Toners
What is a toner?
Toners are an essential step in the skincare regimen, designed to refresh and revitalize your skin while preserving its natural moisture. They play a crucial role in removing lingering impurities, including dead skin cells, from the skin's surface. Additionally, toners help to restore the skin's pH levels, promoting a healthy skin barrier. With the wide variety of toners available, their benefits extend beyond basic cleansing.
Depending on their formulation, toners can offer additional advantages such as exfoliation, brightening, hydration, and more, making them a versatile tool in achieving a balanced and radiant complexion.
Benefits of Toner
Restores pH Balance
Toners help to quickly restore the skin's natural pH balance, ensuring a healthy skin barrier and improved skin function.
Hydrates and Moisturizes
By locking in moisture, toners help to hydrate and condition the skin, leaving it feeling soft and supple.
Removes Impurities
Toners are effective in removing oil, makeup, and debris that cleansing may miss, ensuring a thoroughly clean complexion.
Prepares Skin
Applying toner prepares the skin to better absorb the benefits of serums and moisturizers that follow in your skincare routine.
Reduces Appearance of Pores
Regular use of toner can minimize the appearance of pores, giving the skin a smoother, more refined look.
Enhances Skin Tone
Toners can help even out skin tone and texture, promoting a clearer, more radiant complexion.
How to pick the right toners?
Before deep diving into choosing the right toners, you should determine your skin type. We have a skin type test to help you determine your skin type! For oily skin types , toners that contain beta hydroxy acids (BHA), alpha hydroxy acids (AHA), and salicylic acid will work wonders. The chemicals work greatly to exfoliate impurities while salicylic acid controls the oils from exposure. For people with dry skin , alcohol-based toner may not be the best option, and they should always look for a hydrating type of toner. People with sensitive skin may want to look away from toners with salicylic acid, as the chemical may irritate the skin and cause unwanted rash or redness.
How to apply toner correctly?
Toner should be applied every morning and before going to bed, right after cleansing your face , and before applying moisturiser . Ensure your face is thoroughly washed and cleansed to remove the impurities and oil from your face. Then, moisten a cotton ball or pad with a few drops of toner. Gently apply the toner on your face by sweeping it outward, from the center of your face.
Make sure that the toner is thoroughly applied to every part of your face before using a moisturiser.
