Do we actually need a toner?

As mentioned toner does restore the pH levels of the skin, but this can also help to prepare it for moisturiser. Because of this there are different types of toners available for different skin types.
However, the cleanser which you use may have been beneficial enough for you by either starting to restore the pH levels or by not disturbing them.

I'm not convinced we need to use toner, I used to use it when I was in my early 20s but to be honest I never really felt it was beneficial. I think like some of the other girls have said if your skin is oily it can help to keep ph levels in check but as you are noticing after not using for a while it isn't essential.
Toner not only restores the ph balance of the skin after cleanser but also removes any remaining oils and dirt from the skins surface. This makes the skin better prepareed to take in your moisturiser. Buy using a toner you get the most out of your moisturer, and may find that you dont to use as much if not using a toner.
Toner is SO Important. As a beauty therapist, I have many people ask me that. It restores the pH levels which restores your lipid barries so your skin is better able to heal and protect itself from bacteria. It also promotes absorption of serums and moisturiser. Just make sure it's alcohol free- not even people with oily skin should use alcoholic toners, this causes dehydration and makes your skin oilier. If unsure, go get some qualified advice.
I dont think there's a yes or no answer to this or even a generic "this is the answer". I've read how some of you ladies find toner beneficial on your oily skin. I have an oily skin and toner is not beneficial to my skin at all! I break out in pimples and no matter what toner it is. All of our skin so different we can only do for skin what our skin allows us to do. I reckon if your skin has been doing fine without toner then clearly your skin doesnt need toner.
I never used to think much of toners, I either thought they did nothing or some even felt like they were stinging my skin. But I've recently discovered the Dr. Hauschka range, and just love their Clarifying Toner. I use it after their Cleansing Milk, and it is making a big difference to my blocked and enlarged pores around my nose. It is all natural, smells delicious, feels refreshing and has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. I now look forward to using my toner and would never skip it!
I totally agree with you Niki! The Dr. Hauschka Clarifying Toner works wonders! It is specifically forumalted to reduce redness and pore sizes so was a great product for me. Dr. Hauschka is also 100% natural and organic so won't sting or irritate the skin, like some other toners which have quite high alcohol content.
I've tried a few different toners but haven't found any benefits from them, and some I've found made things worse, like clinque's ones which are heavy on alcohol.
Here's a good read if you want to know about toners: http://www.paulaschoice.com/expert-advice/skin-care-basics/_/do-i-need-a-toner
That whole website is so full of knowledge, and it's all science based facts, not made up things like you might read in magazines.

Toners/or lotions are not always essential with some skincare products (eg cleansers that have glycolic, lactic or ahas in them), they have different functions/and ingredients ie 'SOTHYS' lotions have 'soothing lotions' to restore calm and ph to the skin. 'comfort lotions' for dry , dehydrated skins. 'Clarifying lotions' for oily skins and 'vitality lotions' for normal skin. They also have the added bonus of prepping the skin for moisturiers, so you don't need to use as much! I also like the idea of using them in a spray bottle for a recharge mist during the day:-)
I read this the other day:

And apparently toners were only invented to remove the soapy film left behind from cleanser...his was originally i'm sure today's toners probably have a few more benefits!

I never really used toner before about 3 months ago when I started using a Michael Todd one. I find I get less breakouts and also my pore on my nose seem to be smaller too. It doesnt leave me feeling tight at all. It must depend on the type you are using I guess. I never thought it they used to do anythin untill I started using a good one. I have combination skin.
