Face toner is basically an in-between skincare step, used after washing your face but before moisturising it. These liquid moisturisers actually enhance the skin's surface, giving it what it needs to look fresher, smoother and hydrated. For combination to oily skin, toners can reduce enlarged pores and excess oil. For normal, dry or sensitive skin, toners can lessen redness and flaking.
Most toners are water-based liquids composed of specific active ingredients, including plant extracts and essential oils, tailored to address a variety of skin types. Mainly, there are hydrating toners, calming and soothing toners, and astringent toners. Some examples of ingredients to look out for are:
. Rosewater for hydration
. Chamomile for soothing skin
. Tea tree oil to fight oil and bacteria
. Aloe vera to calm inflammation and redness
. Plant stem cells for antioxidants and anti-ageing properties
A toner's function is to complete the cleansing of your skin - removing the dust, pollution and impurities or getting rid of excess oil and stubborn dirt or makeup that lingers after washing with a cleanser. Face toners prep the skin for moisturisers and serums. But that's not all they can do. Some additional benefits include:
. Shrinking pores
. Restoring your skin's pH balance
. Adding a layer of protection
. Acting like a moisturiser
. Refreshing skin
. Preventing ingrown hairs - toners containing glycolic acid or other alpha hydroxy acids can help to prevent ingrown hairs, so it also aids in grooming.
Wet a cotton pad with toner, then swipe it over your entire face, neck, and chest. You should use toner after washing your face, and before using serum or moisturiser. (You can also wet your hands with toner and pat it gently on your skin.) Life is made easy with all the new spray-on toners: just spritz, wipe or let it dry and get on with your routine.
