Using a toner and an exfoliator on your face has many skincare benefits, and Skin Proud Consultant and Certified Dermatologist Dr Marisa Garshick shares its importance.
Different toners may be used for different skin types, and there are key ingredients to look for in a toner based on skin type.
Dry skin users should look for hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin, while those with oily skin should look for toners that help absorb excess oil and contain ingredients like salicylic acid.
People with sensitive skin should opt for toners containing soothing ingredients like aloe vera, niacinamide or rose water.
For someone with discolouration, a toner to help brighten the skin or exfoliating acids like lactic and glycolic acids works well.
The ingredients that make up the toners may be formulated in different ways, and the daily usage of these depends on the ingredients. Toners may be used 1-2 times daily, while exfoliating toners may be better to use just a few times per week.
The Skin Proud Detox Tonic is blended with a delicate, gentle balance of AHAs to help remove dead skin cells and clarify pores, reducing dullness. It is also enriched with green apple extract for an intense hit of moisture, niacinamide to balance the skin, aloe vera to cool and soothe and hyaluronic acid to plump.
