Rethinking Toner: Why This Step Still Matters
Toner has a bad reputation from its harsh, alcohol-heavy past — but modern formulas serve a genuinely useful purpose. After cleansing, skin's pH is temporarily disrupted; a well-formulated toner rebalances it and delivers a first layer of hydration that primes skin for serums and moisturizers. The key is technique: pat it into damp skin right after cleansing, and don't wait for it to fully dry before your next step. It's rarely the star of a routine, but it's often the reason everything else works as well as it does.
