Note: when making use of a toner always try to get toners with antioxidants like green tea, Vitamin C or Vitamin E.
Stay away from toners that contain alcohol, using toners with alcohol can cause hydration of the skin and production of wrinkles.
How do I use the toner
It’s so simple, most toners are in the liquid state of matter. Get a cotton wool and damp with the toner which you will use to rub your face. Don’t rinse the toner off after applying to your skin. Likewise, if you have your toner in a spray bottle then you can just spray on the face and allow the face absorb the toner.
