QShould I be using a toner? Which one will work best for my skin?

Jenny, Maidenhead

AThe purpose of toner is to bring your skin back to its natural pH level after cleansing, but it can also address a whole host of skin concerns so getting the right toner can transform your skin. In the past, toners tended to be very drying, stripping the skin and leaving it ‘squeaky’ clean, but modern formulas can soothe, exfoliate and help issues like dehydration, pimples or pigmentation.

For dry skin, try The Body Shop Vitamin E Hydrating Toner, £8.50, thebodyshop. com. This nourishing formula soothes and moisturises skin and feels gentle and refreshing. If you have pigmentation, try an acid-based toner like Catrice Pore 2in1 Peeling & Toner, £5.99, justmylook.com. The mixture of acids exfoliate the top layers of the skin for a more radiant, even complexion. Redness getting you down? La Roche-Posay Soothing Lotion, £12.50, Boots, will take the irritation out of your skin and provide comfort. Blemishes your bugbear? Apply Revolution Skincare Blemish Targeting Toner, £9.95, revolutionbeauty.com. Its 2% salicylic acid formula deep cleans pores and targets spots for smoother, clearer skin.
