What is a face toner? Do you need it? How should you use it? Read on to have all your toning questions answered and the best face toners in 2021! <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

IMO, face toners are the skincare equivalents of Mark Ruffalo \u2014 great at adding depth to the team, but you sort of forget it\u2019s there and…wait, what role did it play in the whole regime again? You could<\/em> probably live without face toners, but why would you? The whole routine wouldn\u2019t be the same without it. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So this round we\u2019re spotlighting toners, a skincare calefare. Read on to find out the benefits of using a toner, and its essential role in our skincare routine. Grab your cotton pads and let\u2019s dive right in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Designed for quick absorption, face toners have a water-like consistency that helps remove excess dirt, oil, and makeup, shrinks pores and balance out the potential of hydrogen (pH) levels of your skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re wondering why restoring your skin\u2019s pH balance is important, that\u2019s because the ideal pH level of your skin is gauged at 5.5. Unfortunately, many facial cleansers will increase your pH levels. Thus, it\u2019s usually applied after to decrease your skin\u2019s pH level,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients To Look Out For In The Best Toners<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\"Best<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Short answer: It depends on your skin type. There are different types of face toners for different types of concerns<\/a>. Look out for Vitamin E and rosewater for hydration, chamomile for its soothing properties, tea tree oil to combat oil and bacteria, aloe vera for redness or inflammation-prone skin, as well as plant stem cells for antioxidants \u2014 or if you wanna stay forever young<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Face Toners for Dry Skin <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Look out for alcohol-free toners that are full of hydrating ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin and rosewater, to help bring the moisture back and  restore that pH balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where have all the good skin gone and where is all the glow?<\/em> No, you don\u2019t need a hero \u2014 you just need some actives in your toner to give your dull skin a dose of brightening hydration! Think papaya extract, lactic acid and possibly some good ol\u2019 Vitamin C. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
