When, Why, and How to Apply P50V Lotion

You have heard it before, and you will listen to (or maybe read) it again: ‘cleansing, toning, and moisturizing are essential for happy, healthy skin.’ these three steps have been essential to skincare routines for decades. While most people do cleanse and moisturize daily, they often skip the toning part. If you want impeccable skin, you shouldn’t be doing it. First, let’s discuss what face toner is and its importance.

What Does Face Toner Do?

Face toner is a water-based product designed to remove any leftover dirt, makeup, and oil that might be left after cleansing. This product is meant to be used before a moisturizer or a serum. It also helps close the pores and brighten your skin over time.

Different Types of Face Toners

Mainly, face toners fall into two categories:

Balancing Toners

Balancing toner is designed to balance the pH while hydrating and soothing your skin and is more suited for dry skin types. They can also be used twice a day.

Astringent Toners

Astringent toner is for people with acne, oily, and combination skin types. Most of them are exfoliating in nature and are made up of exfoliating acids such as AHAs, BHAs, and more. Then gently exfoliate the skin without causing any irritation and sensitivity. However, these aren’t meant to be used twice a day. It is best to use them a couple of times a week. Otherwise, they can disrupt your significant skin barrier and make your skin dehydrated.

What Can Face Toner Do for You?

Well, face toner prepares your skin for all the fantastic serums and creams you will put on top. Based on the ingredients, it balances your skin’s pH levels and brings it back to the acidic state, preventing acne and other skin problems. It is undoubtedly a necessary part of your skincare routine. Most people are concerned about whether it is essential or optional.
