What Is A Facial Toner & Why Do I Need It?
Toners look a little bit different to your cleansers and moisturisers, in the sense that they are filled with clear liquid and are a water-like consistency.
Their job, is to gently refresh your skin without stripping it of its natural moisture. They also work well to hydrate the skin and prepare it for the next skin treatment you apply. Fun fact — toners were originally made to remove soap scum and sticky residue from the face.
Now, toners are reknown for removing traces of dirt, grime and impurities that stay in your pores after you wash your face. Not to mention they restore your skin pH levels and improve overall skin tone. It's no wonder they call it a toner.
