Your skin regime cannot be complete without toning. The importance of cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing is etched in the minds of almost every person who understands the need for skincare. But, most of these people tend to falter when it comes to realizing the importance of toning. Therefore, it is important to know that although cleansing plays an important role in removing all the dirt and oil from your face, it might not be enough to clear your skin thoroughly. This is where toners come into the picture. Toners remove all the leftover dirt and impurities from the skin that your cleanser might have missed. Not only that, toners are a must for people with oily skin as they shrink the pores and adds a layer of protection on which moisturizer can be used.

Another good thing about toners is that you do not necessarily have to burn a hole in your pocket when it comes to toning your skin. Toners are extremely easy to make at home. However, before using any product, it is necessary to understand your skin type. This will not only help you extract maximum benefits from the product but also prevent you from causing any damage to the skin. So, if you have an oily skin type, you can use the following DIY toners for your skin.
