When it comes to facial toner, some people believe that it is just an extra, unnecessary step in your skin care routine, while others swear by it and use it daily. So, do toners actually work and are they worth the time and money to use? The simple answer is yes.

What Does Toner Do?
A toner is supposed to give your skin a quick hit of hydration and remove the last bit of dirt or bacteria on the skin. It can also help to close your pores and tighten cell gaps, which can help reduce the appearance of large pores. Toner can also be soothing and calming for your skin, reducing any short-term redness or discomfort.

Benefits
As stated above, toner works to remove any extra dirt or pollution on your skin, which can a multitude of benefits. It can help your skin to look brighter and healthier and can have some long-term benefits such as reduced acne, acne scarring, and wrinkles. Facial toner is also an incredible rejuvenator, and as it helps to reduce the appearance of large pores, it also helps give the skin a tighter and firmer look.

Another benefit of using a toner in your regime is that toners are naturally hydrating, especially ones that include rose water. This is great because it helps your skin absorb your moisturizer and other products that you use after. 

The last benefit we will discuss is the reduction of redness and scarring. A botanically sourced facial toner is the best option for this, as it is the best kind of toner to create a calming sensation for your skin. This can help reduce leftover redness from acne, rosacea, and dry skin.

When Should Toner Be Used?
Now that you know what toner does and all of its benefits, I'm sure you're wondering where you should squeeze it into your routine. A toner should be applied right after cleansing your skin, before you apply your moisturizer. The toner will remove the extra grime after cleansing and will help your skin soak up all the treatments and serums you use later in your routine.
