SKINCARE SERIES: Types of toners.

TONERS:

What is a toner? well, a toner looks like water but it really is not.It is a liquid that gets absorbed by your skin to give it an instant glow and remover impurities, it also removes dead skin. It may contain acids or maybe glycerin, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatories. A toner brings back your face to its acidic nature.

Usually it is used after cleansing. Cleansers usually change the ph level of your skin so toners change it back to what it is supposed to be. 

 

TYPES OF TONERS:
