What is the best facial toner for my skin, my preferences, and my needs?
Facial toner is a beloved ingredient in Spain and is also an important step in the skincare routine, appearing between cleansing and serum or moisturizer. Despite its discreet appearance, it can do wonders for you.
And we want to tell you this because, even if you sometimes doubt it, your skin is happy to be touched by a toner.
When do you need a facial toner?
This is another common question: toner awakens more than one. It's very simple: it calms the skin, softens pores, balances pH, or adds extra hydration. And sometimes, simply when you need to refresh your skin.
Advantages of facial toners:
There are many:
- A toner brings order to the skin.
- They allow for increased and improved cleaning.
- In addition, the treatment products you apply afterwards will penetrate better.
- It's also like a breath of fresh air for the skin. And if it has a pleasant scent, it's pure bliss.
How to choose the best facial toner according to your needs?
- First, listen to your skin.
- If your skin needs hydration, look for a suitable toner, such as Huxley's Extract it Toner.
- If it's irritated, you might be able to treat it with Face Vinegar from Gallinée.
- Not all toners are suitable for all skin types, and if you choose the right one for yours, you'll see how such a simple (and stimulating) gesture transforms it.
