Where Does Toner Go In My Skincare Routine?

As a general rule, your skincare routine should begin with the thinnest products and get thicker as you go along. Therefore, you should tone your freshly cleansed skin before using other treatments. You can then follow up with serums, treatments, and moisturisers.

Why Is Toner Important For My Face?

If your facial cleanser has a high ph level, it can throw off the balance of your skin. Toning after cleansing restores this balance to prevent irritation and inflammation. Toning also removes any residue or impurities left behind after cleansing. This additional step prepares your face for the rest of your skincare routine so that other products are better absorbed. Toners with additional ingredients can also provide more benefits. For example, the SkinBase Soothing Toner contains Vitamin B5. This ingredient helps the skin remain hydrated by preventing water loss and retaining moisture. Therefore, the skin stays soft and elastic.

Toner vs Micellar Water?

Though they are similar in appearance and have hydrating effects, toner and micellar water have very different purposes. Micellar water is an oil and water combination that helps cleanse makeup and impurities off the skin. The oil droplets draw out the stubborn dirt and grime for a deep clean. On the other hand, toner is not oil-based and actively works to remove impurities, shrink pores, and maintain ph levels and hydration. If you are using both products in your skincare routine, ensure you use micellar water before toner for the best results.

Toner vs Serum?

The difference between toners and serums is another popular question for those new to skincare. Appearance-wise, serums tend to be thicker than the watery toners and are purchased in smaller quantities. Serums treat specific skincare concerns due to the greater concentration of active ingredients. The active ingredients target and treat concerns such as pigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles. If your skincare aim is to treat or prevent problematic skin, using a serum after toning is a great way to see results. Ensure the products are compatible and the active ingredients included can treat your concerns.

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
