Skin cycling - co to jest i jak stosować z kosmetykami Orientana?

WHAT IS SKIN CYCLING?

There are a few basic skincare rules that are obvious to informed consumers – we know how important regular cleansing, moisturizing, and daily application of SPF creams are for the skin. However, when we start adding more products, such as anti-aging cosmetics or exfoliants, the situation becomes a little more complicated. You may be wondering: how often should we apply each one? And in what order is it best to apply them?

In its short existence, TikTok has provided us with many skincare trends. From double cleansing to the glass-skin effect – we've seen a lot of skincare advice that we can either adopt or ignore. As for one of the latest trends, skin cycling, the success of this recommendation lies in its versatility. People who regularly care for their skin can rotationally use skincare products to achieve a wide range of effects.

WHAT IS SKIN CYCLING ?

The concept of rotating the use of cosmetics, as presented on social media, is relatively new, although the idea itself should sound familiar, as these methods have been recommended by dermatologists for years.

Dr. Whitney Bowe, a New York dermatologist, is credited with coining the term "skin cycling." According to Bowe, a classic Skin Cycling program consists of a four-night schedule. The first night is for exfoliation, the second for retinoids, and the third and fourth nights are for regeneration, focusing on hydration and repairing the skin's protective barrier. After completing the cycle, the process is repeated.

The idea is to incorporate specific cosmetics with higher concentrations of active ingredients, such as AHAs or retinoids, into your regular skincare routine only on certain days of the week, while allowing the skin to rest and regenerate for the rest of the week.

Although these cyclical skincare treatments are commonly recommended for people with sensitive skin , prone to rosacea or psoriasis, anyone can benefit from this method of skincare, incorporating a full range of effective cosmetics while minimizing the risk of irritation.

WHAT ARE THE STEPS OF A SKINCARE ROUTINE?

Your specific skincare routine may vary depending on your skin type, desired results, and preferences. Everyone seems to have their own preferred skincare cycle, but one of the simplest options is to use an exfoliant on the first evening, a retinoid on the second, and then rest for at least two nights. Exfoliating can be done in the morning, while retinoids should be applied in the evening, so it's usually easiest to simply schedule these additional treatments as part of your evening routine for consistency. If you see good results, stick to your skincare cycle. If you notice inflammation, redness, irritation, or other problems, stop the cycle and talk to a dermatologist.

Exfoliating products and retinoids are the most important products to consider when skin cycling. While these products are essential for skin renewal, stimulating collagen production, and improving skin tone and texture, they can be problematic. Frequent use of exfoliants and retinoids can lead to inflammation and damage to the skin's protective barrier. Therefore, skin cycling allows people to reap the benefits of these products without the unnecessary risk of skin irritation.

CHOOSING A SKIN EXFOLIATION METHOD

The purpose of exfoliation is to remove the outermost layer of the epidermis, which consists of dead keratinocytes. This allows subsequent products to be more easily absorbed by the skin, evens out skin tone and texture, and helps reduce the risk of breakouts and exacerbations of acne lesions.
Various types of peels are available on the market. The most popular are those containing abrasive granules. They perform their function very well, but are not recommended for people with sensitive skin or active acne. Another group is chemical peels, which in turn are divided into acid and enzymatic peels.

CHOOSING RETINOIDS

Retinoid is a term most often used in reference to skincare products containing active ingredients derived from vitamin A and designed to prevent and counteract signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles. However, these are ingredients that act very intensely on the skin and can cause irritation. A cyclical skincare routine can help avoid this undesirable reaction to retinoids. One form of retinol – the modern RETINOL H10 used in ORIENTANA SERUM – is free of irritating properties and will be suitable even for those starting their journey with this ingredient.

MOISTURIZING AND REGENERATION

During a four-day skincare cycle, the remaining two days after exfoliation and retinoids are dedicated to moisturizing and regenerating the skin. Cosmetics with ceramides, such as the modern CERAMIDE SERUM , nourishing oils and butters (e.g., NATURAL CREAMS) , soothing plant extracts, and humectants like hyaluronic acid or trehalose are excellent choices.

IS SKIN CYCLING SAFE?

A cyclical skincare routine isn't ideal for all skin types. Exfoliating twice a week might be too intense for some skin types (in such cases, once a week is recommended); it's worth consulting your dermatologist or cosmetologist, who can assess your skin and determine a suitable program. If you have very sensitive skin, skip this step in your skincare routine.

