Tonics

Undoubtedly, one of the most important products are facial tonics. Why? – many of you will ask I have never used a tonic and I was fine. So what’s the big deal with the tonic? Let us explain:

As you know, the skin has its own pH, that serves it best. The value of pH is usually 5.5, which is slightly acidic. In such an environment, the microbiome, the so-called “good” and “bad” bacteria remain in balance with each other, ensuring the proper functioning of the skin. After removing make-up and cleansing the face – due to the used cosmetics – the pH of the skin immediately changes. Most often, it becomes alkaline. This disturbs the balance of the microbiome and unwanted “surprises” may appear. We must also be aware that only in a slightly acidic environment the cosmetics that we apply, after using tonic, can be absorbed. Tonic is necessary to create that slightly acidic environment. We also debunk a common myth: tonic is not used to wash the face, it is used to ensure the right environment for the skin and to prepare it for subsequent treatments. Such cosmetics should be made with very gentle ingredients that soothe irritation and prevent imperfections. Also, the high-quality tonic containing active nutrients regenerates the skin already at the cellular level.

In this section, we present natural facial tonics made from carefully selected ingredients. Lotus flower extract strengthens skin structure, speeds up the process of wound healing, has antibacterial and toning properties. Basil extract has strong anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Algae soothe, calm and moisturise the skin. Tonics help to maintain the proper pH of the skin while moisturising and hydrating it.

The natural facial tonics, available in our store, have been created to meet the specific needs of women of all ages. Due to the fact that they contain only natural ingredients, the tonics are suitable for types of skin: combination, normal, acne-prone, mature, atopic, problematic, oily, dry, sensitive and allergic.

Is it worth using tonics that do not contain alcohol

Choosing cosmetics for facial care and cleansing is not an easy task. Many preparations contain alcohol which irritates the skin, causes imperfections in the form of pimples, redness, spots, discolouration and also makes dermatological problems worse. Alcohol also dries out the skin and it is difficult to restore it to the desired condition. Therefore, the optimal solution are tonics with no alcohol that contain only natural ingredients.

KOI tonic was designed to prepare facial skin for further care in the best possible way. Thanks to its composition, the alcohol-free tonic offered by us is characterised by a high level of effectiveness. Also, the rather strong fragrance does not irritate and the pleasant texture makes the skin care procedure one of the most pleasant activities.

How to use facial tonics

The effectiveness of any cosmetic depends both on its composition and on its proper application. Therefore, to improve the effectiveness of our facial tonics, it is important to follow some extremely important steps while taking care of your face. Before applying the tonic, you should carefully remove your make-up, then cleanse your face with a cleansing gel and dry your skin with a towel.

The next step is to use tonic. You can place some product on a cotton pad and gently wipe your face or spray it on your skin using the atomiser, then wait a few minutes for the cosmetic to get absorbed. Our alcohol-free cleansing tonics leave your skin clean, soft, smooth, radiant and ready for next cosmetics. Serum, lotion, cream or moisturising emulsion get absorbed better.

Natural face tonics can also be used as moisturising mist during the day. This will make the foundation and powder you apply stay longer on your face. Your make-up stays longer and it does not require many touch-ups throughout the day.
