What Does A Toner Do?
Toners are necessary, especially for those who have oily and acne-prone skin. The benefits of a facial toner include
• Facial toners can manage the appearance of your pores: applying toner to your skin can help remove oil which helps in making the appearance of your pores smaller. Because of this, it can even prevent future breakouts
• Toner restores your skin’s natural pH levels: after cleansing our skin, the pH levels can get out of balance because of the cleanser’s alkaline nature. Using a toner can restore skin's natural pH almost instantly
• Toner boosts skin's hydration: certain toners act as humectants which help in binding moisture to the skin, an important addition to your autumn and winter skincare routine.
• Toner can cleanse your skin: it’s your cleanser’s job to do the cleansing, but there will be times that your face wash won’t always be enough. Often toners can easily clean off the remaining dirt and makeup residue that’s left on your skin
• Toner can help with certain skin issues: some toners have anti-ageing properties, active ingredients and acids which allow them to do much more than all of the things listed above, making it an incredibly powerful addition to your skincare routine. The benefit of this is your toner can be changed seasonally to adapt to your ever changing skincare needs.
Your facial toner should be based on what your skin type is and what it needs. There are a lot of different toners out there that are meant for either, dry, normal, acne-prone or sensitive skin.
