Toner, hydrosol floral water, and spray are all three skin care products that are used in very similar ways. Each of them seems to be used for wet application. They are often used as the first step before makeup or skin care. They also have moisturizing effects. , what is the difference between them?
This question is jointly answered by Hu Bian and Na Bian. Everyone, hurry up and get your notebooks ready XDD
To solve this problem, we checked a lot of information and tried many products ourselves. Finally, we came up with the following results, which we share with you!
Lotion
If the active ingredients of ordinary lotions are not enough, the most basic function is to cleanse and balance the PH value again. The moisturizing ingredients of good lotions can moisturize the skin's cuticles and make them full of moisture, which can be used as a precursor to subsequent maintenance.
Especially oily skin is very suitable to use lotion, because the above advantages can effectively help oily skin condition the skin.
However, the additives of some lotions contain alcohol or artificial flavors, which may be difficult for sensitive skin. Some high-performance lotions even contain low amounts of acids, which may be harmful to those with sensitive or dry skin. Friends can be more exciting.
Therefore, friends with sensitive skin should pay more attention when choosing lotions than ordinary people, and choose mild and hypoallergenic formulas.
Hydrosol flower water
Hydrosol flower water comes from natural plants and is an extraction produced when plant essential oils are distilled. The source of ingredients is very simple, the ingredients are very mild, and the nutrients are also very rich. The efficacy will vary depending on the characteristics of different plants~
However, although hydrosol flower water is very helpful in conditioning skin, the ingredients contain trace amounts of "lipid"
It may affect makeup, so it is not recommended to use pure lotion after makeup.
Moreover, each plant has different characteristics. Compared with lotions and sprays, you need to pay more attention to the timing of using hydrosol.
spring water spray
As for the spray, it is very simple and convenient to use, and can be used even after makeup!
The spray contains no lipid components, and the water molecules are very small, which absorbs quickly and does not affect makeup.
And when our face is covered with oil and makeup, the spray contains a lot of minerals and trace elements, which can soothe the skin.
If your makeup comes off, you can spray it with a spray to calm it down after absorbing the oil, then touch up your makeup, and finally spray another spray to set your makeup. The makeup effect will not only be more consistent, but also last longer.
However, because the spray does not contain lipid components, its effect in helping the skin lock in moisture is lower than that of hydrosol. You can use it at your own discretion~
How to choose between hydrosol floral water, lotion and spray?
For me, I need all three products (in fact, I really use them all), because their functions and effects are still a little different (one cannot exist without the other, is my opinion). If I really want to compare, the following This is my sharing for your reference:
Moisturizing: hydrosol = lotion > spray
Mild: hydrosol = spray > lotion
Convenient: spray > lotion = hydrosol
I hope that after reading this article, you will have a better understanding of lotions, hydrosols, and sprays, and you will also be able to find the products that are most suitable for you and when to use them.
