Toner is designed to restore firmness to the skin, and is used after cleansing and before moisturizing. Toner does not need to be washed off. It is designed to restore the pH balance back to skin, as well as help minimize wrinkles. Toner also can treat acne before it emerges and help to unclog pores. Toner eliminates oil and shine and refreshes the skin. Usually after using toner, your face will look tighter and feel softer. Toner is applied to the face using a clean towel or cotton ball. Some toners are sold in a spray bottle, and all you have to do is spray your face.
While toner is not a necessity when it comes to daily skin care, many people like the way it makes their skin look and feel. Others may not notice a difference. The important thing to remember is that using toner is personal choice. If you don't plan to use it, then get a powerful face wash so you can thoroughly wash your face and remove all of the dirt and grime. - Mild toners contain humectant, which helps keep moisture in the skin. These toners are the best for dry, sensitive skin. There are many different kinds of toners on the market today. Finding the best one depends on what skin type you are treating. There are also skin tonics and astringents. Skin tonics contain a small amount of alcohol, while skin astringents have much more alcohol. Astringents are the most powerful toners, and are usually recommended for oily skin. Because astringents contain so much alcohol, which can dry out your skin, it is best to just spot treat your face so it doesn't get dried out. When using a toner, start by using it three times a day. Then, if you notice redness or drying, cut back to once a day or even every other day to give your skin a break.
