Benefits of Using Facial Toners
Are you using a facial toner in your skin care routine? There is a lot of conflicting information out there when it comes to toners - some say you need it, some say you don’t. While the debate is fueled by preference and personal experience, it’s my professional opinion that adding a toner to your skin care regimen will make a huge difference in your overall skin health. Many other experts agree. If you aren’t using a one yet you should be, there are many benefits of using facial toners after cleansing your skin.
Toning the skin is the extension of cleansing – meaning cleansing is not complete without this essential step. Does your skin need a toner? Absolutely, yes. It’s great for all skin types and should never be drying.
Now before we go on, it’s important to make a distinction between drying astringents and toners because many tend to think that they basically have the same function. Most astringents are way too harsh for the skin because they are mostly alcohol and what they do is kill the bacteria and dry out pores; they should never be applied to your face. If you apply harsh astringents all over your skin, you strip it of natural moisture; which will cause your sebaceous glands to actually produce more oil to moisturize the skin’s surface. Toners, on the other hand, are much gentler and they perform differently.
