๐ง The Truth About Toners
Do You Really Need One?
Toners have come a long way from the harsh, alcohol-based formulas of the past. But do they still deserve a spot in your skincare routine? Let’s break down the myths, the benefits, and how to choose the right one — the SOUFJAN way.
๐งช What Is a Toner?
A toner is a lightweight liquid applied after cleansing. It helps balance your skin’s pH, remove leftover residue, and prep your skin for serums and moisturizers.
❌ Myth: Toners Are Harsh
Modern toners are gentle, hydrating, and packed with soothing ingredients like rose water, aloe vera, and green tea. Alcohol-based formulas are no longer the norm.
๐ฟ Who Should Use a Toner?
- Dry skin: Look for hydrating toners with hyaluronic acid or glycerin.
- Oily skin: Try clarifying toners with witch hazel or niacinamide.
- Sensitive skin: Choose calming formulas with chamomile or calendula.
๐งด How to Apply
Use a cotton pad or your hands to gently pat toner onto clean skin. Let it absorb before layering your next product.
๐ธ Final Glow Tip
Toners aren’t essential for everyone — but the right one can elevate your routine and your glow. Listen to your skin, and choose what feels good.
