toners for combination skin

Combination skin is a type where the areas around your T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) are oily while the remaining areas like the cheeks are dry. This unique skin type often needs a balance between oil control and hydration. A good toner for combination skin can help you do that. The best face toners for combination skin help balance oil production while providing moisture to drier areas, leaving your skin refreshed and even-toned. 

Why do you need toner for combination skin?  

A toner for combo skin will help remove leftover impurities after cleansing, reduce the appearance of pores, and balance oil production. Moreover, toners with gentle exfoliating and hydrating properties serve the dual purpose, of controlling excess oil in the T-zone, while soothing and moisturizing the drier parts of the face. 

Types of face toners for combination skin  

There are various types of toners for combination skin, each designed to meet specific needs:  

• Hydrating toners: Ideal for drier areas, they infuse moisture while keeping oily areas in check.  

• Exfoliating Toners: Containing ingredients like glycolic acid or salicylic acid, they help control oil and gently exfoliate the skin to prevent breakouts in oily areas.  

• Balancing toners: These help to manage oil production in the T-zone while nourishing the dry parts of the face, offering an overall balanced complexion.

How to use toners effectively for combination skin  

• After cleansing, apply a small amount of face toner for combination skin either with a cotton pad or by patting it directly onto your skin with clean hands.  Alternately, spritz it directly on your face and let it air dry. 

• Focus on your T-zone to balance oil production while applying the toner and on drier areas like your cheeks to ensure hydration.  

• Follow up with a moisturizer that suits your combination skin to lock in hydration.
