Toners actually have many uses, from moisturizing and soothing skin, balancing pH after cleansing, removing excess oil, and even fighting acne.
Think of toner as an extra step in your cleansing routine to ensure that all dirt and impurities are effectively removed, while ensuring that your skin's pH balance is under control.
The best time to use toner is to apply it immediately after using facial cleanser, whether it is morning or evening. Because some face washes and cleansers can irritate and peel the skin, using a balance toner can help soothe the skin while removing any lingering cleanser residue, dirt and makeup.
How you apply toner is just as important as the product you choose. After cleansing, dip a cotton pad into your toner of choice (or use your fingers for an eco-friendly selection) and apply the recipe to the contours of your face. Depending on how well the cleaning process works, you may need to use more than one cotton pad. When the cotton pad leaves your face and looks clean, you'll know you're done.
