How to apply:

After you have washed your face and wiped it dry. Spray some toner on your face. Use cotton or your clean hands to spread it evenly on your face. Let it sink in your skin. This will take at least 2-3 minutes. Then you can proceed with rest of your skincare and makeup routine.

Why is toner important???

The main job of toner is to close the open pores. So that dirt, etc does not get clogged into it. This is why toner should be the 2^nd step in your skincare routine, 1^st being washing. So if you deal with the problem of blackheads, whiteheads or open pores, use toner regularly.
