Face toner – what is it?
Toners appeared on store shelves and in our daily skincare routines when it became popular how Asians take care of their skin. It’s a water-based solution enriched with additional nourishing ingredients like vitamins, oils, and natural extracts. It is an extremely valued product and there are different types of face toners:
- moisturizing toners,
- soothing toners,
- cleansing toners,
- astringent toners.
A particular product is dedicated to a specific skin type. Everyone should start using a toner as soon as possible. This is no substitute for any product, but an individual product that should be a staple in our daily beauty care.
Conditioning properties of a face toner
You may not know how a face toner works. As I’m interested in the subject, I’m happy to introduce you to this knowledge and tell you about the properties of this wonderful product.
I’ve seen claims that toner cleanses the face, just like a lotion or a micellar makeup remover. Others claim that toner should be only used by people with sensitive skin, as it has soothing properties. I’ve also heard that we should only use the toner before applying makeup.
These are all myths!
The main task of a face toner is to restore the proper skin pH level. In addition, it cleanses the complexion and soothes irritation, but this is not its main task.
Is it worth using a toner and why?
Of course, it is worth it. And why? I’d like to tell you specifically and list the most important points why you should no longer neglect this product. It is very important because:
1. Restores the correct pH level of the skin
Acidic pH is natural for us and many products, mainly the cleansing ones, have an alkaline pH which disturbs our natural balance. How to restore it? By using a toner, of obviously, which handles this job perfectly. This is its most important task.
2. Soothes irritation and calms the skin
Face toners reduce the unpleasant feeling of tightness and soothe irritated skin, for example, due to acne. It reduces allergic reactions, broken capillaries, and so on. This is a great solution for allergy sufferers and owners of sensitive skin who often experience a burning sensation, itching, or the feeling of tight skin after cleansing. Just wipe the skin with a soothing toner and get rid of the unpleasant feeling.
3. Deeply cleanses the skin
Toners are often used as a part of a multi-step skin cleansing. After thorough makeup removal, washing the face with a face gel, oil, or lotion, and using an exfoliator, applying a toner is the last step of this skincare ritual. It helps to wash away the residue of debris, sebum, and other impurities that are invisible at first glance.
4. Preps the skin for further care
After a thorough cleansing, we reach for a serum, moisturizer, or face mask. Prepping the skin beforehand is an extremely important task. A facial toner helps comes to the rescue, as it normalizes the pH level, soothes irritation, and has soothing properties which help get the skin ready for further nourishing treatments. All this to make your skincare routine more effective.
I hope now you know the importance of using a toner. It is a product that is essential in your daily beauty care. Remember it and your skin will be always properly cleansed, nourished, and full of vitality for longer.
