A good toner is a non-alcohol refresher that helps
remove the residue of all the previous procedures.
It refines the pores and tautens and tones the skin,
making it ready for moisturizing treatment. Aftershave
is basically a toner. However, because most
aftershaves are primarily made of alcohol and perfume, they
damage the skin by disturbing the recovery of the mental
which is destroyed by shaving soap and razor
blade. The alcohol will further dry the skin. Rather
than such abrasive products, try using mild
astringents or essential oil mists. Apply toner with
cotton ball or spray on with a hand pump mister.
Try one of the
following toners, selecting one on the basis of your
skin condition.
