Should I use tonic?

Is it necessary to use tonic after cleansing your face? Everyone has a different preference. Read in this article what exactly it does for your skin and determine whether tonic is something for you.

You use tonic after cleansing your face, before applying your cream. Tonic balances the pH value of your skin and removes residues of cleansing milk and make-up. Tonic is actually always more watery than cleansing milk or gel and has more intense ingredients. After a tonic, your skin feels clean, almost disinfected. This is how you spread your cream on clean skin.

Many tonics contain alcohol, but nowadays there are also tonics with milder ingredients. If you have dry skin, choose a variant without alcohol. Do you have very sensitive skin, or do you suffer from eczema, for example? Then a tonic can be too intense for your skin.
