[Culture & Life Reporter Eunji Kim] In summer, tap tap tap!

The 'real' heat, with daytime highs hovering around 30 degrees Celsius, has begun. As the fear of the peak summer in August grows, the skin is the first to express distress. Sweating profusely, sebum oozing out, and accumulating dead skin cells have all triggered red alerts for the skin.

When it comes to beauty items that can sweep away all these impurities, nothing beats 'daktto (wiping toner)'. However, you can't rely on daktto every day. No matter how gently you wipe with a cotton pad soaked in toner, it's undeniable that it can strain the skin.

To revitalize tired skin, focus on a watery toner, also known as 'chaptto (a toner that you tap gently into the skin)'. Compared to daktto, chaptto has a sticky texture. This viscosity provides moisture and nourishment to the skin and offers a soothing effect. If your skin is in a total state of imbalance, this is a skincare item you must use.

The generously usable 'Jemose Toner'

Uriage 'Zymos Toner'

The start of daily moisturizing care

Uriage's 'Jemose Toner' delivers more than its name suggests. Not only does it excel at refining skin texture and removing impurities, which are the basics of a toner, but it also provides deep hydration. Although it is a high-moisture toner for dry skin, it is light enough for oily skin types to use without difficulty. If you need a beast-sized toner that the whole family with different skin types can share, the answer is Uriage's 'Jemose Toner' (500ml).

The texture is too sticky to be called water, yet too smooth to be called thick. This is thanks to the hyaluronic acid contained abundantly in 'Jemose Toner'. It contains hyaluronic acid that attracts moisture, helping the skin stay hydrated for a long time without feeling tight. On days when your skin needs a lot of moisture, you can soak a cotton pad with 'Jemose Toner' and use it like a skin pack. It will give dry skin a radiant glow.
