Toner - Yeah or nah

I do because it's just an ingrained step in my routine, and I use a toner I use on a cotton wipe, so it does the step or making sure I've got all cleanser off. Most toners don't actually close your pores - ones with astringents in them can make them appear smaller, but the closing pores reason seems to be the common thought of why you use a toner.
Yup Berryliciousbeauty is correct - toners don't shrink your pores back to size, in fact pores can not actually open and close at all, this is a myth that's been circulating the beauty world for years.
So a toner can be used for a couple of reasons - to get rid of any cleanser residue and leave the skin feeling fresh and even cleaner.
Another is to bring your skin's pH level back down to what it should be as most cleansers are a high pH. And lastly a toner is often used for extra hydration.
It's not necessary to use a toner but if you like using one then it doesn't hurt either (:

I second Oasis' Berry Brightening Toner. I would have stocked up on it when Healthpost had a 3 for 2 sale on Oasis products but needed to stock up on Apple a Day. A few others that are really good and I have repurchased are Antipodes, Trilogy (I've used the spray but not the gel one in the gray bottle, I want to though) and I'm currently using a gel toner from Living Nature. Interestingly I found the gel toner has been lasting me a long time, much longer than the sprays.
I love toner and always use it, but never anything astringent. I usually use rosewater or something based around it. Lately I have been trying Korean gel toners and also following a flower based toner with an exfoliating one, such as glycolic acid.
Caroline Hirons explains toners really well on her blog. Like Idomakeup says, pores are not something that open and close like little doors! Ms Hirons is quite passionate about this: http://www.carolinehirons.com/2010/08/beauty-mouth-basics-toner.html

I know I'm supposed to use one as part of a 3 step system but all I seem to do is cleanse and apply Chia Seed Oil to my face, however thank you so much Trudi because you just reminded me that I have the Snowberry tone from Beautiful Christmas too, plus I think there is a Temple Tonic one in there too? Will have to check.
