Toner Pads: The Latest Korean Skincare Trend
When seeking quick yet intensive hydration for our skin, sheet masks may come to mind; but a quicker, multifunctional alternative has emerged in the Korean skincare scene – toner pads.
Plenty of Korean brands have launched their own toner pads, equipped with a range of functions; Olive Young, a leading beauty retailer in Korea, points out in a report that the sales of toner pads have burgeoned by 30% this year, testifying just how viral this trend is.
Each palm-sized pad is soaked in skin-friendly serum and can gently exfoliate or care for pores by lightly wiping one over your face after cleansing. You can even leave a few on for pinpoint soothing and hydrating topical treatment.Toner Pads vs. Sheet Masks
Sheet masks usually require 15-20 minutes to work their magic, some needing even longer, but leaving a toner pad on your face for just 3-5 minutes is enough for quick revitalization. The pads’ small sizes also make it easier to target parts of the face requiring special functional care or hydrate parts prone to dryness before applying makeup.
Different Pad Textures: What for?
Korean toner pads are usually double-sized, featuring an embossed side and a smooth side. After washing your face, start with the embossed side to lightly exfoliate and remove dead skin cells, then wet your skin with the smooth side (or let it sit like a sheet mask) to soothe and moisturize.
How to Pick My Toner Pads?
For Dry and Sensitive Skin: Go for toner pads with hydrating and calming effects.
For Oily and Acne-prone Skin: Toner pads with exfoliating and pore care functions can help with oil control and reducing blackheads.
