Using a toner has been popularized by the Korean skincare regimen. There’s a reason why Korean women have the best skin in the world. It’s all in their skincare routine and one thing they insist on is the toner. In fact, it’s a must-have in K-beauty regimens. Toners aren’t a new phenomenon, though. They have been used since time immemorial for their numerous skincare benefits. However, they were frowned upon in the past since they were too harsh on the skin. Modern toners differ from the old one as they are more gentle thus friendlier on the skin. Here are some of the benefits of a toner in your skincare routine.

Balances Skin’s pH

Most of our skin problems are due to external causes. Due to pollutants like makeup, smoke and dust, your skin’s pH level can become unstable resulting in dryness or excess oil production. A toner mimics your natural pH level ranging between 5.0 to 5.5. This ensures that regardless of any pollutants, your skin maintains a healthy pH and doesn’t act up.

Brightens Your Skin

If you suffer from hyperpigmentation, adding a toner to your skincare routine will help curb this problem. Since some toners contain papaya and vitamin extracts which aid in making your skin brighter, they are a natural and safer way to brighten your skin. Additionally, you can use toner to achieve an even skin tone in case of acne scarring or discolouration.

Hydrates Your Skin

After a thorough cleansing, your skin can feel dry. If you don’t moisturize well, this can cause your skin to lose its glow. Many toners contain hydrating ingredients like glycerin that help restore moisture after cleansing. Not only does the toner hydrate your skin but also it soothes your skin in case of any irritation leaving your skin feeling smooth and fresh.

Acts As An Extra Cleanser

Before using a toner, you should wipe off any makeup or dirt from your skin. However, in many cases, you still remain with some makeup residue even after cleansing. Toners ensure that your skin is squeaky clean after cleansing by removing any remaining dirt.  This also prevents excessive cleansing which can strip your skin of its natural oils.

Fights Acne

For decades, toners have been used to fight acne. This is the main reason why people used toners. Oily skin types are more prone to acne breakout, especially during the hot months. In addition, since toners act as a double cleanser, they ensure that your pores are clear to avoid acne breakout. However, you should stay away from any toner that contains alcohol as they can be drying and cause irritation. Beauty: How To Take Care Of Acne Prone Skin

Adds A Layer Of Protection

There are numerous pollutants in the air and water that we use. These pollutants can cause premature ageing, acne breakouts and unhealthy skin. Though there isn’t much we can do about the pollution, toners help remove these pollutants from your pores as well as close them up restricting the penetration of any impurities.
