What is a facial toner and why should you use it?

Welcome to Happy & Pretty! Today we're talking about an important topic in the skin care routine that is often overlooked: facial toner . Many people have heard of facial toners, but don't know exactly what a toner actually is, what it's good for and how to use it. In this article, we'll answer the most important questions about facial toner and show you why a good toner should be part of every skin care routine.

What is a facial toner?

A toner is a liquid treatment that you apply after cleansing and before moisturizing. Toners are designed to soothe the skin, prepare it for subsequent care steps and restore the natural pH balance. Some toners also contain special active ingredients for skin needs such as blemishes, dry skin or fine wrinkles. The consistency of a toner can vary depending on the type and brand - from water-like to slightly gel-like.

Why should a toner be part of your skincare routine?

After cleansing the face, the skin can often feel a little tight or dry. This is where the toner comes into play: It ensures that the skin becomes smoother and is more receptive to care products. This helps serums and creams to have the best possible effect. A BHA toner, for example, can penetrate deep into the pores thanks to the beta hydroxy acids it contains, remove excess oil and refine the skin's appearance. This makes BHA toner particularly interesting for people with oily or blemished skin.

When do you use a toner?

A toner is ideally used directly after cleansing and before you apply a serum or moisturizer. Simply put some product on a cotton pad or directly on your hands and gently dab it over your face. Use it morning and evening - if used regularly, your skin texture will visibly improve.

Different types of toners

In Korean skincare, there is a wide range of toners for different skin types and needs. A very popular toner that you can find at Happy & Pretty is the

Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner (Pyunkang Yul | Essence Toner - 200 ml)

This toner is particularly moisturizing and soothing - perfect for sensitive and dry skin types. The Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner contains valuable ingredients that moisturize and make the skin supple without irritating it.

Which toner is right for you?

Choosing the right toner depends largely on your skin type and your individual needs. If you want to refine your skin's texture and remove excess oil, a BHA toner is ideal. If you have dry or sensitive skin, a mild, moisturizing toner like the Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner could be just right. It is important that the toner goes well with the other products in your routine.
