toning your skin is important

Toning:
 
Toning involves the use of a toner or astringent.  If cleansing agents need to match your skin type, toners should as well because their job is removing deep-seated residue that regular cleansers may not be able to clean.  Toners are usually applied in a swab of cotton that’s massaged all over the face.  Toning not only removes the dirt and oil the cleanser might miss but it also sets your skin by closing open pores and preparing it for moisturizing. 

Most toners double as toning and moisturizing agents but it is still advisable to use a separate oil-free moisturizer.  Some toners have alcohol in them so for people with sensitive skin, it is very important to find an alcohol-free formula.  There are thousands of choices in the market, all promising great results but be sure to pick one that is alcohol-free, gentle, and one that fits your skin type.
