tell me about toner. I wash my face with an oil based cleanser & moisturize every morning and night but it seems like I should be doing More
so toner kinda has two purposes: it balances your skin since cleansing fucks with it and gets rid of any excess makeup you might have missed when cleaning your skin. i use two different methods to take off my makeup so i very rarely ever use toner at night anymore, but i do use it in the morning to make my skin softer and to make my pores appear smaller since the water is cool. most toner is better suited for skin that’s on the oily side. i use thayer’s rose petal witch hazel w aloe vera toner bc it’s cheap, it last a long time and it has no alcohol in it so it’s not gonna be drying to your face like some anti-acne toners can be. like with any face product it takes a while to see the effects but toner has become a really important part of my skin care routine. in general i don’t like doing a TON to my face bc i’ve gotten to the point where i know what it needs, but you’re safe with at least some sort of face wash, toner, and morning and night moisturizer.
