My Skin: Toners and Treatments

Toners and Treatments. Toners are a lotion or wash designed to cleanse the skin and lessen the appearance of pores, also toners help to bring the skin's pH back to normal (pH 5.5) as many cleansers can alter it making the skin slightly more alkaline. #science!

There are three types of toners:

Skin braces or fresheners, which are the mildest types that contain water, a humectant (which is a substance used to keep things moist) and little if any alcohol (0-10%). Skin fresheners are the gentlest to the skin and are most suitable for dry, dehydrated, sensitive or normal skins. A popular example is rose water.
