Skin Care FAQ 11 Do I need to use a toner after cleansing?
Toners are generally used to remove any excess residue left on the skin after cleansing and to restore your skins natural pH. If you wash your face with soap (which you shouldnt), it is a good idea to use a toner because soap is too alkaline. If you are using a cleanser with a pH in the 3.0-3.5 range, it may be better to skip using a toner. Product penetration will improve if your skin is slightly acidic, and a toner will bring it back to its normal range which may prevent subsequent products from working effectively.
