A face toner is a skincare product that is applied to the face after cleansing, and before moisturizing. Toners are often used to help remove any remaining traces of makeup or impurities, as well as to restore the skin’s natural pH balance. They can also help to hydrate, soothe, and brighten the skin. Some toners also contain additional ingredients like antioxidants, exfoliants, or anti-inflammatory agents to help target specific skin concerns. Toners are typically applied using a cotton pad or sprayed directly onto the face, and can be used morning and night as part of a regular skincare routine.
What Does Toner Do for Skin?
- Thorough Cleanse – Toners can help to remove any remaining traces of dirt, oil, and makeup that may be left on the skin after cleansing. When you cleanse your face, it’s possible that not all impurities are removed, especially if you’re using a basic cleanser or one that doesn’t effectively remove makeup. A toner can help to remove any remaining impurities, leaving the skin feeling refreshed and clean. Additionally, toners can help to restore the skin’s natural pH balance which can be disrupted during the cleansing process, this helps to prevent dryness, irritation, and acne.
- Minimize flaws & other concerns – Toners can help to minimize and prevent breakouts by removing impurities, excess oil, and bacteria from the skin. It’s important to choose a toner that is formulated for oily or acne-prone skin, to ensure that it contains the right ingredients to effectively treat and prevent breakouts. It’s also important to avoid toners with alcohol or other harsh ingredients, as they can dry out the skin and cause irritation, which can lead to further breakouts.
It’s also important to maintain a good skincare routine, keeping your skin clean and moisturized and avoiding touching your face with dirty hands, as well as avoiding using too many skincare products that might clog your pores, leading to breakouts.
- Balance the pH – Toners can help to rebalance the skin’s pH levels. The pH level of the skin refers to its acidity or alkalinity, and it’s important for the skin to maintain a slightly acidic pH in order to stay healthy and function properly. Cleansers, soaps, and other skincare products can disrupt the skin’s natural pH balance, making it more alkaline. This can lead to dryness, irritation, and an increased risk of infection.
It’s important to choose a toner that is formulated for your skin type, as different skin types have different pH levels. For example, oily skin is typically more alkaline, while dry skin is more acidic. A toner that is formulated for oily skin will typically have a more acidic pH than one that is formulated for dry skin.
- Prepare the skin – Toners can help to enhance the efficacy of other skincare products. When applied after cleansing and before moisturizing, toners help to prepare the skin for the absorption of other skincare products by removing impurities, restoring the skin’s natural pH balance, and providing hydration. This allows other skincare products, such as serums and moisturizers, to be more easily absorbed and to work more effectively.

Other Skincare Tips for Toner Usage
Here are some other skincare tips for using toner in your routine:
- Apply toner to clean skin: To get the most benefits from your toner, apply it to clean skin after cleansing and before moisturizing. This will help to remove any remaining impurities and restore the skin’s natural pH balance.
- Use a cotton pad or spray bottle: Toners can be applied using a cotton pad or sprayed directly onto the face. Using a cotton pad will help to remove any impurities and exfoliate the skin, while spraying the toner directly onto the face will provide a refreshing, hydrating boost.
- Don’t overdo it: While toners are an important part of any skincare routine, it’s important not to overdo it. Applying too much toner can imbalance the skin, so use only a small amount and adjust as needed.
- Layer your skincare products: To get the most benefits from your skincare products, layer them in the correct order. Start with a cleanser, then apply toner, followed by serum, moisturizer and sunscreen.
- Pay attention to the ingredients: Pay attention to the ingredients in your toner, and choose one that is formulated for your skin type and concerns. Avoid toners with alcohol or other harsh ingredients, as they can dry out the skin and cause irritation.
- Be consistent: To see the best results, use your toner as part of a consistent skincare routine. Use it twice a day, morning and night.
