If you're not sure what exactly skin toner does or how to
choose the right one, then this article is for you. First, you should know that
the term "toner" is often loosely used. You might have shied away
from toner in the past because you've heard of it drying out skin in some cases
and moisturizing it in others. The confusion can be attributed to the fact that
the toner label has been applied to a few different kinds of products.
Toners are meant to be used after cleansing. They once were
recommended as a way to restore skin's pH balance after using a bar soap or bar
cleanser because those types of cleansers raise the skin's natural pH to a
level that isn't good for your skin.
However, with today's gentle, water-soluble cleansers, the
skin's pH doesn't change appreciably, and the fact that skin's pH recovers just
fine on its own made the need for toners to adjust skin's pH fade away.
What we now know is that after cleansing, what your skin
needs is a range of ingredients that restore and repair its surface. Skin can
never get too much of these important ingredients, which include antioxidants
and skin-repairing substances such as glycerin, fatty acids, and ceramides. The
right toner can give your skin a healthy dose of what it needs to look younger,
fresher, and smoother, right after cleansing and throughout the day.