Dobry krem do twarzy po 50 - naturalne propozycje Orientana wspierające dojrzałą cerę

Po 50. roku życia skóra w naturalny sposób staje się bardziej sucha, traci elastyczność i jędrność, a zmarszczki stają się bardziej widoczne. Otoczenie, zmiany hormonalne oraz spadek produkcji sebum pogłębiają tę słabszą kondycję skóry. Warto wiedzieć, że suchość skóry (xerosis) dotyczy aż od 38% do nawet 85% osób starszych w różnych badaniach klinicznych. Starzenie się skóry ułatwia utratę wilgoci, prowadząc do szorstkiej, łuszczącej się powierzchni i ścieńczenia warstwy ochronnej. Dlatego dobry krem do twarzy po 50 roku życia powinien: Intensywnie nawilżać i odbudowywać barierę ochronną, Regenerować i ujędrniać skórę, Łagodzić podrażnienia i wyrównywać koloryt, Działać silnie antyoksydacyjnie, wspierając walkę ze stresem oksydacyjnym i zmarszczkami. W kolejnych częściach poznasz naturalne propozycje marki Orientana, które spełniają te cele. Czego potrzebuje skóra po 50? Skóra dojrzała charakteryzuje się: Utratą nawilżenia — obniżona aktywność gruczołów łojowych i potowych, szczególnie u kobiet po 60., które mogą mieć aż o 40% niższą produkcję sebum  Obniżoną elastycznością i jędrnością, wynikającą ze spadku kolagenu, elastyny i kwasu hialuronowego. Przesuszeniem i świądem, co potwierdzają doświadczenia dorosłych — świąd występuje u około 33,7% osób powyżej 50 lat  Podatnością na przebarwienia, nierówny koloryt, zwiększoną wrażliwością na oksydację. Dlatego rutyna pielęgnacyjna musi łączyć wielowymiarową ochronę: nawilżenie + regeneracja + bariera + komfort. Naturalne składniki w kremach Orientana Marka Orientana oferuje dobrze dopracowane, naturalne formuły, które zawierają składniki aktywne dedykowane pielęgnacji skóry po 50: Ashwagandha – adaptogen o właściwościach przeciwutleniających, wspomaga regenerację i ochronę przed stresem oksydacyjnym. Śluz ślimaka – ceniony za silne działanie regenerujące, zwalczanie drobnych zmarszczek i wspieranie odbudowy naskórka. Reishi (grzyb) – bogaty w antyoksydanty, działa ujędrniająco i dodaje blasku. Kurkuma i drzewo sandałowe – kurkuma ma właściwości rozjaśniające i przeciwzapalne, a drzewo sandałowe koi i ujędrnia. Dobry krem do twarzy po 50 – rekomendacje Orientana Krem do twarzy Drzewo Sandałowe i Kurkuma BALANS Rozjaśnia przebarwienia, działa przeciwzapalnie, koi i poprawia napięcie skóry — idealna formuła dla skóry suchszej i mniej jędrnej. Krem do twarzy Ashwagandha ODŻYWIENIE Adaptogenny krem, który chroni skórę przed stresem oksydacyjnym, regeneruje i wspiera naturalną odporność cery.

