Do you really need a toner?

It's a question I get all the time as an esthetician: Do I really need a toner? Toner is certainly something you can skip if you're trying to save a little money on your skin care, but a natural and organic facial toner is a great addition to your regimen, especially if you have combination or oily skin. A toner helps remove cleanser residue, important for skins that have a tendency to get clogged. Toner can also help restore skin's pH barrier, keeping it protected. I love how toner imparts a fresh feeling and helps shrink and tighten pores to make skin look more smooth. In the winter, I often suggest dry skin types avoid toner, but our natural and organic toners are so gentle and full of beneficial botanicals that they work in any season. So, when it comes to a natural facial toner at Nature's Basin, my answer is "Yes, you need one."
