Why Use a Toner?
Using a toner will provide many benefits in the long term.
Cleansers do not always remove all the dirt and oils from your face and sometimes they can leave behind a residue. A toner will remove all these remaining impurities and leave your face feeling clean and refreshed.
A normal pH level is essential for protecting the skin from bacteria and pollutants. Some cleansing agents can cause this level to become imbalanced, leading to sensitivity and dryness. A toner will help restore the pH balance.
Understanding the types of toners
There are three main types of toners: bracers, tonics and astringents. Each type is designed specifically to provide varying benefits depending on their main active ingredients.
What exactly is face toner?
Facial toner is basically the in-between skincare step. Its meant to be used after washing your face but before using your serum or moisturizer.
“Historically toners were used as a way to balance the pH of the skin after using an alkaline soap product for cleansing,” says Rebecca Kazin, MD, a dermatologist in Washington, DC. Now, as our cleansers tend to be more pH balanced and gentle, toners have evolved to a skincare category all their own.
Dr. Kazin adds: “The thought process has changed from just a typically astringent product. There are now more types of toners that provide different benefits” As for their alcohol content? Todays toners are typically pretty water-based.
