WHY USE A TONER?
Up until recently I NEVER used a toner and never fully understood the importance of a good toner in between cleansing your face and moisturizer. Here is some info I thought may be helpful on why and how to use toner as part of your skin cleansing routine.
WHAT DOES A TONER DO??
A toner is a skin care product that you apply to the face after you cleanse and before you moisturize. Toners can also be classified as fresheners and astringents. Toners are supposed to restore the pH balance of the skin, remove any makeup that was not fully removed, or any soap residue. Toners leave skin feeling very refreshed and clean. There are also toners that claim to help fight the aging process and to help prevent and clear blemishes.
CHOOSING A TONER
If you decide to use a toner, it is important to know just what product is right for you. One of the best things that you can do to find a toner is to experiment with many different brands and formulas to find the toner that is ideal for you.
Ask yourself questions like:
Does the toner make my skin feel too oily or too dry?
Does my skin feel clean and refreshed after I use it?
Does it make my skin feel too tight?
*If your answers were good to all of these questions, then chances are that you have
found a good toner for you.
APPLYING TONER
Not knowing when to apply their toner is one of the most commonly made mistakes. There is just the right time to apply the toner in the skin care process that many people aren’t aware of. You’ll want to cleanse the skin thoroughly and try to get rid of all traces of makeup. Pat face with a towel until skin is completely dry. Then apply a thin layer of toner with a cotton ball or sponge all over the face. Follow immediately with moisturizer.
TONER TIPS
*Find a toner that has very natural ingredients, some toners can have a high amount of chemicals in them.
*Always apply moisturizer after you use toner, otherwise your skin will get very dry and feel tight.
*Toner is supposed to make your skin feel refreshed, if it burns or gets becomes red, you are using the wrong toner.
*Toner is suppose to make your skin feel clean, if your skin feels oily or have residue after use, try to find a new toner

:/ ... let the toner dry!? Apply moisturizer before it dries, otherwise you're defeating the purpose of sealing in the moisture. ;p
