnants of dirt such as make-up, pollution, and oil. But, that does not mean toner can be used as a facial cleanser, yes. When using a cotton swab, you just need to gently pat it, not rub it.

Directly Apply by Hand

For those of you who have dry skin, it's a good idea to apply toner in this way. Using your hands when using a toner is believed to make the skin more hydrated, you know. Make sure your hands are clean too, okay? Because the toner will absorb and work best when using clean hands.

Similar to using cotton, the application of toner by hand is also enough to be gently patted so that the toner can be more absorbed into the skin.

Toner serves as a starting point to prepare the face so that it can absorb other skincare products such as serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen. The function of the toner itself is to clean the face from residual dirt, moisturize, cool, and fade acne scars.
