What is a Toner?
• Toner is fast penetrating liquid that delivers skin a quick hit of hydration and help remove some of the surface dead skin cells depending on the type you are using.
• Toners also maintain the pH of your skin.It brings your skin back to its natural acidic state and help your skin absorb Skincare products.
• Your skin is like a dried-up sponge. If you put thick cream on a dry sponge, it won't accept it, but if you wet the sponge the cream sinks in more easily.
How to use toner?
• You should use toner after washing your face, and before using serum or moisturizer.
•If you want to go green and skip the cotton pad, you can also put a few drops of toner into the palms of your hands and then press them into your face.
Are Toners necessary?
• The Answer to this is No, if you are using a pH balancing cleanser and applying your moisturiser on slightly damp skin.
• Yes, if you are using an exfoliating toner or you just want to add up an extra step in your skincare game.
• More often than not it's just a personal preference and not a necessity.
• If your cleanser leaves any residue post cleansing, its not a good cleanser. Replace it with something that can do the job well. Since toners are in no way used for cleansing your skin after using a face cleanser.
Which kind should I use?
Just like moisturisers, you should select toners based on your particular skin need.
• If you have open pores- look for a toner with AHAS like glycolic acid to remove dead cells that accumulate around pores making them prominent.
•Sensitive skin- look for skin calming botanical extracts. One which provide relief and deep hydration.
• Acne prone/oily skin- salicylic acid based
• Dull skin- Toners with natural exfoliants like papaya extracts and lactic acid are great for brightening skin.
• Dry/Mature skin- Toners with anti-oxidants and hydrating ingredients like glycerin, hyaluronic acid, Rose water..
