what is toner

Toner is a skincare product that is typically a water-based lotion or tonic used after cleansing and before moisturizing. It is designed to gently refresh the skin without stripping it of its natural moisture, and it can be infused with skin-soothing ingredients like eucalyptus, peppermint, and aloe. Toners can be applied to the skin in different ways, such as on a cotton round or ball, spraying onto the face, or by applying a tonic gauze facial mask. Some toners may cause some irritation to the skin upon their initial use, but they are generally gentle to the skin and wont irritate sensitive skin or cause excessive dryness. Toners can also help to cleanse the skin and shrink the appearance of pores, moisturize, protect, and refresh the skin. There are different types of toners, such as skin bracers or fresheners, which are the mildest form of toners and contain water and a humectant such as glycerine, and little if any alcohol.
