Whats the difference between the toner and astringent?

Hi Maria,

You are concerned with:
Difference between toner and astringent

What we think about your concern:
Difference on the Basis of Composition

Astringents comprise of certain substances like witch hazel or alcohol. In other words, they are either chemical-based or alcohol-based. However, toners contain neither chemicals nor alcohol.

Difference on the Basis of Skin Type Suitability
Astringents are the best used in case of oily skin or combination dry/oily skin. Conversely, toners should be the only choice for dry or sensitive skin. This is because the chemicals/alcohol in the astringents irritates sensitive skin and makes dry skin even drier.

Difference on the Basis of Effects
Astringents are useful in controlling surface oils and lowering skin’s pH, after cleansing. At the same time, they also tighten the open pores of the skin. On the other hand, toners are mainly used for keeping the skin hydrated and providing nourishment to the skin.
