How to identify alcohol-free toner

Although the alcohol contained in toner can have a certain anti-inflammatory effect, toner containing alcohol is only suitable for acne-prone skin. For people with sensitive skin or no skin problems, it is better not to use toner containing alcohol. However, many female friends do not know how to identify alcohol-free toner when choosing toner. This article will teach you how to identify it.

If you shake a bottle containing alcohol, small bubbles will appear but disappear quickly, while if you shake a bottle without alcohol, the bubbles will last for a long time. Of course it’s better without alcohol. 3 ways to determine whether toner contains alcohol:

Smell: Open the bottle cap and get close to the bottle mouth, you can smell a very obvious smell of alcohol, which means the alcohol content is very high.

Shake: Pick up the bottle and shake it vigorously. After shaking, look at the bubbles. If a lot of very fine bubbles come out when you shake it but disappear quickly, it means that it contains a high level of alcohol.

Touch: Take an appropriate amount of toner and gently pat it on your hands. You can feel a very obvious cooling sensation, which means the alcohol content is very high.

Notice:

1. After shaking the lotion bottle, if the foam produced is fine, numerous, thick, and rich, and does not disappear for a long time, then this is good lotion with high nutritional value.

2. The large foam produced after shaking contains salicylic acid, which is very harmful to the skin. If there are many bubbles but they are large, it means it contains salicylic acid. Salicylic acid is a good cleansing agent, but it is a bit irritating. People who are allergic to salicylic acid or have very sensitive skin should try not to use it.

3. The foam produced after shaking is very fine and disappears quickly. This means that there is too much alcohol in the water. It is not suitable for sensitive skin, but it is okay for oily skin.

4. If there is little foam produced after shaking, it means that the product has few nutrients and is slightly acidic, suitable for both neutral and oily skin types. If a lot of fine bubbles come out when shaking but disappear quickly, it means that it contains alcohol. This type of toner can be used occasionally to reduce inflammation, but it should never be used for a long time as it can easily damage the skin's protective film.
