No, you should not wash toner off your face.
According to skincare recommendations, toner is designed to be absorbed by the skin to deliver nourishing ingredients. Rinsing it off would negate its intended benefits.
Why You Shouldn't Wash Off Toner
- Absorption of Ingredients: Toners contain beneficial ingredients that need time to be absorbed into the skin. Washing it off prevents this absorption.
- Maximize Benefits: Leaving toner on allows your skin to fully benefit from its hydrating, balancing, and other specific properties.
- Prepares Skin: Toners often prepare the skin for the next steps in your skincare routine, such as serums and moisturizers. Washing it off disrupts this preparation.
How to Use Toner Correctly
- Cleanse: Start with a clean face.
- Apply Toner: Apply toner to a cotton pad or directly to your palms and gently pat it onto your face.
- Let it Absorb: Allow the toner to dry and absorb into your skin. Do not rinse it off.
- Follow with Serum/Moisturizer: Continue with your regular skincare routine.
