What is the difference between face toner & liquid exfoliant?
While they might seem similar, toner and liquid exfoliants have distinct and purposeful roles. We explore the often asked question: what is the difference between face toner and liquid exfoliant?
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FACE TONER AND LIQUID EXFOLIANT?
Toners are used after cleansing to gently rebalance the skin. They help in refining pores, balancing the skin, and preparing the skin to absorb subsequent products like serums and moisturizers more effectively. Be mindful in your selection and choose hydrating toners and floral water. Toners with an alcohol base can be drying, which can weaken the skin’s natural protective barrier.
On the other hand, liquid exfoliants, acting as a chemical exfoliator, work at a deeper level to remove dead skin cells; refreshing the skin and encouraging renewal. These formulas include alpha hydroxy acids, like glycolic acid, or stronger beta hydroxy acids like salicylic acid to exfoliate the skin.
