Surely you have at least once asked yourself this question, wondering which of the two skin care products to purchase. It seems that they are almost the same. Or is it still not? This article will help you figure it out.
First, let’s talk about the similarities of these two products. Both tonic and hydrolat are used for the following purposes:
— equalize the pH of the skin;
— cleanse the skin of impurities;
— prepare for further procedures.
Both products are safe for the skin, but it is worth remembering that they can cause individual allergic reactions.
And now we offer to go through some points in which the differences between tonics and hydrosols are hidden.
Compound
Tonic = water + oils + extracts + vitamins + glycerin
Hydrolate = distilled water + herbal ingredients
Smell
Tonics have a pronounced pleasant aroma, which is given by special mixtures of essential oils in the composition.
The hydrolat has a rather specific, but not pronounced aroma, which arises due to the microparticles of essential oils remaining after distillation.
Effect on the skin
Tonic and hydrolat act differently on the skin.
Tonics have a pH of 5-6, while the pH of hydrolates can vary. Not every hydrosol will be able to restore the pH of the skin to the proper level.
Tonics provide the skin with a feeling of hydration, softness and uniformity, while hydrolates quickly soothe irritation and redness of the skin.
So, what do you prefer — tonic or hydrolat?
As you can see, it is difficult to unequivocally answer this question: each product has its own pluses and minuses. In any case, the decision is yours.
We advise you to put both products on the shelf in the bathroom. And no, they will not duplicate each other: the tonic can be used to cleanse the skin, and the hydrolat, as a more versatile product, can be added to masks, body wraps, baths, sprayed on hair, used in aromatherapy, etc.
