In modern skincare, toner is often underestimated or skipped entirely. Yet, toning plays a crucial role – especially after facial cleansing. At MONLIS Studio in Munich, where professional skincare is our expertise, we know that a good toner can make the difference between stressed and glowing skin.

What Is a Toner?

A toner is a liquid skincare solution applied after cleansing and before applying serum or cream. Modern toners contain hydrating, soothing, and balancing ingredients that not only refresh the skin but also prepare it for the next steps in your routine.

Why Is Toning Necessary?

Many believe cleansing is enough. However, after using water and facial cleansers, your skin needs to be restored – in both pH balance and barrier function.

At MONLIS Studio, we explain to our clients:

• Toner restores the skin’s balance
  Cleansing can disrupt the skin’s pH. Toner helps rebalance it and prevent irritation.

• Toner removes leftover residue
  Even after cleansing, makeup or hard water residue can remain. Toner gently removes these.

• Toner hydrates the skin
  Ingredients like aloe vera, panthenol, or hyaluronic acid calm and hydrate the skin instantly.

• Toner preps the skin for better absorption
  After toning, your skin is more receptive to serums, oils, and moisturizers.

Types of Toners

At MONLIS Studio, we differentiate between several toner types:

• Hydrating toners – ideal for dry, sensitive, or mature skin

• Balancing toners – control sebum and mattify, perfect for oily or combination skin

• Soothing toners – with chamomile, rose water, or green tea for redness or sensitivity

• Exfoliating toners (with AHA/BHA) – for gentle daily peeling on impure or large-pored skin

Our skincare professionals will help you choose the best toner for your skin type.

How to Apply a Toner Correctly

1. After cleansing, apply a few drops to a cotton pad or directly into your palms

2. Gently swipe or pat over face, neck, and décolleté

3. Let it absorb naturally or press lightly into the skin

4. Follow with serum, oil, or moisturizer

At MONLIS Studio, we teach how to integrate toner professionally into your skincare routine.

When Will You See Results?

After just a few uses, you may notice your skin feels:

• Fresher

• Smoother

• Calmer

• More receptive to skincare products

Over time, consistent use of toner helps even out the complexion, reduce breakouts, and strengthen the skin’s natural barrier.

If you want healthy, radiant skin long-term, don’t skip this crucial step. Toner bridges the gap between cleansing and moisturizing – optimizing results and boosting overall skin health.

At MONLIS Studio Munich, toning is part of every facial treatment – always customized to your skin’s needs.
