However, cleansers have evolved and nowadays you do not need toners to do that. A good cleanser will be able to do that.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-ee93d15\" data-block-id=\"ee93d15\"><style>.stk-ee93d15 {margin-bottom:var(--stk--preset--spacing--20, 0.44rem) !important;}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">I quote Rona Berg from the author of Beauty, the New Basics :&nbsp;\u201cFor many women, toners are the logical next step in a skincare regimen, but I don\u2019t buy it. Literally. Whether they are called balancers, clarifying lotions, skin purifiers, or astringents (the strongest ones), toners are a pricey broth of water, color, preservatives, witch hazel, alcohol \u2014 and not much else. In fact, for most women, toners are a redundant product: toners are supposed to remove every last trace of oil, sweat, and makeup from your face \u2014 but so will a good cleanser. A toner will make your pores look smaller by swelling the tissue around the pore, but a moisturizer will do the same thing \u2014 and more.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-e42c106\" data-block-id=\"e42c106\"><style>.stk-e42c106 {margin-bottom:var(--stk--preset--spacing--20, 0.44rem) !important;}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thetriplehelixian.com\/2014\/09\/21\/how-and-what-do-toners-work-and-are-they-necessary\/\">This is an excellent article<\/a>&nbsp;and I agree with the points that John made.
