ROUND LAB 1025 Dokdo Toner is a hydrating and balancing toner designed to prep the skin for better absorption of subsequent skincare products. Here's how you can use it in your skincare routine:
Step 1: Cleanse Your Face
- Before applying the toner, make sure your face is clean and free of any makeup, dirt, or impurities. You can use your favorite cleanser or the ROUND LAB 1025 Dokdo Cleansing Balm as mentioned earlier.
Step 2: Dispense the Toner
- Take an appropriate amount of the Dokdo Toner onto a cotton pad or into the palm of your hands. The amount you need can vary based on your preference and the condition of your skin.
Step 3: Apply to Your Face
Using a Cotton Pad:
- If using a cotton pad, gently sweep the soaked pad across your face, avoiding the eye area. You can start from the center of your face and move outwards, covering your cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin.
Using Your Hands:
- If you prefer, you can also apply the toner by gently patting it into your skin with your clean hands. This method is often recommended for those who want to minimize waste or feel that cotton pads absorb too much product.
Step 4: Focus on Trouble Spots
- If you have areas of concern, such as dry patches or areas prone to breakouts, you can pat a bit more toner onto those spots. This helps to provide extra hydration and balance to specific areas.
Step 5: Let it Absorb
- Allow the toner to fully absorb into your skin before moving on to the next step in your skincare routine. This usually takes about 30 seconds to a minute.
Tips:
-
Layering: The Dokdo Toner is gentle and hydrating, so you can layer it if needed. If you feel your skin needs an extra boost of hydration, you can apply multiple layers by repeating the application steps.
-
Morning and Evening: You can use the toner both in the morning and evening as part of your skincare routine. In the morning, it helps to refresh and prepare your skin for makeup, while in the evening, it helps to hydrate and balance after cleansing.
-
Follow Up with Skincare: After applying the toner, continue with the rest of your skincare routine. This might include serums, moisturizers, and sunscreen during the day.
-
Cooling Effect: Some users enjoy storing their toner in the refrigerator for a refreshing and cooling effect, especially during hot weather.
-
Sensitive Skin: If you have sensitive skin, it's always a good idea to do a patch test first or start by using the toner every other day to see how your skin reacts.
