We all try to keep our skin in its best shape and invest quite a lot of time and amount following daily skincare regime but did you miss on something really important for your skin like Toners. As the name suggest “Toner” is essentially a product which tones and smoothens out the skin. It helps in removing the dirt, oil and grime left by the cleansers while closing up the open pores on the skin. A toner also helps in maintaining the pH balance of the skin. Toners impart a healthy glow while makeup it smooth and supple, it also prepares it for the next step of moisturization. You skin will stay firm and look younger with regular use of toner “Age will just be a number ;)”

Toner is a must have your skin care routine and should be selected based on your skin type. Alcohol-free toners works best for dry and sensitive skin as they are non-irritating and doesn’t strip moisture from the skin. Girls with super-oily skin tend to like alcoholic toners more as it removes excess oil from the skin making skin look clearer and smoother.
