Here’s How To Use Facial Toner

Think back to your 14-year-old self swiping on facial toner every morning and night hoping the alcohol-filled solution would magically erase your acne.

It might have gotten rid of the bumps on your skin, but it would also sting a ton and dry out your complexion.

Welp, facial toner is back. But it looks very different than it did when you were a teenager. “Facial toners have made a comeback thanks to the widespread popularity of Korean 10-step skincare regimens,” says Christine Choi Kim, MD, dermatologist for The Body Shop.

Even if you aren’t interested in committing to the full nine yards (or rather, 10 steps) of a Korean beauty skincare routine, facial toner can be a seriously clutch part of your personal routine. But here’s the thing: If you’ve got a darker skin tone, you need to be a li’l bit more careful when choosing the right toner for you.

“People with darker skin tones tend to be more prone to uneven pigmentation,” explains Marina Peredo, MD, a dermatologist based in New York. “If that’s a skin concern for you, then it’s important to avoid any toners with alcohol since it can exacerbate an uneven complexion.” Basically, alcohol is *super* drying for the skin, and it can make you look flaky or ashy if you’re not careful.

That said, toner still has some major benefits for your complexion no matter your skin type or tone. Curious? Great. Keep reading for exactly how to use facial toner, according to experts. Your pores will thank you!