Rano stosujemy lekkie formuły, które dają blask i ochronę antyoksydacyjną, nie obciążając skóry. Wieczór to czas na regenerację — bogatsze składniki wspierają naturalne procesy naprawcze, wyciszenie skóry. Krem do twarzy po 50 - pytania i odpowiedzi Czy krem po 50 może zastąpić serum? Nie – krem i serum pełnią różne funkcje. Serum działa bardziej skoncentrowanie, a krem uzupełnia je o nawilżenie, ochronę i barierę lipidową. W pielęgnacji po 50 warto stosować oba kosmetyki. Czy kremy Orientana nadają się do cery suchej i bardzo suchej? Tak. Kremy ze śluzem ślimaka, Reishi na noc oraz Drzewo Sandałowe i Kurkuma są szczególnie polecane dla skóry suchej – działają intensywnie nawilżająco i regenerująco. Ile razy dziennie stosować krem po 50? Najlepiej dwa razy dziennie – rano i wieczorem. Rano lekka formuła chroni i dodaje blasku (np. Reishi na dzień), a wieczorem bogatsza konsystencja wspiera odnowę skóry (np. Śluz Ślimaka lub Reishi na noc). Czy po 50 warto stosować krem z filtrem SPF? Tak. Ochrona przeciwsłoneczna jest kluczowa. Czy naturalne kremy są tak samo skuteczne jak dermokosmetyki? Naturalne kremy, takie jak Orientana, dzięki adaptogenom, antyoksydantom i bioaktywnym ekstraktom roślinnym, mogą być równie skuteczne. Ich dodatkową zaletą jest łagodność i bezpieczeństwo dla skóry wrażliwej. Jak długo trzeba czekać na efekty kremów po 50? Pierwsze efekty nawilżenia widać już po kilku dniach, poprawa jędrności i redukcja zmarszczek wymaga zwykle 3–4 tygodni regularnego stosowania. Czy można łączyć różne kremy Orientana w jednej rutynie? Tak, np. rano Reishi na dzień, a wieczorem Śluz Ślimaka Odmłodzenie. Ashwagandhę warto stosować dodatkowo, gdy skóra jest zestresowana i potrzebuje wzmocnienia. Czy krem po 50 musi być drogi, żeby działał? Nie. Liczy się skład, a nie cena. Kremy Orientana zawierają wysoko skoncentrowane naturalne składniki aktywne, które działają skutecznie, przy zachowaniu rozsądnej ceny. Czy kremy Orientana są odpowiednie do skóry wrażliwej i naczynkowej? Tak – zwłaszcza Drzewo Sandałowe i Kurkuma oraz Ashwagandha. Mają właściwości kojące, przeciwzapalne i wzmacniające barierę skóry. Czy warto zmieniać krem co kilka miesięcy? Tak, ale nie dlatego, że skóra „przyzwyczaja się”. Raczej ze względu na sezonowość potrzeb: zimą bardziej treściwe formuły (np. Reishi na noc, Śluz Ślimaka), latem lżejsze (Reishi na dzień, Ashwagandha). Jaki jest najlepszy krem do twarzy po 50 na zmarszczki? Świetnym wyborem jest Krem do twarzy Śluz Ślimaka Odmłodzenie, który intensywnie regeneruje skórę, wygładza drobne linie i zmarszczki oraz poprawia jej elastyczność.

Tak – naturalne kremy Orientana zawierają składniki aktywne (ashwagandha, reishi, śluz ślimaka, kurkuma), które działają skutecznie i są łagodne dla skóry dojrzałej. Jaki krem po 50 zamiast zabiegów medycyny estetycznej? Regularne stosowanie kremów z adaptogenami i śluzem ślimaka może poprawić jędrność i redukować zmarszczki, stanowiąc naturalną alternatywę dla inwazyjnych zabiegów. Czy dobry krem do twarzy po 50 musi być bogaty w antyoksydanty? Tak – wolne rodniki są jedną z głównych przyczyn starzenia się skóry. Kremy Orientana z Reishi, Ashwagandhą i Kurkumą neutralizują wolne rodniki i chronią skórę przed stresem oksydacyjnym. 10.

THE HISTORY OF THE FIRST SNAIL SLIME CREAM Snail slime cream, also known as snail cream, has a history rooted in antiquity. In ancient Greece, Hippocrates recommended the use of snails to treat skin inflammations, such as wounds or irritations. Snails were used for their regenerative and moisturizing properties, although the active ingredients of their slime were not fully understood at that time. Modern interest in snail slime was revived in the 1980s when snail farmers in Chile noticed that their hands were exceptionally smooth and healed quickly from cuts. This discovery attracted the attention of scientists who began to study the properties of the slime, leading to its use in cosmetics. The first snail cream was introduced to the market by a Chilean company in the 1990s. As a result of research, Elicina created the first commercial cream containing snail slime, which started a global trend in cosmetics. The product became popular first in South America and then in other markets, especially in Asia, where cosmetics containing natural ingredients gained huge recognition. The importance of snail slime is not limited to the cosmetics industry. Traditionally, it has also been used in natural medicine, especially in treating infections and accelerating tissue regeneration. Today, its use is mainly focused on skin care, where its unique regenerative properties are invaluable. POPULARITY OF SNAIL SLIME IN KOREA As a Polish expert brand using Asian ingredients in cosmetics, we became interested in Korean skin care using snail slime a dozen or so years ago. This ingredient has gained huge popularity in Korea and has become one of the pillars of the global success of Korean skin care (so-called K-beauty). Its phenomenon is based on numerous benefits for the skin, such as regeneration, moisturization and wrinkle reduction. The Korean approach to skin care focuses on prevention and healthy appearance, which perfectly matches the action of snail slime. Thanks to its regenerative and moisturizing abilities, it has been used in a wide range of products, such as creams, serums, masks and essences. What's more, Koreans value natural and innovative ingredients, and snail slime fits perfectly into this philosophy. ORIENTANA SNAIL SLIME CREAM - INGREDIENT Snail slime, also known as mucin, contains a number of active substances that have a beneficial effect on the skin. Allantoin supports skin regeneration, soothes irritations and accelerates healing. Collagen and elastin are proteins responsible for skin elasticity and firmness. Glycolic acid gently exfoliates dead skin cells, which promotes skin renewal. Proteins nourish the skin and improve its structure. Vitamins (A, C, E) act as antioxidants, protecting the skin from harmful external factors and free radicals. ORIENTANA SNAIL SLIME FACE CREAM The action of snail slime in Orientana snail slime face cream is regeneration and repair through healing wounds, scars, as well as reducing the visibility of discolorations and acne scars.

