Why K-Beauty Experts Say You Should Be Using a Toner
Also called lotions, K-Beauty toners are rich in ingredients that hydrate skin rather than rid it of moisture. You can find ingredients like kelp extract, mineral water, amino acids, hyaluronic acid, grapeseed oil, and carrot root oil in K-Beauty toners. But can you beat acne-causing bacteria without the alcohol?
Definitely. There are many other, more calming ways to fight breakouts. K-Beauty toners rely on extracts like propolisTrusted Source and chamomileTrusted Source, which naturally keep bacteria at bay without shifting the skin’s pH. But more importantly, the many steps in a K-Beauty skincare routine also offer more opportunities to banish bacteria.
“Toners are critical after the double cleanse because they remove any impurities your cleansers didn’t catch,” says Charlotte Cho, a licensed esthetician and founder of Soko Glam, an online destination for Korean beauty products. Cho is also the author of “The Little Book of Skin Care: Korean Beauty Secrets for Healthy, Glowing Skin.”
WHEN TO USE A TONERClean your face with a makeup remover and oil-based cleanser, and follow up with a water-based cleanser. After, lightly soak a cotton pad with toner and wipe your skin. If any bacteria or dirt lingers after this double cleanse, a toner will get rid of it
These aforementioned moisturizing ingredients are important because they restore the skin’s pH. Your skin’s natural pHTrusted Source is around 5.5. But pollution, oil production, makeup, and alcohol can shift your skin’s state, hence its pH. K-Beauty toners, on the other hand, mimic the skin’s natural pH. Most have a pH ranging from 5.0 to 5.5, according to Pai. By applying K-Beauty toners directly to the skin, you encourage skin to maintain its balanced state.
“If skin is not at a balanced pH level, it becomes prone to the cycle of excessive dryness followed by too much oil production, and even environmental damage,” says Pai.
WHY YOU SHOULD BUY A TONERKeep in mind, pure water has a pH of 7. Meaning, simply cleansing and splashing your face with faucet water can leave your skin unbalanced. So K-Beauty toners aren’t just a required step, they’re also a logical one.

Think of your skin like a sponge,” says Cho. “It’s more difficult to rehydrate it when it’s dried up than when it’s already a bit damp. Essence, treatments, and moisturizers will be more fully absorbed when prepped with toner than when the skin is dry.”
Pai adds that when you have dry skin, products like serums, masks, and moisturizers will just sit on top of this layer of dead skin. “Alcohol actually dries your skin out more, which makes this problem worse,” she says. “But when skin is hydrated and at a balanced pH after applying toner, other products can penetrate the skin.”

Not all toners are created equal — but not all American toners are bad either. While many brands in the United States may have a bad rap due to their moisture-stripping properties, some manufacturers have caught on to produce mists that work for more sensitive skin. For example, you can try rose water sprays, which are known to help rebalance your skin’s pH.
In the world of K-Beauty, toners are seen as a must-have for healthy, balanced skin.

By: Nur 'Inayah On September 28, 1980, an article appeared in the Washington Post told a very sad story about the life of Jimmy, a young boy who had become a victim of the thriving heroin trade that was devastating the low-income neighbourhoods of Washington D.C. Jimmy who was caught in a cycle of addiction, violence and despair had  become a heroine addict after being introduced by his mother’s live-in boyfriend. Janet Cooke, the author of the article wrote that Jimmy is an 8-year-old boy with a third-generation heroin addict.

Petua Membuka Semula Pejabat Anda dengan Selamat

Oleh: Nur 'Inayah Buka sekarang? Buka kemudian? Ketika perdebatan berleluasa untuk memulakan semula ekonomi, satu elemen kritikal tidak ada dalam perbincangan. Peramal kejayaan atau kegagalan kita tidak banyak berkaitan dengan perniagaan ketika membuka pintu pejabat. Menjaga pekerja dan pelanggan dengan selamat dan sihat semasa berniaga dalam pandemi yang berterusan tidak hanya bergantung pada tingkah laku seperti memakai topeng, melakukan pemeriksaan suhu, mencuci tangan, dan menjauhkan diri sejauh enam kaki. Ini akan bergantung pada membuat kita semua melakukan perkara-perkara ini, setiap masa, untuk jangka masa yang lama. Majikan sebagai fasilitator.  Perkara ini tidak boleh diserahkan kepada HR, atau diserahkan kepada perunding. Majikan mesti berdiri di hadapan pekerja dan menunjukkan keikhlasan dan komitmen mereka terhadap dasar baru. Pemesejan moral.  Melaksanakan kes moral untuk mengubah tingkah laku dengan menceritakan kisah rakan, keluarga, atau pelanggan yang terkena damp
