Jazzi, Would you have a link that you can share ? I would like to read more about that.
Thanks |
Wasn't sure which point you were interested in, so I just linked all of them! 
This shop page explains more on the toner vs. lotion thing and offers examples:

This shows how to use the lotion mask:

^That pink haired lady is Chizu Saeki, Japan's skin guru. EDS has a thread about her books and philosophy somewhere...
Youtube has a ton of other videos about lotion masks. Results are clearly visible.
This is kind of the sort of cotton that works with lotions:

And this is the kind of mask tablet. They are compressed and expand when soaked with lotion (or whatever, people use floral waters and even juice, anything watery works):

These ones are the best I've tried. Yes, there are differences even with something as simple as a sheet of paper:

Other than that, you might want to try something like the popular Hada Labo Gokujyun lotion.

Proper application also helps. Right after washing face, pat dry with towel. Rub palms together like a Qui Gong practitioner, take like 1-3 ml of lotion, rub between hands to warm lotion up and then apply with gentle outward swiping motions, no dragging or rubbing. And then just pat with fingers till everything absorbs (might take a while), placing hands on cheeks and forehead for a moment is nice too, warmth relaxes, increases blood flow and helps push lotion into skin instead of evaporating. Then apply moisturizer or serum or whatever to seal moisture in. |
