Should I use a toner??

[bossman_1986]

What does a toner for the face do? Toners have alcohol in it and I heard alcohol makes your face look older and I dont want that. I want it to look healthy and young.

So should I use a toner??

I have some Noxema toner I used to use, what it did for me is it made my face smell good and gave it a really slight tan. It also made my face look smoother. Your best bet to look nice and young is to get a perscription of Differin cream from your doctor and and a bar of benzoyl peroxide you wash your face twice a day with the bar and use the differin cream at night when you sleep. After about a week of doing this your face will look smoother and younger. It works trust me you'll look like an actor with permanant make up on 24/7. Just look at my face in the avatar.

Toner (skin care)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


A toner is a liquid that is applied after the cleansing process to remove any traces of cleanser, make-up or dirt, and leave the skin feeling refreshed and ready to absorb moisturiser.

Toners can be applied to the skin in different ways:

On damp cotton wool (most frequently used method)
Spraying onto the face using a vaporiser
By applying a tonic gauze mask - a piece of gauze is covered with toner and left on the face for a few minutes.

After toning, blot the face almost dry with a tissue and apply moisturiser.

Types of toners

Skin bracers or fresheners
These are the mildest form of toners; they contain virtually no alcohol (0-10%), water, and a humectant such as glycerine. Humectants help to keep the moisture in the upper layers of the epidermis by preventing it from evaporating. A popular example of this is rose water. These toners are the kindest to skin, and are most suitible for use on dry, dehydrated, sensitive and normal skins.

Skin tonics
These are slightly stronger and contain a small quantity of alcohol (up to 20%), water and a humectant ingrediant. Orange flower water is an example of a skin tonic. Skin tonics are suitible for use on normal, combination, and oily skin.

Astringents
These are the strongest form of toner and contain a high proportion of alcohol (20-60%), antiseptic ingredients, water, and a humectant ingredient. These are commonly reccomended for oily skins as they are drying, but note that the removal of oil from the skin can lead to excess oil production as the skin tries to compensate for this and prevent moisture loss. Witch hazel is an example of an astringent. To prevent dehydration, astringent is best applied only to problem areas of skin, such as spots.

Some people dispute whether toner is actually necessary, and prefer to use plain water instead.
