Never underestimate the importance of the right toner in your skincare routine. Although it can seem unnecessary, toners actually play a very important role. Not only does it help cleanse off residual dirt or impurities, but it also rebalances your skin’s pH level that may be disrupted by your cleanser.
Toners can serve multiple functions such as exfoliation, rehydration or moisture balance, depending on the type of toner used. In fact, using the right toner will definitely help your skin to reap the most benefits from your skincare regimen. Serums and moisturizers will also absorb better if you use them after toning your skin.
