Facial toner is a liquid skincare product used after cleansing to remove impurities and balance skin pH. It hydrates, soothes, and primes skin so moisturizer can be fully absorbed. Toner ingredients have evolved from harsh astringents to gentle formulas. Toner benefits include cleansing pores, exfoliating, moisturizing, and evening skin tone depending on skin type. Choosing an alcohol-free toner suited to one's skin type is recommended. Toner should be applied to cleansed skin with cotton before moisturizer. DIY toners can be made from ingredients like aloe vera, cucumber, and rice water.
