Why You Need a Toner in Your Skincare Routine

Why You Need a Toner in Your Skincare Routine

Toners were traditionally used to remove excess oil from the skin and were especially useful for people who had acne. Typically the products contained high concentrations of alcohol and therefore were drying.  

Modern toners are often gentler and more adaptable to skin's individual needs. Many toners of today skip the alcohol and combine ingredients for ageing skin with gentle, natural ingredients and botanicals that purify and balance the skin, provide hydration, treat, and soothe. After cleansing and before serums, a toner is a great way to give skin an extra dose of active ingredients. 

The newer generation of toners are created to nourish and replenish the skin after cleansing and act as a primer for the rest of your skincare products. 

Benefits of Using a Facial Toner 

  • Balance the pH of the skin post-cleansing.  
  • Improves penetration and efficacy of other products 
  • Refine large poresreducing the risk of impurities finding their way into the skin 
  • Reduce blackheads 
  • Boost hydration 
  • Absorb excess oil 
  • Primes skin for remainder of routine 

Often applied by saturating a cotton pad and gently blotting the skin, many toners are available in spray form, which can help minimise waste and make for convenient, easy application.
