    I'm still questioning if the marketing people in the skincare industry are brainwashing us by telling us more products are necessary, but from doing some research online I have learned that toner supposedly:

    - serves as a final cleanup, picking up any dirt or oils or residual cleanser that might have been left behind

    - brings the skin back to pH balanced levels of around 5.5 (which can be thrown off by cleansing in water, which may have a pH of up to 9.5 depending on your area)

    - is a very important step to prepare your skin for moisturizer as it helps your skin hold moisture better.
