6 Reasons To Love Toners
Toners are an often overlooked part of a skincare routine. Many people have a negative view of them-- in the past, toners were often an overly harsh product that caused more harm than good. Our toners are formulated with botanical extracts to balance the skin while gently removing any debris, among many other benefits! We want to share with you why we absolutely love toners and consider them an essential step for your skincare routine.
-
Extra Cleansing: Even after using a cleanser, stubborn residual makeup, oil, or dead skin cells can still remain on your face and cause skin issues such as redness, irritation and acne. Luckily, using a toner after cleansing can help remove all of that, leaving your skin completely clean so that your skin is able to absorb the products that follow and you receive their maximum benefit.

-
Balance Skin pH: Balanced skin is healthy skin-- when products change your skin’s natural pH balance, it can compromise your skin. When your skin’s pH is off it can lead to dryness, dehydration and acne-causing bacteria. (Try our Clarifying Toner or Balancing Toner)
-
Minimize Pore Appearance: Reducing the appearance of pores can make a big difference in helping your skin look smoother and more radiant. Using warm water to wash your face is great for effectively cleansing your face, but afterwards you’ll need toner to minimize pore appearance and help ensure that dirt stays out of your pores too.
-
Soothe Skin: Does your cleanser include exfoliating ingredients, whether chemical of physical? Sometimes exfoliants can leave skin with some redness after they work their magic-- and the perfect fix to that is a toner. Toners include soothing ingredients that help reduce redness so your face is not only smooth and soft but also irritation-free. (Try our Soothing Toner)
-
Help Retain Moisture: Toners contain moisturizing ingredients to help keep your skin hydrated after a cleanse. Toners also help increase absorption, so your skin will be able to soak up more of the goodness from the products you put on after. Moisture is key for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
-
Refresh Your Skin: Toners aren’t just strictly for use right after cleansing-- they can also be used anytime to give your skin a refresh! If you feel like your skin is looking a little bit dry or oily during the day, swiping on some toner can help rebalance your skin and give it that boost of hydration or oil control that you need. (Pro Tip: Keep a few cotton balls saturated with toner in a small baggie so you can wipe away environmental toxins during the day. Excellent for after a workout.)
