Why toner?

 So, what exactly is a toner, and what does it do? A toner is a type of solution, usually liquid, that effectively works to eliminate excess oil and remaining dirt in your pores that your everyday Cleanser may not have washed away. Toners also restore the skin’s natural pH balance2 so that the skin has just the right amount of oil to protect it without causing blockages. As we approach summer, toners can help control all of the dirt and oiliness brought about by the hot weather. By removing oily buildup and residue, toners can help reduce acne and prevent future breakouts. Many people also like toners because they leave the skin feeling fresh and clean and make their pores appear tighter.

When choosing the right toner for your skin, consider the product’s ingredients. Steer clear of toners or astringents that contain alcohol, as they can strip your skin of necessary oils and dry out your skin.

How to apply toner

Use a toner after cleansing as part of your daily skincare routine. Pump or pour a small amount onto a cotton pad and gently apply to your face (tip: use a cotton pad instead of a cotton ball or tissues. Cotton balls and tissues absorb too much toner and can be wasteful). Start by swiping toner across your forehead and nose, also known as your “T-zone,” which usually contains the most oil on your face. Then gently brush on your cheeks and other areas of your face. Because toners also help increase penetration of product ingredients, don’t rinse the toner off; instead, let it air dry. That way, the following product in your skincare regimen gets thoroughly absorbed, and its ingredients get optimally utilized for maximum effectiveness.

If you’re already using a toner as part of your skincare regimen, then you know the difference it makes. However, if you haven’t been a toner-believer, we encourage you to try it—not only will you love how refreshed your skin feels afterward, you might also be amazed at how much residue it clears off your skin, even after a thorough cleansing!
