If you're looking to upgrade your skincare routine, exfoliation is a step worth adding. Dead skin cells build up over time, causing skin to appear dull and feel rough to the touch. Regular exfoliation is key to getting rid of this, and exfoliating toners are a simple way to do so!
Unlike facial scrubs, which can be too harsh for the face, these toners are packed with acids or enzymes that dissolve dead skin—no harsh scrubbing needed. All it takes is a quick sweep!
