The age-old adage of “cleanse-tone-moisturise” has been imbibed in all of us since our teenage years. As cosmetology evolved, so did the skincare products, and our skincare regimen became more elaborate with serums, eye creams, and other topicals for a specific condition and cause. All skincare buffs remain on a quest to unearthing new revelations about the popular, organic skincare products being labeled as a “must” to help simplify our daily skincare. The latest product under scrutiny is our dear old toner. Although the controversy is rife against its usage being a necessity, there is always an exception. Follow along for the insight.
What actually is a toner?
Traditionally, toners were introduced as the following step after a cleanser to clear out any remaining strains of grime and sebum before the moisturizer was applied. This was necessary as the cleansers were not as concentrated for specific skin types until a few decades ago and often left the skin stripped of any moisture. Also, the toners before were totally alcohol-based, which helped open the pores and bring back the skin’s natural pH level. Again, this was a one-size-fits-all kind of an arrangement; hence, it fared well for some, whereas worse for others.
Fortunately, today, we have access to more advanced, alcohol-free, and different formulations to target individual skin types and conditions. Hence, the right toner for your skin does exactly what it’s supposed to do – hydrate the skin after deep cleansing, tones, and preps the skin surface for the next steps. The essence of getting the full benefit of this cult-favorite product is finding the product that works for YOU! Your skin is unique, and so are its needs. Organic skincare products by Royal Skin Care are designed to perform for your skin’s rejuvenation and meet you where you are in your skincare routine.
So, who really needs it?
Now that, my friend, is the right question! The only reason toners have no effect – better or worse, for many is that their skin doesn’t need it, or their cleansing ritual is enough for the skin to clear out. The select few included in this are the dehydrated skin type folks. For others, i.e., sensitive, combination, acne-prone, and especially oily, join us as we embrace this elixir.
Putting the matter finally to rest, everyone should definitely cleanse, tone, moisturize, but purposefully. Choose each product with precise care and comprehension of the ingredients list to ensure this is what your skin needs. When speaking of CTM, what if we told you that there’s a formula that does it all? We swear there is because we formulated it! Royal Natural Skincare’s Botanical Skin Toner packs the goodness of the most powerful humectant; there is – hyaluronic acid, witch hazel, lactic acid, and Vitamin B5 to give you calm, refreshed, and glowing skin that radiates!