Thanks to natural active ingredients such as allantoin, collagen, elastin and vitamins, it helps rebuild dry, irritated skin, restoring its smoothness, elasticity and healthy appearance.

By regularly using Orientana snail slime hand cream, we strengthen the skin, making it more resistant to harmful external factors. EFFECT OF SNAIL SLIME CREAM ON HANDS Hand skin, often dry and irritated, needs intensive regeneration.

Thanks to the unique properties of snail slime, such as regeneration, hydration and anti-aging, an eye cream with this ingredient can significantly improve the condition of the skin around the eyes. HOW ORIENTANA SNAIL SLIME CREAM AFFECTS THE SKIN UNDER THE EYES Snail slime contains collagen and elastin, which help improve skin elasticity and strengthen its structure. Orientana snail slime eye cream used daily can reduce the visibility of facial wrinkles and fine lines that often appear in this area. The skin around the eyes is particularly susceptible to dryness.

Allantoin, present in snail slime, accelerates skin regeneration processes, which is especially important for the area around the eyes, which quickly shows signs of fatigue and aging. It supports the healing of micro-damages and restores the skin's healthy appearance. Thanks to the content of vitamins (A, C, E) and other antioxidants, Orientana snail cream under the eyes acts as a protective shield against free radicals and environmental pollutants that accelerate skin aging. These antioxidants neutralize the harmful effects of external factors, slowing down the skin aging processes. ADVANTAGES OF EYE CREAM WITH SNAIL SLIME These creams not only moisturize, but also regenerate, rejuvenate and protect the skin. Eye creams with snail slime have a light formula that absorbs quickly, leaving no greasy film on the skin. These creams are not comedogenic. Eye cream with snail slime is an excellent choice for those looking for effective care for the delicate skin around the eyes. Its regenerating, moisturizing and anti-aging properties help fight puffiness, wrinkles, dark circles and dryness, restoring the skin to a younger, fresher appearance. Regular use of the cream provides protection against harmful factors and supports the skin's repair processes. Can snail slime irritate the skin? Snail slime is generally well tolerated, but as with any cosmetic, there is a risk of irritation in people with particularly sensitive skin or prone to allergies. In this case, it is recommended to perform an allergy test before fully using the product. Due to its natural composition, allergic reactions are rare, but can occur, especially if the product contains additional chemicals. Where do we buy snail slime from? In response to the growing demand for snail slime, ecological farms have emerged, where snails are bred in environmentally friendly conditions. On such farms, snails are fed natural food, and the slime is obtained humanely, without harming the animals. The slime is obtained using non-invasive methods, e.g. by gently stimulating the snails, which causes them to secrete slime. Then the snails are returned to their natural environment, where they continue their normal life. One of the basic principles of the Orientana brand is not to use ingredients to the detriment of animals. We attach great importance to ensuring that snails are bred humanely. Countries where snail slime cream is the most popular Creams with snail slime are particularly popular in Asia, especially in South Korea, which is a pioneer in the production of innovative cosmetics. In recent years, snail slime has also gained popularity in Poland. MUCIN Mucins are a family of heavily glycosylated proteins that are secreted by snails for adhesion, hydration, lubrication, and other functions. Despite their ubiquity, snail mucins are largely uncharacterized. Snails produce mucin proteins in their mucus with a wide range of biological functions, including microbial defense, adhesion, and lubrication. Recently, snail mucins have also become a lucrative source of innovation with a wide range of applications in chemistry, biology, biotechnology, and biomedicine. In particular, snail mucins are used as skin care products, wound healing agents, surgical adhesives, and for the