A skin toner is a lightweight step that helps refresh and rebalance the skin after cleansing. It removes any leftover residue while restoring the skin’s natural pH, leaving it feeling clean and comfortable. They should be applied after cleansing the skin.
Modern toners often do more than just prep the skin—they can add a layer of hydration, help refine the look of pores, and soothe the appearance of redness depending on the formula. By lightly hydrating and conditioning the skin, toners also help improve the absorption of serums and moisturizers that follow, making your overall routine more effective.
