Benefits of Toner in Your Skin-Care Routine

First of all toner is not used to remove the excess cleanser that may be left on your skin. Cleanser should be thoroughly removed previous to any toner application.
I'm sure many of us over the years have soaked a cotton wool ball with the most astringent toner and applied it to our face, only to see it dry out and sting our skin.
These days toner are the complete opposite they are used to compliment any skin routine you may be using. The most important use of a toner is to bring your skin back to its natural PH. When your skin is cleansed if a toner is not used it can take up to about 10 hours, this can lead to an impaired barrier function and lead onto breakouts, dehydration etc.
My favourite way of applying toner is with a spritz. By doing this you will not be removing any serums etc that have been applied underneath. spritz toners can be used during the day for that extra rehydration and have been great for combatting the effects of maskne.

Which toner should i use?
When deciding on a toner you should choose in a similar way as you would with your cleanser or moisturiser. Your Toner should be aimed at  skin concerns whether you have oily skin, dehydration, fine lines and wrinkles, hyper-pigmentation etc.
