WHAT DOES TONER DO?

This is one of the most common questions I’m asked every day.    

As I tell my patients, one of the main reasons for using toner is to PREP your skin for skincare products

✅ They replenish moisture after cleansing

✅ And remove residual sunscreen or makeup left behind after you wash your face.

✅  Many also have active ingredients 

Some current favorites that I’ve recommended to patients:

👉🏼:  For COMBINATION to DRY SKIN I’ve recommended VINOCLEAN by @caudalie . It’s a little pricey ($30 @sephora ) so...

👉🏼:  I found this dupe for a fraction of the price: @heritagestorenaturals ROSEWATER TONER ($12.99 @ultabeauty ) that I like even a little better than the Vinoclean.

👉🏼:  For VERY DRY or SENSITIVE SKIN I like the HYDRATING MILKY TONER  by @stayitk ($14.97 @walmart ) with SQUALANE (vegan source) to restore your skin’s barrier and OAT KERNEL EXTRACT to calm sensitive skin. 

👉🏼:  For OILY or ACNE-PRONE SKIN try this PORE RELEASE Blackhead Clearing solution by @herocosmetics ($19.99 @target ) with Salicylic Acid, AHA, and PHA (PolyHydroxyAcids).
