Despite its name, toners do not "tone" or thoroughly cleanse the skin. A facial wash or facial cleanser is used to clean deep-seated oil and dirt from the face. Nevertheless, beauty experts recommend, "toning" as part of the 3-step daily regimen - Cleanse, Tone & Moisturize!
Why is it important to use a toner? A toner helps remove the last traces of dirt from your pores. Some toners contain anti-oxidants and anti inflammatory ingredients which helps protect the skin.
Recommended Facial Toners
When it comes to brands, I particularly like Celeteque Toner or Godiva Toner because both are alcohol free and doesn't sting on your skin. Both are also priced reasonably 
so you don't really need to break your budget. Other good brands are Tea Tree Oil by Sensa, Eskinol Ice Pore Therapy,and Clean & Clear.However, if you're the splurging type, try Neutrogena or Clinique or The Body Shop's Tea Tree Oil daily facial toner.
Some people prefer to use alcohol-free toners while others want a bit of alcohol for extra cleansing strength!I personally like non-alcohol toners! But whichever you choose, don't forget to apply a moisturizer after toning your skin to avoid dryness!
*Which facial toner do you personally use? And which brands would you recommend?
