You should tone your skin for youthful and rejuvenated feel because due to age and other things like weather, pollution and other harmful things in atmosphere, the face and other body parts starts sagging and start showing wrinkles. Toners are used to clean the oil from the skin. They may cause skin feel tighter because of skin irritation. The skin is freshened by skin toning lotions. They help to increase the blood supply to the skin. Toning the skin helps remove any residual cleanser or make-up that may have been left behind. A toner also helps restore the natural pH level of the skin, leaves your skin clean, clear and ready to be hydrated.

Some Great Tips for Skin Toning

Despite claims to the contrary, fresheners, toners and astringents do not close pores. As a matter of fact, no cosmetic product can alter the actual size of the pores. What really happens afterusing these products is a mild irritation of the skin. This results in swelling of the skin and so the pores appear less prominent. For extra oily skins, use astringent lotion instead of a toner. Toning is important for both men and women as it is the protective step after gentle, but thorough cleansing of skin as it keeps pores clean, skin healthy and breathing and thus more receptive to ultimate in nourishing care that comes with moisturizing.

Rub with potato slices over the face and neck. Wash off 15 minutes later. Use this method for oily skin. Add a moisturizer if you have dry skin.

Moisten a cotton ball with toning lotion and put it on the chin, cheeks, and neck.

Use mineral water with rose water on dry skin. Avoid eyes and upper cheeks when applying.

Toners must be alcohol-free as alcohol dries off skin. You can also make a natural skin toner at home. Tomato juice is a good skin toner. Cucumber toner is a refreshing toner for normal skins.You have to tone your skin for a youthful, rejuvenated feel.

Methods of toning

TONING THE skin is usually done using a skin tonic. There are two types of skin toners available in the market:

* Alcohol based astringents are commercially produced by a number of cosmetic companies

* Herbal skin tonics containing rose, honey or mint, also available in the market.

However, if your skin is extremely dry and shows tendencies for other more severe skin problems, toning could pose a threat. In this case, you may want to skip toning altogether, or at least, until such time as your skin has improved and you feel it’s safe to return it to your dry skin care program.

Alcohol-based astringents are usually recommended for oily skins. If there is a burning sensation, discontinue and switch over to a herbal skin toner.
