Facial toners are water-based cosmetic products that usually complete the first skin cleansing step in a facial routine, morning and night. Its application is not always essential, but it is highly recommended to soothe the skin or to leave it feeling smoother and cleaner. It helps to refresh, moisturise and balance the skin and it also prepares it for further treatments. This depends on the toner's ingredients and the skin type for which it is intended.
To apply it, simply place it on a reusable cotton pad or directly into your palms and wipe it onto your face with gentle circular movements or by gently dabbing. Toners in spray format are applied as a mist, directly onto facial skin.
To choose the best toner for you, just take into account your skin type (dry, combination, oily, sensitive or with specific needs) and the extra care you want to provide, such as moisturising, soothing, astringent for oily skin, etc.
