"Hi, my name is Mary Thinnes. I am a skin care expert. Step two in the cleansing procedures for home care is toning the skin. The reason why toners are important is because not only does it get rid of the excess debris and impurities on the skin after you have cleansed it, should there be any that is left over. It also prepares the skin for the next step and helps to actually carry the other products in to the skin that you put on after you have already applied the toner. Toners generally come in spray pumps. I guess I can spray one of them. They generally spray on. However, most people like to put the spray on an actual cotton pad. Which I prefer too because the cotton pad is actually nonabrasive to the skin but it actually helps remove that debris as well that was on there. If you just spray the skin, it seems to just sit there and its not actually removed. With the cleansing pad, if you just wipe it over your whole entire face, it actually gets more of the debris off as well. And be sure and use something that is one of the cotton pads because their nonabrasive to the skin as well. So that being said, you want to definitely use a toner appropriate for your skin types. I am generally speaking, toners that have colloidal silver, if you can find them in the natural skin line, actually is great for all skin types. So, that being said, those are what are appropriate toners for home use and why they are so important."
