In Korea,
toner pads are more than just a toner step; they're a versatile skincare tool.
Here’s how the locals are using the Isntree Zinc Cooling Pad:
1. The Quick Morning Toner (닦토 - 'Dak-To'): In the morning rush,
instead of a full cleanse,
many people just swipe a pad across their face to wipe away overnight impurities and prep the skin for makeup.
It's fast,
effective,
and hydrating.
2. The DIY Sheet Mask (스킨팩 - 'Skin Pack'): This is the most popular method.
Before makeup or at night,
you place the pads on specific areas that need extra care – like cheeks to reduce redness,
the forehead to cool down heat,
or the chin to soothe breakouts.
Leave them on for 5-10 minutes for an intensive treatment.
3. The Makeup Touch-Up Assistant: Use a pad to gently wipe away cakey makeup during the day before reapplying concealer or cushion foundation.
It adds a boost of hydration and makes the touch-up look fresh and seamless.
4. The Post-Sun Soother: After a day out in the sun,
storing these pads in the refrigerator and then applying them to the face and neck provides incredible relief from sun exposure and heat.
It's an essential summer skincare step.
To maximize the benefits of the Zinc Cooling Pad,
try pairing it with these Isntree favorites for a synergistic effect:
Isntree Green Tea Fresh Toner: After using the pad,
layer this toner on top.
The green tea helps to further control sebum and provides antioxidant benefits,
making it a power combo for oily and combination skin.
Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Aqua Gel Cream: Lock in all the hydration from the pad with this lightweight,
refreshing gel cream.
It provides a final layer of moisture without feeling heavy or greasy,
leaving your skin perfectly balanced.
Isntree Onion Newpair B5 Ampoule: If you're focused on soothing troubled skin and fading blemishes,
applying this ampoule after the pad can accelerate the healing process.
The onion extract and panthenol work to repair the skin barrier and calm irritation.
