what is toner for

Toner is a skincare product that is used to cleanse the skin and shrink the appearance of pores, usually on the face). It is a water-based liquid that 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). Toner is meant 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. It removes any last traces of dirt, grime, and impurities stuck in the pores after washing the face, and it restores the skins pH level, smooths skin by refining rough patches, and improves skin tone. Toner can be used to prime the skin for additional cosmetics and products that come afterward, such as serum and moisturizer. There are different types of toners, including 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).
