Toners are a must-have step in any skincare routine! After cleansing, toners help to balance your skin’s pH, sweep away any lingering impurities, and prep your face to absorb the rest of your products. Just apply with a cotton pad or pat it directly on clean, dry skin.
Using a toner daily can give you a smoother, more refreshed look and keep breakouts at bay. Plus, many toners now come packed with hydrating and soothing ingredients, so they’re not just for oily skin—they’re for everyone! Add one to your routine and watch your skin glow.
