Ok lets talk, with the new release of the Good Karma Toning Mist, this brings up a great time to empower you with some knowledge. What's a facial toner? What does it do? And do you need to be using one? I'm hoping that this blog will answer all those questions for you!
Lets start off with the Facts, what's a toner? Facial toner is a skincare product designed to cleanse the skin and shrink the appearance of pores, while restoring your skin to an acceptable PH balance. But do you really need to add this extra step to your skincare routine? Let's dive into the world of facial toners to find out.
Facial toner is applied to the skin after cleansing but before moisturizing. It is formulated to remove any remaining traces of dirt, oil, and makeup, as well as to balance the skin's pH levels. Most toners contain ingredients like witch hazel, glycerin, and antioxidants to hydrate and nourish the skin.
Do I Need Facial Toner?
It can provide several benefits for your skin, aside from what we already mentioned, they also help to prepare the skin to better absorb serums and moisturizers, maximizing their effectiveness.
Additionally, toners can help to balance the skin's pH levels, which is important for maintaining healthy skin. Imbalanced pH levels can lead to issues like dryness, oiliness, and breakouts. Using a toner can help to restore the skin's natural balance, promoting a clear and radiant complexion.
How to Use Facial Toner
To use a facial toner, simply apply a small amount to a cotton pad and gently swipe it across your face and neck. Some toners can also be sprayed on the face. I personally love a good mist because it makes my skin feel refreshed and hydrated. Remember to avoid the delicate eye area. Allow the toner to dry before applying any additional skincare products. For best results, use a toner twice a day, in the morning and evening, as part of your skincare routine.
Remember, not all toners are created equal. It's important to choose a toner that is suited to your skin type and concerns. Whether you have dry, oily, or sensitive skin, there is a toner out there for you.
Toners can be infused with many things so I would check the ingredients list to be sure, also the things near the top of the list are mostly what the product is made up of, so keep an eye on that as well.
