Hey bubu!
This one’s my go to when I need to wind down at the end of the day or when I need to treat some acne. It exfoliates, it smells like a spa and it feels oh so cooling and calming. When the traffic and hustle bustle of the city feels like it’s slowly starting to get to you, slap some of these on, breathe and call it a night.
Let’s take a look at one of my favourite toner pads.
Key Ingredients of the Vegan Toner Pads and Their Benefits
Tea Tree Oil
This is your skin’s BFF if you struggle with breakouts. Tea tree oil is a natural antiseptic, meaning it helps zap those pesky pimples while keeping your skin calm and clear.
Centella Asiatica Extract
Also known as cica, this ingredient is the talk of the town for soothing and healing. It’s perfect for calming inflammation, reducing redness, and speeding up the healing process. If your skin is prone to being a drama queen, cica will bring it back to chill.
Witch Hazel Extract
This classic astringent helps tighten pores and control excess oil.
Eucalyptus Extract
Refreshing and invigorating, eucalyptus not only smells amazing but also works to purify and balance your skin.
Allantoin
This skin-soothing hero helps to protect and heal the skin. It’s great for reducing irritation and making sure your skin stays soft and smooth.
Salicylic Acid
a gentle formulation that helps to dissolve impurities from deeper within the skin.
Smells and Textures
Let’s get into the sensory experience, shall we? First off, the scent. These toner pads have a refreshing, clean smell thanks to the eucalyptus and tea tree oil. It’s like walking through a spa every time you use them. No overpowering fragrances here, just a nice, subtle aroma that’s perfect for winding down at the end of the day or for starting your mornings peacefully.
Texture-wise, they’re pre-soaked with just the right amount of toner—not too drippy, not too dry. The material has two sides; one that is smooth and glides over your skin, which I usually use when I leave it on to moisturise and cool down, and another side that is embossed with little bumps that can be used to exfoliate.
Suitability for Different Skin Types
Oily Skin
The tea tree oil and witch hazel work together to control excess oil and keep your pores clear. No more midday shine, just a balanced, matte finish.
Dry Skin:
Even though these pads help with oil control, they don’t strip your skin of its natural moisture. The centella asiatica and allantoin ensure that your skin stays hydrated and calm.
Combination Skin
These pads are perfect for balancing out the oily and dry areas of your face. They target the T-zone without neglecting the rest of your skin.
Sensitive Skin
With soothing ingredients like cica and allantoin, these pads are gentle enough for sensitive skin. They help reduce redness and irritation while keeping your skin happy and healthy.
Application Method
Now, let’s talk about how to use these bad boys. Here’s a step-by-step guide to getting the most out of your Belif Problem Solution Vegan Toner Pads:
Cleanse
Start with a clean slate. Use your favourite gentle cleanser to wash away the day’s grime.
Tone
Remember how there are two sides? Swipe the bumpy side across your skin if you want a little exfoliation. If you prefer to just cool down and hydrate I like to stick some on, smooth side down, on my cheeks, forehead and nose. Feel free to use them on any other body parts like your chest and elbows.
Pat Dry
Give your skin a few seconds to absorb all the goodness. You can gently pat your face with clean hands to help the toner sink in.
Follow Up
Continue with your regular skincare routine. Apply your favourite serums, moisturizers, and sunscreen (if it’s daytime).
Repeat
Use these toner pads daily, morning and night, for the best results. Consistency is key, bubu!
Final thoughts
There you have it, bubu! These pads are great for anyone looking to maintain a commitment to vegan and cruelty-free products. They’re packed with powerful (but gentle) ingredients that tackle a range of skin concerns including acne, all while giving you that spa-like experience at home.
Lots of love x
