Toning involves using a toner after cleansing to remove residue and balance your skin's pH. Here's how to incorporate toner into your skincare routine:
-
Cleanse your face: Start by washing your face with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, oil, sunscreen, and makeup. This creates a clean base for the toner.
-
Apply toner: There are a couple of ways to apply toner:
- Cotton pad: Saturate a cotton pad with toner and gently sweep it across your face and neck, avoiding the eye area.
- Spray bottle: Some toners come in spray bottles. Close your eyes and lightly mist your face and neck.
-
Allow toner to dry: Let the toner air dry on your skin. This allows it to be fully absorbed.
-
Follow with serum and moisturizer: Once the toner is dry, continue with the rest of your skincare routine, such as applying serums and moisturizer.
