Basic skincare usually includes cleansing and moisturizing. Toning, which is considered the second step, is commonly skipped as most people deem it unnecessary with no additional skin benefits. Others, meanwhile, are clueless about what it can do or just don’t know how to choose the best formula for their skin.
If you haven’t included toner in your daily routine, you could be missing out on some of its skincare benefits. Continue reading as we explore what toners do and why you should think twice about skipping this step.
Before, toners were specifically used to get rid of excess oil/sebum and were ideal for those with acne-prone skin. Many also avoid such products due to their high concentration of alcohol and drying effect on the skin. Today’s formulas, however, are different. They can still remove oil and dirt, but can also nourish and replenish the skin.
Basically, toning is used to remove leftover dirt and debris your cleanser might have left behind. It can also tighten your pores and balance your skin’s pH after cleansing. Most formulas today also have the added benefit of helping skincare products penetrate deeper into the skin, which therefore improves their efficacy.
It is mostly because of what toners can do. Apart from going the extra mile in cleansing your skin and pores, it can also pave the way to achieving clear and healthy skin. Below are the reasons you should include toner in your daily skincare routine.
Every skin type can benefit from using toner. It is, of course, important to find a formula that is right for your skin type. If you, for instance, have oily or problematic skin, we recommend Dr. Sylvia’s Refreshing Toner with Herbal Astringents. It has pore-reducing benefits and reduces oil and dirt buildup.
Our Refreshing Toner is also professionally formulated with a blend of astringent Herbal Extracts, along with the well-known Witch-Hazel Extract. This makes the formula ideal and effective for most skin types, especially oily and problematic skin. It can also balance the skin’s pH levels, as well as tighten and protect the skin.
