Will using toner pads every day be harsh on the skin?
I'm sure there are so many people who use toner pads every day because they are so convenient. They are a must-have on my vanity, so I reach for them daily, but sometimes I suddenly worry that they might be harsh on my skin. Actually, while toner pads are great for refining skin texture, I've heard that because they involve physical friction every day, they can actually be harmful depending on your skin condition. I think I've heard similar things about face masks. They say that especially on days when your skin is sensitive or your skin barrier is weakened, wiping it with the rough side of the pad can cause micro-abrasions or redness. But I still want to keep using them... I'm feeling conflicted...
If you have healthy skin, it is fine to use it every day, but if you have sensitive skin, it is said that applying the pad like a mask is better than wiping it off daily.
Reducing the frequency is probably a good idea... Today, I'm just too exhausted from my tiring daily routine to be bothered with anything.
