Facial toner: find out which is best for your skin

Wash, tone and hydrate! These are the essential daily care measures to keep your facial skin clean, beautiful and healthy. However, with the rush of everyday life, many of us don’t follow this rule exactly and leave the tonic aside.

We wash, moisturize and that’s it! Because the vast majority of people don’t even know why they use facial toner, right?

We can say, with certainty, that using toner is essential in your daily skin care routine. Certainly, toners help to regulate the skin’s pH.

As they are normally water-based, facial toners act to deeply cleanse the skin without damaging it.

Above all, facial toners remove residues that soaps cannot remove. This way, the pores are unclogged, considerably reducing the risk of infection, blackheads and pimples.

Furthermore, the product’s function is to prepare the skin to receive the moisturizer. However, there are different skin types and each has its own needs.

Therefore, to avoid making mistakes when choosing a facial toner, you need to know your skin type. Furthermore, know how to identify which assets should make up the product to meet your needs.

What are the types of facial toner

All facial toners work to deeply cleanse the skin. However, there are several types, with different objectives:
