Three Most Recommended Toners

SET THE TONE. These three facial toners are the best method to clean, moisturize and hydrate your skin

 

While often dismissed as an ineffectual step in most regular skincare routines, the use of toners is actually very important to completely clean, moisturize and hydrate your skin. This may sound similar to the benefits of any regular face wash, but toners actually go deeper and can cleanse impurities that might otherwise stick to your skin. Think of it like an added of layer of protection. Toners are also able to restore the skin’s natural pH balance— which is often disrupted by facial cleansers. It can also tighten pores and deal with ingrown hairs. As most toners are water-based, the best way to apply toner is after you clean your face, preferably right before going to bed. Put a couple of drops on a cotton pad, and gently blot and wipe your face and neck with it.
