How to Apply Facial Toner

Before applying facial toner. The previous step to applying toner on your skin is to make sure you clean your skin and make sure it's free of impurities. To prep your skin adequately, make sure you use a cleansing milk or cream cleanser to remove all make up and dirt from the face perfectly.

Choose the right toner for your skin. Once we have clean skin, it is time to apply the facial toner. But what is facial toner? It is a liquid which is used to get rid of the impurities that may have built up in your pores and that could not be removed with the makeup remover. However, there are different types of toner depending on your skin type. Let's take a closer look at all the types of toner there are so you can choose the one that suits your skin the most.

Toner for dry skin

There are moisturizing and nourishing facial toners which have a thicker texture. These usually come in the form of creams, though they can also have an essential oil base that will nourish your pores from within. Common ingredients found in this type of lotion are, pomegranate essential oil, rose water or aloe vera.

Toner for oily skin

Many toners come in spray format, such as thermal water, which is ideal for people with oily or acne-prone skin, as it doesn't increase the oiliness of your complexion. This is why you should search for alcohol based toners that also have ingredients such as tea tree oil or lemon in them, as these ingredients have an astringent effect on skin.

Common ingredients used in this type of toner include cucumber, honey and other products that will help improve the vitality of your skin. Products such as Micellar water act as a 3 in 1 product that is perfect for mixed skin types. Not only do they serve as a skin toner, they are also a makeup cleanser and are also appropriate for sensitive skin.

Apply the facial toner. Now that you have chosen the perfect product for your skin, it's time to use it on your face. Let's take a look at how to use the product in your chosen format.

Apply cream toner

It may be difficult to apply cream based toner with a cotton pad. In this case, you can wash your hands so they are very clean and apply the tonic directly with the fingertips, giving little taps on the face.

Apply oil toner

The best way to apply it is using a cotton pad. Just dampen the cotton with a few drops of toner and gently wipe the face with small strokes. With this, the skin will end up completely clean, be fresher, smoother and ready for subsequent treatments. You will notice the impurities on the cotton swab that your facial cleanser left behind.

Apply spray toner

in this case we can apply either by spraying a light mist of the product on the face, always maintaining a reasonable distance, or by use of a cotton pad.

After applying your toner. When you have finished applying the product you only have to apply a moisturizer that is suitable to your skin type and you're ready! Remember that there are different toners and, just as with facial cream, you should choose the one that suits the needs of your skin to prevent damage. And especially if you have very sensitive and delicate skin, discard lotions that contain alcohol.
