A toner is a liquid skincare product designed to refresh, balance, and prep the skin after cleansing. It helps remove any remaining dirt, oil, or makeup while restoring the skin's natural pH level.

Benefits of Using a Toner:

Removes leftover impurities – Cleanses deep into the pores after washing your face.
Balances pH levels – Helps maintain the skin’s natural acidity for a healthy barrier.
Hydrates and soothes – Some toners contain ingredients like rose water, aloe vera, or hyaluronic acid to nourish the skin.
Minimizes pores – Helps refine pores and reduce excess oil, especially for oily and acne-prone skin.
Enhances absorption – Prepares the skin for better absorption of serums and moisturizers.

Types of Toners & Their Uses:

💧 Hydrating Toners – Contain humectants like hyaluronic acid to boost moisture (ideal for dry/sensitive skin).
🌿 Calming Toners – Include ingredients like chamomile and aloe to soothe irritation (great for sensitive or red skin).
🔬 Exfoliating Toners – Have AHA, BHA, or PHA to remove dead skin cells and improve texture (perfect for acne-prone or dull skin).
🚫 Oil-Control Toners – Use witch hazel, niacinamide, or tea tree oil to reduce excess shine (best for oily/combination skin).

How to Use a Toner:

  1. Cleanse your face thoroughly.
  2. Apply a few drops of toner onto a cotton pad or your hands.
  3. Gently swipe or pat it across your face (avoiding the eye area).
  4. Follow with serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen (AM routine).

A toner is a key step to keeping skin refreshed, hydrated, and ready to absorb skincare products!
