In recent years it has become next to impossible to avoid pollution; therefore, everyone had to inculcate at least some kind of skincare procedures in their routine. Apart from using a face wash after a long hectic day that leaves the skin dry and in need of moisture, there is one more step between the face wash and moisturizer combo and that is a TONER! Toner helps to close the pores which are usually open after a wash. There are more skincare benefits to it.
A toner is usually water-based and it is best to get one that contains green tea or aloe-vera. Choose wisely according to your skin type. It would not strip your skin off the natural moisture but it’s going to give it a freshness that would persist for a long time. If you have oily skin Astringents are a solution. Astringents are toners infused with alcohol which is very helpful for controlling the over-secretion of oil.
Toner helps in removing the last traces of dirt or impurities stuck in your pores after washing your face. It has a major impact on the appearance and tightness of your pores which stops the skin from aging sooner. Toner keeps the skin’s pH balance intact, soothes skin, and improves skin tone!
How to use it?
Take a cotton ball, soak some of your favorite toners and use it right after using the face wash. You can also take some in your palm and pat it onto your skin. This prepares your skin for the rest of the steps like the moisturizer and serum respectively!