treatment of gastric ulcers. Recent advances in integrated omics (genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, glycomic) technologies have improved the characterization of snail mucins, enhancing the generation of new biomaterials. Therapeutic applications of snail mucin in medicine have been explored as antimicrobial agents, drug carriers, anticancer agents, wound healing agents, and biomaterial coatings, among others. Additionally, applications in cosmetics include anti-aging care, moisturization, anti-acne, scarring, and hyperpigmentation. It is important to emphasize that most of the studies conducted are preclinical studies or small clinical trials, which underscores the need for additional large-scale clinical trials to support these claims. The global market for snail mucin products is estimated to be worth between $457 million and $1.2 billion, with growth forecasts in the coming decade. snail slime filtrate In fact, at Orientana we use snail slime filtrate. It is a concentrated extract that is created by purifying and filtering raw snail slime. This process removes all impurities to obtain a pure, active ingredient rich in substances beneficial to the skin. Snail slime filtrate is a technologically advanced cosmetic ingredient obtained by filtering and purifying raw snail slime. It is rich in regenerating, moisturizing and anti-aging substances, making it an effective ingredient in skin care. How is snail slime filtrate made? Snail slime is collected and purified. Raw slime contains water, proteins, enzymes, trace minerals, and other substances that may contain contaminants. The purification process is designed to eliminate unwanted substances such as dead cells, bacteria, and environmental pollutants. After purification, the mucus is filtered several times to obtain a pure and concentrated product that is ready to be used in cosmetics. During the filtration process, the mucus is transformed into a filtrate – a light, watery solution that easily penetrates the skin while preserving all the valuable active ingredients. The filtrate must be stabilized to maintain its properties over a long period of time. Therefore, appropriate preservatives or auxiliary substances are added to prevent decomposition and maintain the biological activity of the ingredients contained. Active ingredients in snail slime filtrate Snail slime filtrate contains a number of active ingredients that have a beneficial effect on the skin: Allantoin – accelerates cell regeneration, soothes and supports healing. Collagen and elastin – proteins that support skin elasticity and firmness. Glycolic acid – gently exfoliates dead skin, supporting skin renewal. Proteins and enzymes – nourish the skin, support its repair and protect it from external factors. Vitamins (A, C, E) – act as antioxidants, helping to protect the skin from the harmful effects of free radicals. The use of snail slime filtrate in cosmetics Snail slime filtrate is commonly used in skin care products such as anti-aging creams where it slows down the aging process, improves skin elasticity and reduces wrinkles. Moisturizing creams where it deeply moisturizes and nourishes the skin, especially dry and tired. Regenerating serums where it helps heal scars, reduce discoloration and repair damaged skin. Acne creams where, thanks to its anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties, the filtrate helps heal acne lesions and reduce scars. Snail slime filtrate is a technologically advanced cosmetic ingredient obtained by filtering and purifying raw snail slime. It is rich in regenerating, moisturizing and anti-aging substances, making it an effective ingredient in skin care. Summary Creams with snail slime are versatile cosmetics that have gained popularity worldwide due to their regenerative, moisturizing and anti-aging properties. They are particularly valued in Asian countries, but their popularity is growing rapidly in other markets as well. In addition, ecological methods of obtaining snail slime make these cosmetics popular among people looking for natural, but at the same time effective care solutions.

Czym się różni naturalny tonik do twarzy od płynu micelarnego?

What is the difference between facial toner and micellar fluid?

