12 Of The Best Toners For All Skin Types And Concerns

Facial toners are known to have a number of benefits for the skin.  Helping to balance the pH of the skin is one of the main benefits.  When you wash your face with a cleanser, the pH of your skin can become unbalanced. Toners help to restore the natural PH. A balanced skin pH helps the skin retain moisture and prevents the development of bacteria.

 

Toners also help to remove any remaining traces of dirt, make-up and oil that the cleanser may have missed.  This helps prevent breakouts and keeps skin looking clear.  Toners can also help tighten and refine pores, giving skin a smoother, more even appearance.

 

In addition, some toners contain active ingredients such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid or vitamin C, which can help exfoliate and brighten the skin.  These ingredients stimulate cell turnover, helping to reveal newer, fresher cells and increase collagen production, which can improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

 

Facial toners can be a beneficial addition to a skincare routine and can help maintain healthy and beautiful skin.

 

 

What Are The Types Of Facial Toners?

 

Firming Toners

Hydrating Toners

Exfoliating Toners

Calming Toners

These toners contain ingredients like chamomile, green tea, or lavender that help calm and soothe irritated skin. They are suitable for people with sensitive or reactive skin.

 

PH Balancing Toners

These toners help to restore the skin's natural PH balance after cleansing. They are ideal for all skin types.

 

Cleansing Toners

These toners contain ingredients such as tea tree oil or salicylic acid that help control oil production and prevent acne. They are suitable for oily or acne prone skin.

Apply a toner after cleansing with a gentle cleanser and patting dry.

 

Use A Small Amount Of Toner

Pour a small amount of toner onto a cotton pad or ball and gently brush it over your face. Avoid the eye area.

 

Let The Toner Dry

Give your toner time to absorb into your skin before applying other skincare products.

 

Follow With Moisturizer

Once the toner has dried, apply your favourite moisturiser to seal in the moisture.

 

The frequency of using a facial toner depends on several factors such as skin type, the formulation of the toner, and the skincare concerns that need to be addressed.

 

Regarding the frequency of toner use, it is generally recommended to use a toner twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, after cleansing your face. However, if you have sensitive skin, or if you are using a toner that contains an active ingredient, such as an AHA or BHA, it is recommended that you use it once a day.

 

It is also important to note that some toners have ingredients that are too harsh for daily use. You can read the instructions on the label and follow the recommended usage guidelines. If you are unsure, it is best to consult a dermatologist.

 

How To Use Toner?

 

Step One

Cleanse your face with a mild cleanser and gently pat your skin dry with a towel.

 

Step Two

Pour a small amount of toner onto a cotton pad or the palm of your hand.

 

Step Three

Gently brush the pad over your face, avoiding the eye area. You can also gently pat the toner into your skin with your fingertips.

 

Step Four

Allow the toner to dry completely on your skin before applying other skincare products.

 

Step Five

Next, use a moisturiser to seal in the moisture.

 

In conclusion, toner is an essential part of your skincare routine as it helps to restore your skin's natural pH balance, removes any remaining dirt or impurities, and prepares your skin for other skincare products.
