Importance of Using a Toner


A toner is an important part of a skin care regimen that many people do not think about. Toner should be used as the second step in the regimen immediately following a face wash. The face wash cleans the skin, eliminating oil and debris and simultaneously opens the pores. The toner serves to close the pores and decrease the pH of the skin, allowing for better penetration and absorption of the subsequent products such as exfoliants, retinoids, vitamins, moisturizers, bleaching agents, and more. Use of a toner twice a day will increase the efficacy of the products in the regimen, leading to brighter, healthier skin.