What is the difference between facial toner and micellar fluid? Both products – facial toner and micellar fluid have a liquid, watery consistency and are both sold in bottles. However, these products are fundamentally different in their purpose, function and the role they play in facial care. Tasks of micellar fluid Micellar fluid is a cosmetic with the consistency of water that contains small particles – micelles. Their task is to attract all impurities from the face and dissolve them in a minimally invasive way. Micellar fluid is usually intended for both facial and eye make-up removal. It is applied to a cotton pad and then lightly pressed against the skin to combine the fluid with the make-up (e.g. mascara). The fluid will dissolve the make-up and the impurities will be washed off the face together with the cotton pad. Disadvantages of micellar fluid Micellar fluid is a cosmetic that has direct contact with both the skin of the face and the eyelids and eyelashes, so if it contains an ingredient that causes allergies, it may irritate and cause burning, redness or other unpleasant sensations, especially around the eyes. This cosmetic also requires the use of cotton pads, which, if you lack patience and tend to rub the skin with them, may stretch it unnecessarily. Micellar fluid does not always thoroughly clean the skin – you can check and after using it, apply a make-up removal oil, e.g. GOLDEN ORANGE FACE AND EYE MAKE-UP REMOVAL OIL to see if the fluid you are using actually thoroughly removes all make-up and dirt from your face. Additionally, it is worth noting that when using micellar fluid to remove eye makeup, it is easy to break your eyelashes. When they are stiff from mascara, you need to moisten them well with the fluid and wait for the fluid to dissolve the mascara, because premature rubbing with a cotton pad can end in breaking the eyelash. Functions of facial tonic Facial tonic is essential to restore the skin's proper pH after treatments involving: make-up removal cleansing washing peeling Beauticians say that toner should be used after each contact of facial skin with water and always before applying natural care cosmetics such as natural face creams, natural serums, and natural face masks. It can also be used to refresh during the day - especially if it is a natural facial toner in an atomizer - it is a great substitute for thermal water and will not affect makeup. Facial toners are also used to moisturize clay masks if they have dried. Special tasks of facial tonic However, natural facial tonics can also serve the following purposes: soothing irritations and strengthening the skin anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effect protection and regulation of sebum production such as brightening and soothing the complexion, such as JAPANESE ROSE AND PANDAN FACE TONER What ingredients should you avoid in micellar fluids and facial toners? As with most cosmetics, it is always worth checking what the micellar fluid or facial toner we choose really contains. In both of these cosmetics, alcohol is not recommended, but all kinds of natural ingredients are very desirable. In the case of micellar fluid, which has a short-term effect on the skin, the care effect of the ingredients will not be too great, so it is worth checking whether it does not contain the above-mentioned alcohol, substances to which we are allergic, and drying ingredients. However, in the case of a toner that we apply and leave on the face to absorb, it is worth looking for a natural facial toner rich in natural plant extracts, whose beneficial effects on the skin will be quickly visible.

Micellar fluid does not always thoroughly clean the skin – you can check and after using it, apply a make-up removal oil, e.g. GOLDEN ORANGE FACE AND EYE MAKE-UP REMOVAL OIL to see if the fluid you are using actually thoroughly removes all make-up and dirt from your face. Additionally, it is worth noting that when using micellar fluid to remove eye makeup, it is easy to break your eyelashes. When they are stiff from mascara, you need to moisten them well with the fluid and wait for the fluid to dissolve the mascara, because premature rubbing with a cotton pad can end in breaking the eyelash. Functions of facial tonic Facial tonic is essential to restore the skin's proper pH after treatments involving: make-up removal cleansing washing peeling Beauticians say that toner should be used after each contact of facial skin with water and always before applying natural care cosmetics such as natural face creams, natural serums, and natural face masks. It can also be used to refresh during the day - especially if it is a natural facial toner in an atomizer - it is a great substitute for thermal water and will not affect makeup. Facial toners are also used to moisturize clay masks if they have dried. Special tasks of facial tonic However, natural facial tonics can also serve the following purposes: soothing irritations and strengthening the skin anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effect protection and regulation of sebum production brightening and soothing the complexion, such as JAPANESE ROSE AND PANDAN FACE TONER What ingredients should you avoid in micellar fluids and facial toners? As with most cosmetics, it is always worth checking what the micellar fluid or facial toner we choose really contains. In both of these cosmetics, alcohol is not recommended, but all kinds of natural ingredients are very desirable. In the case of micellar fluid, which has a short-term effect on the skin, the care effect of the ingredients will not be too great, so it is worth checking whether it does not contain the above-mentioned alcohol, substances to which we are allergic, and drying ingredients. However, in the case of a toner that we apply and leave on the face to absorb, it is worth looking for a natural facial toner rich in natural plant extracts, whose beneficial effects on the skin will be quickly visible.
