Understanding Toner in Skincare
Toner is a skincare product that helps to balance the skin's pH after cleansing. It can also offer additional benefits depending on its formulation, such as hydration or exfoliation. Many sources indicate that starting a skincare routine, which may include toner, at any age is perfectly acceptable, provided the product is appropriate for your skin type. One source specifically states, "Yes, there is no wrong time to use toners and serums."1 Another source recommends using moisturizer and toner even in your twenties.2

Choosing the Right Toner
It's crucial to select a toner formulated for your specific skin type (oily, dry, combination, sensitive). Look for ingredients that address your skin concerns. For example, if you have acne-prone skin, look for a toner with salicylic acid. If you have dry skin, opt for a hydrating toner.
Examples of Toner Use:
- A 20-year-old with oily skin might use a toner with salicylic acid to help control oil production and prevent breakouts.
- A 20-year-old with dry skin could benefit from a hydrating toner to add moisture and improve skin texture.
