I used to deal with that tight, uncomfortable feeling every single day. I thought toners were just harsh, stinging liquids meant to strip away leftover dirt.

They are all about <span style=\"background-color:#fffde7; padding:2px 4px; border-radius:3px;\">deep hydration and skin barrier repair<\/span>. Think of your skin like a dry sponge. If you put a heavy cream on a bone-dry sponge, it just sits on top.
