Toners
The main rule in choosing the toner is to focus on your skin type, otherwise the product will not fulfill its function in full or partially. Properly chosen toner will significantly potentiate the effectiveness of your day&night creams since their active ingredients will easily penetrate into your skin.
Exfoliators
Toners that are also exfoliators will be useful for problem skin, in which case cell regeneration is slow. It is one of the reasons for clogged pores, black spots and other imperfections. Toners with acids and other active ingredients will allow you to keep the situation under control.
Soothers
These toners address sensitive skin that is easily irritated. In this case, the product which you choose should be gentle, with mild texture, containing soothing ingredients, especially if you live in megapolis and often experience stress and lack of sleep.
How to use a toner properly
It is preferable to use a toner twice a day, after cleansing and before serums and creams. When applying your toner, avoid the area around eyes, unless otherwise expressly indicated in the toner instructions. There are at least two ways of applying the toner, and the choice depends on personal preferences.
How to select an effective face toner?
The face toner as well as skin care products should be chosen according to several factors:
· Skin type — it is to be primary focus, similarly to your day cream. The toner prepares skin for further care. The quality of this preparation determines the efficiency and effectiveness of your day and night cream. If you regularly use a toner that is not suitable for your skin type, the outcome may be opposite; instead of moisturizing — dryness, instead of purity and freshness — oiliness and the sensation of a film on your face.
· Weather and season — depending on the environment your skin can behave differently. Adapt your skin care to the external and internal conditions, listen to your skin: in hot weather it may benefit from a refreshing toner, while in winter — from a moisturizing one.
· Additional effects. All toners finish the cleansing process, but nearly each of them as its individual features and tasks: to sooth, refresh, soften etc. Choose what you need at the moment.
· Fragrance. How to choose a face toner? Smell a toner tester. Enjoying the use is an important part of skin care, and product fragrance may play the crucial role in it.
