They say the easiest way to great skin is a regular cleanser-toner-moisturiser regimen. Toners restore the pH balance of your skin, they tighten up the pores of your skin, help in preventing skin breakouts, hydrate and nourish the skin and help in complete cleansing. It is best immediately after cleansing the face in the morning before an antioxidant and sunscreen; and these days, we’re flooded with myriad options to choose from. Here is a list of the newest toners in town…
