What does a toner do for your skin? Do you apply it after wash before moisturizer? What can I use for a natural at home toner?

Toners main function is restore the ph in your skin (because washing it makes it less acidic.) but depending on the ingredients determines the extra function. For example, witch hazel is an astringent (draw out the bad stuff) and aloe is a calming agent. You apply it after washing before moisturizer, correct. You can make toners with witch hazel and rose water or apple cider and water. They're so many, you just have to research which kind you want.

Toner returns your skins pH back to normal which is 5.5 (means level of acidity). It also minimizes pores and cleanses your face. You wash your face first, then toner and then moisturise. For a nice non irritant toner I use Natio rosewater and chamomile skin toner which is alcohol free and gentle on your skin. Try not to use ones with alcohol cos last time I did it burnt my face and it stung real bad! Try to get ones without any alcohol ☺️ hope that helps 👍

It balance your ph, removes any excess makeup, yes apply after you wash with a cotton ball, @ home... apple cider vinegar... but research it 1st.

Witch hazel mixed with rose water is my go to. Also try it with cucumber or lemon.
