Advantages of Using Toner in your Daily Skin Care Routine

A basic skincare routine follows the order of cleansing, treat, moisturize and protect. So where does toner fit? For some, a toner is viewed as part of the ‘cleansing’ step because it helps remove traces of dirt and makeup that the facial cleanser may have left behind.

But a quick perusal of your favorite beauty retailer will reveal that toners, today, do more than just remove excess grime. In fact, many alcohol free toner come into the category of ‘treat’, ‘moisturize’ and ‘protect’ because they contain ingredients that address common skincare issues, are formulated with humectants that bind moisturize to the skin, and assist in decreasing the penetration of environmental impurities into the skin.

Why do you need a toner?

While toner can benefit the skin in so many ways, the toner can be applied after cleansing. While it’s debatable as to whether or not toner is an important step after cleansing, we do know that there are some definite benefits of incorporating a toner and paraben free face serum into the skincare routine.

Oily and acne-prone skin can benefit from Jasmine Face Oil and the Ph balancing effects of toner. Usually, our skin is naturally acidic and depending on what face wash you use, the pH balance can get a bit out of whack after cleansing. In case if your skin stays unbalanced it can go into overdrive and produce excess oil, which can lead to a serious breakout. The right face toner can help return skin to a healthy pH level.

Why pH levels are important?

In scientific terms, your potential of hydrogen (pH) balance is the ratio of positively-charged ions to negatively charged ions in your body. Lower pH levels in the body mean it’s more acidic and higher pH levels mean more alkaline.

Many of the skin professionals show that your pH levels can affect your overall health, skin, digestive system, bone loss and muscle function, as well as the risk for disease also increase.

If your skin’s pH level goes above 6.5, the acid mantle gets compromised and your skin becomes more vulnerable to bacteria and infections. Toners restore your skin’s pH balance after cleansing so it’s better protected.

Alcohol free toner restores your pH balance after cleansing your face so it’s better protected.
