Choose the right toner for your skin
There are many different types of toners on the market, some are designed to cleanse and control oil, while others provide moisturization for the skin. If you have oily skin, choose toners that contain ingredients for cleansing and oil control. If you have dry skin, opt for toners with moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or glycerin. Sensitive skin types should choose toners with simple ingredients that are alcohol-free.

Choosing the right toner can help hydrate the skin and prevent irritation.
Toners with ingredients like salicylic acid and AHA are effective in removing dead skin cells, cleansing the pores, and controlling oil production, which helps treat acne. However, using toners with acid can dry out the skin, especially during the fall and winter seasons. Therefore, in addition to using acid toners, it’s important to have a moisturizing toner to soothe the skin. You can use a moisturizing toner at any time, but acid toners should be used with the appropriate frequency to avoid skin irritation.
Use toner in the correct order
Toner should be used after cleansing, before applying serums and moisturizers. After washing your face and patting it dry, apply toner evenly to moisturize the skin and balance its pH level. Well-hydrated skin will also absorb nutrients from serums and moisturizers better.
If you feel your skin is dry and in need of immediate hydration but don’t have a moisturizing mask available, you can pour toner onto a thin cotton pad (or dry sheet mask used as a lotion mask) and apply it to your face.

After toner, you can apply serums and moisturizers. When it comes to skincare, remember the rule of using lighter consistency products before thicker ones. This means that watery and lightweight products should be used first, while thicker products should be used later.
Use the right amount of toner
Using too much toner can be wasteful and may not necessarily produce better results. On the other hand, using too little product may not provide sufficient hydration for the skin. You need a small amount of toner to dampen a cotton pad and apply it to your entire face, or you can pour a few drops directly onto your hands and pat it onto your face. When using toner, gently pat or dab it onto the skin, avoid rubbing or applying too much pressure that can potentially damage the skin.
