What is toner?
Toner, also known as toner, firming toner and essence toner, is a type of skin care product mainly used in the skin care step after cleansing. Its main role is to help clean the skin one step closer, restore the pH value of the skin surface, and regulate the stratum corneum, so that the skin can better absorb the nutrients in the follow-up skin care products. Toner usually contains a variety of ingredients, such as alcohol, salicylic acid, fruit acid, etc. These ingredients can help remove the aging cutin on the surface of the skin, promote the metabolism of the skin, and also have a certain astringent effect, which can narrow the pores and make the skin look more delicate.

1. Promote absorption
Toner can help open the channel of the skin, so that the subsequent use of serum, cream and other skin care products can be better absorbed by the skin, improve the skin care effect.
2. Adjust skin pH
Healthy skin surfaces should be slightly acidic, and cleansers can disrupt this balance. Toner can help regulate the pH of the skin and restore it to a healthy state.
3. Close your pores
Some toners, which contain ingredients such as menthol, can help to shrink pores, reduce the problem of enlarged pores, and make the skin look more delicate.
4. Soften the exfoliation
Some toners contain light exfoliating ingredients such as hydroxy acid and salicylic acid, which can gently remove aging keratinocytes, promote skin metabolism, and make skin smoother and more delicate. However, it should be noted that such products should be used with caution to avoid excessive exfoliation leading to skin sensitivity.
