Cleansers & Toners

Cleansers and toners play crucial roles in a well-rounded skincare routine. Cleansers remove makeup, dirt, oil, and impurities from the skin’s surface, preventing clogged pores and reducing the risk of breakouts. Additionally, a clean canvas enhances the effectiveness of subsequent skincare products. Toners further contribute by balancing the skin’s pH levels, which can be disrupted during the cleansing process. They also remove any remaining traces of impurities, refine pores, and prepare the skin to better absorb moisturisers and treatments. Together, cleansers and toners form the foundation for healthy and radiant skin, ensuring it is properly cleansed, balanced, and ready to receive the benefits of other skincare products.
