tonic definition and meaning

What is "tonic"?

Tonic refers to a liquid solution or sprays designed to invigorate and refresh the skin or hair. It is typically applied after cleansing or as part of a skincare or haircare routine. Tonics often contain ingredients like botanical extracts, vitamins, and antioxidants that help balance the skin's pH, tighten pores, and provide a revitalizing sensation. When used on the hair, tonics can help nourish and hydrate the scalp, promote hair growth, and add shine and manageability. Tonics are valued for their ability to refresh and prep the skin or hair, leaving them feeling rejuvenated and ready for further treatment or styling.

tonic definition and meaning

What is "tonic"?

Tonic is a carbonated beverage that is characterized by its bitter taste and distinctive flavor. It is typically made by combining carbonated water, quinine, and sugar or other sweeteners. Tonic water is often used as a mixer for cocktails, particularly for gin and tonic, and can also be consumed on its own. The quinine in tonic water gives it a slightly bitter taste and a characteristic fluorescent glow under ultraviolet light. Tonic water is a popular alternative to sugary soft drinks and is often consumed as a part of a balanced diet. It is also believed to have health benefits, particularly for treating malaria, although the amount of quinine in commercially available tonic water may not be sufficient for this purpose.
