Why use a facial toner?
May 6th, 2010 by Kathy
Most of my clients wonder if a toner is worth the time, effort and cost to use in their skincare routine. What, you don’t have a skincare routine? You should keep it simple: cleanser, toner, moisturizer if you have not already established a 2x per day routine.
Toners are used to wipe away the minerals that are in tap water and to bring the skin’s pH back to acidic after washing. Ever notice the build-up of minerals on glass shower doors, faucet handles, etc.? This also builds up on your face and masks your perfect complexion. By wiping off the minerals following cleansing, you allow your skin to shine. Don’t worry about alcohol and drying. Good toners have no drying ingredients. You use the one for your skin type because the toners also contain ingredients to protect or condition your type.
