Toners are an essential part of any skincare routine. Not only do they help restore your skin’s pH balance, they also prepare your skin to better absorb active ingredients from other products, such as serums and moisturizers. Toners can soothe, hydrate, and refresh your skin while removing any residue from dirt and makeup that may be left behind after cleansing.
Benefits of Toners
Using a toner offers several benefits for your skin:
- Restore pH Balance: Toners help restore your skin's natural pH balance, which is important for maintaining a healthy skin barrier.
- Refresh and hydrate: Many toners contain hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or glycerin that give the skin a refreshing boost.
- Removing residue: Toners remove the last traces of dirt, makeup, and oil that weren't completely removed by your cleanser.
- Soothing skin: Toners with soothing ingredients like aloe vera or chamomile help reduce redness and irritation, especially after cleansing or shaving.
- Refining pores: Some toners contain salicylic acid or niacinamide , which can help refine pores and reduce the appearance of blemishes.
Which Toner suits your skin type?
Depending on your skin needs, you can choose the right toner :
- Oily skin: Choose a toner with salicylic acid or tea tree oil to help regulate excess sebum and prevent the appearance of pimples.
- Dry skin: Use a hydrating toner with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin to give your skin extra moisture after cleansing.
- Sensitive skin: Choose a gentle, soothing toner with aloe vera or chamomile to help calm skin without irritation.
- Mature skin: An anti-aging toner with ingredients like vitamin C , retinol or peptides can rejuvenate the skin and help reduce the signs of aging.
- Normal skin: A mild toner without alcohol and with soothing ingredients such as rose water provides a refreshing and balanced skin care.
