Why and how you should be integrating toner into your skincare routine

In this day and age, researching a skincare routine that works for you can be quite a daunting task. There is so much information out there, it can be overwhelming and confusing figuring out where to start.

That’s why we were only too delighted to hear from skincare specialists, SKINICIAN, who have provided us with their simple guide digging into the truth about toner, once and for all.

Originally, toners were traditionally used to remove excess oil from the skin and were especially useful for people who had acne. Typically the products contained high concentrations of alcohol and therefore were drying.

However, modern toners are often gentler and more adaptable to skin's individual needs. Many toners of today skip the alcohol and combine advanced anti-aging ingredients with gentle, natural ingredients and botanicals that purify and balance the skin, provide hydration, treat, and soothe. 

After cleansing and before serums, a toner is a great way to give skin an extra dose of active ingredients.

The newer generation of toners are created to nourish and replenish the skin after cleansing and act as a primer for the rest of your skincare products.
