Skin Care Toners and Acne Treatment
Skin toner is the next step after cleansing. They freshen and tone up the skin, preparing it for make-up. Besides, they renew the acid balance of the skin. Skin toners clear excess oil and dead skin cells, and cool the skin.
One more great thing about skin care toners is that they restore the natural pH balance of the skin that gets broken when we wash the face. The natural process of pH level restoring would take about half an hour, while skin toners make it instantaneous.
When it comes to the choice of a toner, it's necessary to look for one that will fit to your type of skin. But in general, it's better to choose the toner that doesn't contain alcohol, as it won't dry and harm the skin.
Skin toners typically contain different herbs, such as geranium, lemon, honey, ivy, hazel, and others. If you choose a toner with hazel, it's better to use it in combination with a good moisturizer.
The gentlest toners are those containing natural oils. For instance, rose water is perfect for dry and sensitive skin, while hazel and lemongrass are perfect for oily skin. Toners can be applied with cotton wool. If the cotton wool doesn't come out relatively clean, it means that cleansing was not done in a proper way.
Using a toner should not be confused with using a cleanser, and it's better to apply a toner on the clean skin. Then you'll get a better result than in case you would use a toner instead of a cleanser.
Toners leave pleasant refreshing feeling on the skin, and can serve as an extra cleanser for very oily skin. They are indispensable for removing any remains of dirt that might have been left after a cleanser.
