Often times when I am finished with my clients in the treatment room, they ask for skincare recommendations. Most of them will purchase a cleanser, serum and moisturizer, which are great! But there one skincare essential that they under look.

Toners!

What they say: "I don't think I need a toner," "It looks like water," "I am lazy," "I don't think it does anything," "toners are drying."

There are several purposes of a toner and everyone should use one according to their skin type and concerns. A toner will balance the pH of the skin, hydrate, prepares your skin to absorb the other layers of skincare products, and wipes away leftover impurities such as makeup residue.
