Best Toner For Acne Prone Skin
Toners are an incredibly important part of skincare that most people miss, and this is especially important for acne prone skin. Before we show you our carefully curated list of the best toner for acne prone skin, let us explain why it's so very important.
Toners help to rebalance the skin’s pH, while removing any excess oil or leftover makeup that your cleanser might have missed. The alkaline nature of many cleansers means they can throw out your skin’s pH. This causes the skin to create excess oil to rebalance, which can lead to spots forming. To make sure this doesn’t happen, you should apply toner after you cleanse to rebalance the skin.
What’s more, if your toner is infused with active, soothing or mattifying ingredients, it can also help to heal, hydrate or reduce excess oiliness in the skin. Just choose a product that targets your key concern.
Ingredients to keep an eye out for in your toner:
For dull skin:
Vitamin C – packed with botanical power, this ingredient brightens skin. Combatting hyperpigmentation, this botanical also helps to reveal a more even tone and texture.
For congested skin:
Glycolic Acid – this exfoliating ingredient chemically uplifts dirt, dead skin cells and excess oil from the skin. Ideal for clearing your pores, this ingredient lets your skin start again, while boosting every step of your skincare routine.
For oily skin:
Witch Hazel – one of the most popular ingredients in toners, known for its anti-inflammatory power and ability to soothe skin. A favourite amongst those with acne prone complexions, Witch Hazel reduces oiliness, mattifying the complexion. When looking for the best toner for acne prone skin, this ingredient is one to watch out for.
For dry skin:
Hyaluronic Acid – If you suffer from dryness, this acid is exactly what you need. One of the most famous ingredients in the industry, Hyaluronic Acid draws and locks moisture into the skin. Plumping the complexion, the acid improves the skin's overall appearance.
