When it comes to cleaning your skin, you might be wondering whether you really need to use both a cleanser and toner. Each one has its own benefits, so it really depends on your individual needs. If you have dry or sensitive skin, for example, you might benefit from using both a cleanser and toner. On the other hand, if you have oily skin, you might be able to get away with just using a cleanser.

Read on to learn more about the differences between the two and when to use them, plus find out more about Pili Ani’s plant-based cleanser and toner.

What is a Face Cleanser?

A face cleanser is a product that helps remove pore-clogging impurities, pollution, dirt, and makeup residue on your face. It is important to use a face cleanser every day as part of your skincare routine to help keep your skin clean and healthy.

There are many different types of face cleansers available on the market, so it's important to choose one that's suitable for your skin type.

Face cleansers can be used both morning and night. In the morning, you should wash your face to remove excess sebum and skincare products left on your skin overnight. In the evening, you should also cleanse to remove any dirt, pollution, or makeup (also sunscreen!) that accumulated on your skin during the day.

It's important to choose a face cleanser that suits your skin type and needs. You can talk to your dermatologist or skincare specialist to find out which type is right for you.

What is a Toner?

A toner is a type of facial product that helps cleanse, refresh, and balance the skin. It is typically used after cleansing the face and before applying moisturizer. Aside from removing any remaining traces of dirt, oil, and makeup, it also restores the skin's natural pH balance and prepares it for better absorption of subsequent skincare products.

Toners are an important part of any skincare routine, but they are often overlooked. If you don't currently use a toner, consider adding one to your regimen. You may be surprised at the difference it can make in the overall appearance of your skin.

In Conclusion

Depending on what your skin needs, you may use both a cleanser and toner or opt to skip the latter. If you have dry or sensitive skin, you might benefit from using both a cleanser and toner so your skin's moisture levels are restored. On the other hand, if you have oily skin, you might be able to get away with just using a cleanser and go straight to other skincare products like face oils. Be sure to choose a product that is designed for your specific skin type to get the most benefit.
