WHAT SKIN TYPES SHOULD AND SHOULDN’T USE TONER?

Dr. Samolitis says there’s no simple answer since skin types and concerns are unique to the individual. However, “toner is most beneficial for people who have very oily or acne-prone skin and need a bit of extra exfoliation to clarify pores.” Conversely, “anyone with sensitive skin, eczema, allergies, rosacea, or dry skin should be cautious of toners in general,” she says. Essentially, this latter group would fare better with hydrating and replenishing (vs. active and exfoliating) toners.

 

CAN YOU STILL USE AN EXFOLIATING TONER IF YOUR REGIMEN INCLUDES OTHER ACTIVES?

“Toners can enhance the penetration of active ingredients by removing excess oil and skin debris prior to applying those actives,” says Dr. Samolitis. “Those with a combination of exfoliating acids in light concentrations (glycolic, salicylic, or lactic acid) are best for this purpose.”

To avoid compromising your skin barrier, slowly introduce new products and active ingredients. To play it safe, you can start by diluting a cotton pad with water before applying toner. You can also build up from a patch test to once weekly, every other day, daily, and twice daily based on your skin’s response.

Additionally, if you use medical-grade topicals, you should rotate (rather than layer) exfoliating toner in your routine. For instance, tone in the morning and apply your Rx active at night—or switch them out by the day. Of course, it’s always advised to consult your dermatologist to tailor your own unique regimen.

“Traditional toners were largely alcohol based, which could cause irritation and dryness. Many of them also contained witch hazel and/or salicylic acid to clarify acne-prone skin,” Dr. Samolitis explains. However, the market has experienced a recent renaissance of sorts, expanding to address additional skincare concerns. “Now there are many kinds of toners available, including those with micellar water, rose water, essential oils, and emollients such as glycerin to provide more hydration,” she continues.

How to Naturally Eliminate Spots From Face In 2 Days? || AuliLifestyle

The melanin pigment in your skin is intended to shield it from harmful UV light. Melanocytes (the cells that produce pigment) may produce excessive amounts of melanin as a result of factors such as prolonged sun exposure, hormonal imbalances, or irritations brought on by specific medications or products, among others. This results in areas that are perceived to be dark spots on the face. As previously mentioned, dark spots on the face may get worse if the skin produces too much melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. This disorder is characterized by hyperpigmentation. The following variables may contribute to hyperpigmentation: Sun exposure Aging Hormonal modifications in the course of being pregnant or during menopause Excessive or beside-the-point hair elimination techniques Acne Wounds Harsh skincare products Scarring is resulting from pores and skin sicknesses like psoriasis, eczema, etc. Dark spots, a frequent dermatological condition, are particula...
