Toning is a part of  cleansing process which removes

any remaining bits of dirt,oil left behind after cleansing.

The purpose of toner is to cleanse & refine pores giving u an 

even skin tone.

Why is toner important?

The alkaline nature of soap & some cleansers disturbes the 

pH balance of skin while a toner works to maintain & restore

the pH balance of our skin.

. A toner helps to soothe,nourish & hydrate the skin after 

cleansing.

.A good toner can help close pores and tighten them after 

cleansing thus reducing the penetration of impurities into our

skin.

.Humectants toners helps to bind moisture to the skin 

                        

                  Toners according to skin type.

.Oily skin people should use a toner with exfoliating 

properties

.Dry & Combination skin people should use a toner with 

hydrating & moisturizing properties

.Sensitive skin should look for ingredients which soothe skin 

& reduce inflammation.

A moisturizer increases moisture level of the outermost layer

(stratum corneum) of our skin prevent it from drying out.

.  moisturizing is an important step in skin care to preventskin

from cracks,dryness & dullness.Moisturizer are complex

mixture of chemical agents often help to hold wate in the 

skin.

. Use a moisturizer having SPF(sun protecting factor) during 

day and a different moisturizer at night to nourish it .

You can apply moisturizer & then sunscreen during day if you

don't have a moisturizer with an spf  but use something richer

at night.

.Humectants attracts moisture & moisturizer help smooth

the skin or to hold the moisture in the skin.

but look for a light weight, oil free moisturizer, 

non comedogenic(don't clog pores).

Dry skin: look for a heavy moisturizer which nourishe the 

skin and that soothes dryness.

Combination skin: This skin type is confusing because of

its showing features of both oily and dry skin. This skin 

type should use a light moisturizer on their cheek area 

and a heavy on their  T - zone.

Sensitive skin :This skin type should  look for an oil free,

paraben free & hypoallergic moisturizer which is light 

weight & is gentle on the skin without irritating it.

After cleansing your face exfoliate it  but you need not to

scrub hard just light scrub for 1 -2 mins  & then apply toner 

& finish it by applying a moisturizer.
