Full of glycolic acids, a facial exfoliating toner is your biggest fighter in pimple scars and hormonal breakouts. Read on to know if you should use a toner.
What do face toners do?
Liquid-essence consistency and packed with powerful ingredients, a face toner follows your cleanse to wipe away any remaining makeup, dirt, oil, and grime. It’s also a gentle way to exfoliate the skin without physical exfoliants that could irritate sensitive skin by using AHAs like glycolic acid.
To balance the exfoliation, my Resurfacing AHA Toner boasts niacinamide and licorice root to give hydration and barrier-boosting TLC to the skin.Â
By gently exfoliating the skin, the dead skin cells are wiped away that leads to clogged pores and uneven skin tone. The acid and niacinamide also promote cell turnover, lightening pimple scars or marks for a brighter, even complexion.
How do I use an exfoliating face toner?
Timing is everything.
After cleansing, saturate a cotton pad and swipe me over the face, neck and decolletage, avoiding the eyes and delicate areas.
Follow with your hydrating serums like my Hyaluronic Acid, then seal the deal with a nourishing moisturiser like my Super Ceramide Night Cream. If you’re about to step into the daylight, apply SPF at the end.
Always do a patch test first.
