Skin Toner – the Cleanser's Assistant
Skin toners are meant to refresh and tone up the skin after the use of a cleanser. They also remove the remains of dirt that might be left after the cleanser. Toners restore the acid balance of the skin, and clear excess oil from the skin, and cool it. Besides, toners instantly renew the natural pH balance of the skin.
It is important to select the toner that will be suitable for your type of skin. Anyway, toners that don't contain alcohol are gentler, as they don't make the skin dry. Also, the gentlest toners will contain natural oils.
Toners usually include different herbs, for instance, lemon, geranium, honey, hazel, etc. Each of the herbals has some specific characteristics that are wholesome to the skin. However, when using a toner containing hazel, it's better to get a quality moisturizer, as hazel tends to dry the skin.
