Top 10 Toners for Dry Skin in India

Guest post by Sanchita D

As a part of the daily Cleansing-Toning-Moisturizing routine, toners are a very important part of skin care. But they are treated with lesser than usual importance. One of the main uses of toners is to make the skin look smooth and tighten the pores. However, since dry skin beauties are not faced with the problem of open pores, they have the tendency to neglect it. Toners are very important to balance the pH level of the skin so that the skin neither looks dry nor oily. Further, they also aid in removing residual layers of makeup and renew the skin. Dry skin requires mild toners which are mostly alcohol and perfume free. Therefore, let’s see the 10 best options for toners for dry skin available in India.
