All You Ever Wanted to Know About Toners

Toners are water-based liquids composed of some specific active ingredients like plant extracts and essential oils. Most toners cater to a variety of skin types.  Toners look like water and act like water. It is a fast penetrating liquid that provides the skin with quick hydration and also helps to remove any dead cells from the surface of the skin leading to plump, glowing skin. Toning is an essential step in any healthy skin care regimen. It is just as crucial as cleansing.

A toner is to be used after cleansing and exfoliating the skin.  It should be used right away after a thorough cleansing is done as most molecules penetrate the skin better when it is wet. After toner, one can use serums, eye creams etc.
