Toners

Toners help remove leftover impurities after cleansing, balance skin pH, hydrate, and prepare your skin for serums and moisturisers. They can also soothe irritation and improve overall skin texture.

Yes. While cleansing removes dirt and oil, toners provide hydration, pH balance, and targeted ingredients like antioxidants or soothing agents that cleanse alone can’t deliver.

• Dry skin: hydrating toners with hyaluronic acid or glycerin.
• Oily/acne-prone skin: oil-balancing toners with salicylic acid or niacinamide.
• Sensitive skin: gentle, alcohol-free toners with soothing ingredients like aloe vera or chamomile.

Yes. Toners with salicylic acid, niacinamide, or witch hazel can reduce excess oil, unclog pores, and calm inflammation, helping to prevent future breakouts.

Yes. Most toners can be used once or twice daily, depending on your skin type and formula. Hydrating or soothing toners are gentle enough for daily use, while stronger exfoliating toners should be used less frequently.

No. Toners hydrate and balance the skin but don’t provide the deep moisture and barrier protection that a moisturiser delivers. Always follow with a serum or moisturiser for optimal results.

Both methods work. Cotton pads gently remove residue and exfoliate slightly, while applying with clean hands helps retain more hydration and reduces product waste. Choose the method that suits your preference.
