No. Toners have several purposes. The most important one is to readjust the pH of the skin after cleansing as many cleansers tend to be alkaline. The skin’s normal pH is about 5.5, which is a little bit acidic. This acidity actually helps the skin’s barrier function do its job, part of which is keeping things out which don’t belong there. Another reason to use a toner is to remove traces of makeup or dirt which may be left on the skin after cleansing. So yes, using a toner, the correct one for you skin type, is a good thing!
