Toner


What is Toner?

Pronounced `tōnər. Is a fast-penetrating liquid product that’s applied to your skin to help reduce oil, dead skin cells and improve the overall appearance of your skin through hydration. Toners on the market now address all different types of skin concerns, and are packed with different ingredients to address hydration or inflammation.

What will it do?

Will help shrink pores, restore pH balance, it’s refreshing, brings some hydration back into the skin post cleanse, and actually helps protect your skin from environmental factors. It’s a great first step in your skincare routine to help prep your skin for skincare — basically creating a surface that can absorb product better.

Tip

Toners today are much different than they used to be. When I was a teen, they were filled with alcohol, they were incredibly drying and stung so bad! There are many options out there now, without the burn!

You would want to use your toner after cleansing and/or exfoliating, and apply about a minute after you cleanse when the skin is still a little wet.
