Apply serums before or after toner
  • SR
    Hi

    An educator for a natural skin care line told me you should apply a serum after cleansing the skin, then
    apply a toner. The rationale was that the pH of the skin is disrupted after cleansing and the serum
    would penetrate more effectively as a toner readjusts the skins pH. What are your thoughts on this?

    Wouldn't your serum be wiped off when you apply toner?

    Not if using a spray toner, which has always been recommended to me.
    Using toner on a cotton ball wastes product, most of it gets absorbed by the cotton
    and the motion of rubbing the cotton across the skin can irritate sensitive skin.

    some of us use toner as a cleansing product, so that spray thing won't work
