Face toners have come a long way since the old-school dehydrating astringents made to control oily skin. Often referred to as “Water-based or water-alcohol based solutions or mixtures,” toners are now formulas that are alcohol- and astringent-free and can be less drying.
The goal of a toner is to remove any excess residue from cleansing and prep the skin for other skincare products. Toners are traditionally applied on clean, dry skin using fingers, cotton, or a cloth after face cleansing and before other leave-on skincare treatments like serums and moisturizers. Incorporate a toner into your skincare routine if you want additional complexion-purifying or treatment benefits or want to swap out heavier skincare formulas for lighter liquids in warmer months.
TIPS ON HOW TO PICK A TONER :
To shrink pores, look for astringents such as alcohols or witch hazel that tighten skin.
To exfoliate skin, shop ingredients like hydroxy acids that increase cell turnover for glowing results.
For dry or sensitive skin, opt for soothing, moisturizing ingredients and humectants like glycerin or aloe to hydrate without irritation.
