What is the primary function of toners in skincare?

  1. Balance the skin's pH and remove leftover products

  2. Hydrate and balance the oil-water moisture content

  3. Protect the skin from the sun

  4. Seal in moisture and protect the barrier layer

The correct answer is: Balance the skin's pH and remove leftover products

Toners in skincare primarily serve to balance the skin's pH and remove any leftover products after cleansing. The pH balance of the skin is crucial for maintaining a healthy skin barrier and ensuring that skincare products can work effectively. By removing any residue or impurities, toners help prepare the skin to better absorb serums, moisturizers, and other treatments. While hydration, sun protection, and moisture sealing are important functions in skincare, they are not the primary purpose of toners.
