Some people think toner is an optional part of their skincare routine, especially in winter – but it’s not. Facial toners hydrate skin and remove any last traces of dirt and grime that may be stuck in your pores. It looks and acts like water – but it is so much more. Now is the time to understand the importance of toner.

Hydration

In winter cold air takes the moisture from your skin. Toner provides an extra layer of hydration. This fast-penetrating liquid delivers a quick hit of hydration and strengthens the skin’s barrier. This in turn helps to close pores and minimise their appearance.

Moisture Absorption

Toner before moisturiser helps with the absorption of moisturisers. Toners should be applied immediately after cleansing and allowed to absorb for at least 30 seconds. This helps to maximise the effects of your other skin-care products.

Balance pH Levels

If your cleanser is high-alkaline, cleansing skin can knock pH levels out of balance. Toner normalises pH levels in the skin and help to bring skin back to its natural state. Toner is especially helpful if you have a particular skin concern to target.

Soothes and Tightens

Facial toner can help you get a winter glow by keeping your face squeaky clean. They can help to remove any leftover dead skin cells so your skin is brighter and ready for the next step in your skincare regime. Toners are also a great anti-ageing product – they help to give skin a tighter, firmer look.

Protects 

Toner is formulated to help your skin stay undamaged from environmental factors. Always slather on the moisturiser after – your skin will absorb it in no time! Don’t forget the all-important SPF.

The importance of toner cannot be ignored. If smoothing your skin’s texture and improving elasticity are your priorities buy SkinBase Toner now.
