In this article I will explain how to use facial toner for the 7 skin method , a ritual that comes to us from Korean skincare .
The 7 skin method is a very simple skincare routine ritual: after cleansing, simply apply facial toner several times to give your skin more hydration.
What is facial toner?
Facial toner is a liquid product, to be applied immediately after cleansing in your skincare routine.
The facial toner has an acidic pH, to restore the skin's pH that could be altered during cleansing and to eliminate the limescale that is naturally present in tap water.
Contains hydrolates, hydrating agents and specific active ingredients depending on the type of action.
For the 7 skin method I recommend using an alcohol-free facial toner , suitable for your skin type.
You can also use a simple floral water, such as rose water with anti-aging action.
What is the 7 Skin Method?
As I mentioned a few lines above, the 7 skin method is a step in the Korean skincare routine , which involves layering toner.
On cleansed and dry skin, the facial toner is applied 3 to 7 times in a row, to increase skin hydration; the skin will immediately be more toned and luminous, truly thirst-quenched!
How to do the 7 Skin Method
All you need is a facial toner and your fingers!
Cleanse your face and dry it well, dabbing gently with a soft towel.
Take your facial toner and pat it with your fingertips or palms until absorbed. Patting the toner helps improve its absorption and reactivate the microcirculation, for brighter skin.
Repeat the process up to 7 times, depending on the needs of your skin : when you notice that your skin absorbs the product more slowly, it means that you have reached the right number of layers for you.
Once you have completed these steps, continue with your usual skincare routine.
When to do the 7 skin method
Listen to your skin!
Skincare is a treat you give yourself and, as such, it should always be a pleasure.
You can also include the 7 skin method in your daily skincare routine if you want: even though there are many steps, you won't need a lot of time to complete them all.
It can be a daily step or you can insert it only when you feel the need for extra hydration.
I included it in my evening skincare routine but, sometimes, I also include it in the morning skincare steps, especially when my skin seems dull and tired and I want an extra pampering.
The 7 skin method is suitable for all seasons: in winter it adds hydration to the skin that is often tested by radiators, wind and cold.
In the summer it helps to refresh your skin and, if you have oily or combination skin, it could be enough on its own to give you the hydration you need all day long.
7 Skin Method: Extra Tips
If you want to try to include the 7 skin method in your skincare routine, here are my extra tips:
1. You can also mix different toners in the layering .
2. For an even more hydrating treatment, you can use a mist or an essence !
Essences are usually thicker than a toner and contain even more hydrating actives. You can use them for all the steps of the 7 skin method or just for some.
In this case, remember to start with the more watery and light products and gradually move on to fuller-bodied and richer products.
3. The 7 skin method is also perfect for men's skincare!
Applying the toner by tapping is a gesture that recalls the application of aftershave, with which our men are already familiar. A good anti-aging toner, with a neutral fragrance, is what is needed to make this treatment even more complete.
Which facial toner should I use?
If you want to try including the 7 skin method in your skincare routine , choose a facial toner that is suitable for your skin type.
Dry, sensitive and delicate skin will be best pampered by products containing soothing and refreshing active ingredients, such as chamomile, aloe vera, mallow.
Oily and combination skin needs facial toners with active ingredients that balance sebum production and tighten pores, but at the same time soothe redness and inflammation. Products with horsetail, licorice, rosemary, witch hazel, and lavender are excellent.
If you want to give hydration and protection to your skin, use a facial toner with probiotics, such as Probiotic Mist Yuniwa Cosmetics
Probiotics improve our skin's natural defenses and help protect it from stress, pollution, redness and skin problems.
Probiotic Mist improves the ability of cells to respond to stress, improves the skin barrier, reduces skin inflammation, improves the skin's ability to regenerate.
Enriched with Peptides, it gives the skin a smooth appearance and helps reduce fine wrinkles and expression lines.
