10 Best Toners For Dry Skin You Should Try In 2019

July 26, 2019 by Ramona Sinha

Toners are not for dry skin. This is the most common misconception that we have.

Toning is the second most important step of the CTM ritual. A good quality toner not only clears the dead skin cells that linger on your face after cleansing but also neutralizes the skin’s pH and helps skin care products sink deeper into your skin. If you have dry skin, a hydrating toner is all you need. Scroll down and check out our list of the best toners for dry skin.
