AN ESSENTIAL PRODUCT FOR YOUR SKIN THAT IS OFTEN OVERLOOKED OR MISUSED
A toner is a skincare step applied after cleansing and has a water-like consistency. A new generation of toners has recently emerged, and they are more versatile than ever. They can be used to soothe, hydrate, brighten, balance, and purify… making them true “skin prep” products for the routine that follows. Whatever your skin concern (acne, dehydration, sensitivity…), a toner can help target the issue.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF ADDING A TONER TO YOUR ROUTINE:
- They remove all traces of makeup, impurities, and excess sebum.
- They help balance the skin’s pH after cleansing, which is essential for healthy skin.
- They improve the effectiveness of the products applied afterward by helping active ingredients penetrate deeper thanks to their low molecular weight.
HOW TO USE
On cleansed skin, apply the toner and gently press your skin with the palms of your hands to help it absorb rather than evaporate. Then apply your serum while the skin is still damp so it penetrates more deeply and enhances its benefits. If your skin is very dehydrated, take inspiration from Korean skincare routines and apply up to 7 layers of toner one after the other.
