Brilio.net - Face toner is a facial care product designed to be used after cleansing and before using serum or moisturizer. The main function of toner is to balance the skin's pH which may be disturbed during the cleansing process, as well as remove any remaining dirt or makeup that may be left behind.
Not only that, toner can also help narrow pores and prepare the skin to absorb subsequent skincare products more effectively. In fact, the benefits of face toner vary greatly depending on the active ingredients contained in it.
Among them, toners containing hyaluronic acid or glycerin can provide additional moisture to the skin. Meanwhile, toners with witch hazel or tea tree oil have astringent properties, which help control oil and reduce the appearance of large pores .
Some toners are also enriched with antioxidants or vitamin C which helps brighten the skin and fight free radicals. Although known to be able to moisturize and nourish the face, it turns out that face toner has another function that not many people know.
