Healthy skin begins, the moment you decide to start taking care of yourself. It’s more like self-care.  Following a skin care routine may mean different things to different people. Some people are looking to  maintain their skin health, some are looking to undo their earlier negligence, some want to reverse  premature ageing, while some want to target specific skin issues, like acne, pigmentation, rashes etc.  Your reasons for skin care may be varied, but they are all valid and relevant. You may follow any skin  care routine, but you can’t deny the importance of beginning it with CTM. Cleansing, Toning and  moisturizing.  

Cleansing and moisturizing are two steps of skin care routine that are self explanatory by themselves. One does not need to explain the purpose of using them. But what about ‘Toning’? We all know it’s a  super essential part of any skin care regime. It is nothing short of a power packed, skin care product that  will up your skin care game to an all new level. But what exactly is a toner? How does it work? Why is it  an integral part of skin care? Let us help allay some of your queries and help you understand Face  Toners better, before you undoubtedly stock them up in your skin care arsenal.  

A face toner, also commonly known as an astringent, is best used post cleansing your face. It helps refresh and calm your agitated skin. It also helps control the excess sebum production and balances the  pH levels of your skin. Face Toners also help infuse your skin with a boost of hydration and instantly giving you a smooth, oil free look. Face Toners are of various kinds, which help address a wide range of  skin issues.
