To use toner effectively, follow these steps:
- After cleansing your face, apply toner while your skin is slightly damp.
- You can apply toner by misting it directly onto your face, patting it on with clean hands, or using a cotton pad soaked with toner. If using a cotton pad, swipe it gently upwards and outwards on your face, neck, and chest.
- Use toner after washing your face but before applying serums, moisturizers, or sunscreen.
- Apply toner once or twice daily, ideally morning and night.
- For hydrating toners, pouring the toner into your hands and patting it gently onto the face works well. For exfoliating toners, using a cotton pad is recommended to avoid irritation.
- Allow toner to absorb before continuing with your skincare routine.
This routine helps cleanse the skin further, balance pH, and prepare the skin for better absorption of subsequent products like moisturizers and serums.
