After cleansing a toner is used to remove last traces of cleanser and tighten and tone pores. Toner leaves skin feeling invigorated and cool. Next use a moisturizer. Pollution, sunlight, harsh weather, air conditioning and central heating remove moisture from skin. This causes dry and dull skin. Two litres of water daily will hydrate your skin from inside. You should also add moisture from outside. A good moisturizer will help prevent your skin’s moisture from evaporating into atmosphere. All skin types, including oily, need moisturizers.
