Expert: Danya Date: 12/12/2004 Subject: Skin toner or astringent
Question If there is a difference between a toner or astringent. I believe I need a toner because it seems milder than an astringent. But you can correct me if I am wrong and tell me which one I need.
I have normal skin. Correct me if I am wrong, but I am thinking all skin types need a toner or astringent.
I am running out of my toner but its expensive. I was looking for a less expensive one but effective one. If you know of something natural and easy to use like witch hazel that would be even better. Is witch hazel a good toner?
Thanks in advance.
Answer Sallie,
I don't believe there is a difference between toner and astringent (but I'm not positive). I use astringent from Clean and Clear which is cheap and effective. You can get one for acne or just very deep cleaning. I've heard witch hazel is good to use. I hope that helps and feel free to email any more questions!
