To apply toner on your face effectively, follow these steps:
- Cleanse your face first : Start with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and makeup.
- Apply toner immediately after cleansing : Toner should be used on slightly damp skin for best absorption.
- Choose your application method :
- Cotton pad or ball : Pour a small amount of toner onto a cotton pad and gently wipe it over your face, neck, and chest in upward strokes to remove any leftover impurities.
- Hands : Pour a few drops into your clean palms, rub them together, then pat or gently press the toner onto your face. This method can reduce product wastage and is good for dry or sensitive skin.
- Spray bottle : Mist toner onto your face with eyes closed, then gently press it into the skin for better absorption.
- DIY mask : Soak cotton pads in toner and apply them to dry areas for extra hydration.
- Pat the toner in : Whether using hands or cotton, patting rather than rubbing helps the toner absorb better and is gentler on the skin.
- Let it absorb : Allow the toner to fully absorb before applying serums, moisturizers, or sunscreen.
- Use toner twice daily : Apply toner both morning and night after cleansing as part of your skincare routine.
These methods help balance your skin’s pH, remove residual impurities, and prepare your skin for subsequent skincare products
