In the world of skincare, toners tend to get relegated to the backseat. They are “nice-to-have” for many people, not “must-have,” and some people skip them altogether. The problem, of course, is that without a toner, your face can feel a little tight after you cleanse, or worst case, your serums and moisturisers don’t get a chance to deliver all they could.
A great toner provides way more than a tight feeling and a zap of freshness. It sets your skin
back to its neutral state after cleansing. Plus, it sets the stage for a healthy pH and helps to
smooth the surface so the next products you layer on will absorb the way they should. It’s
also perfect for dealing with your skin’s day-to-day troubles like oiliness, clogged pores, and uncomfortable dryness.
“Maintaining a balanced skin pH is one of the simplest yet most ef ective ways
to support barrier health, reduce breakouts, and improve skin clarity.”– British Journal of Dermatology
Why Toners Are More Important Than You Think
One of the most overlooked functions of a toner is its role in helping your skin in the
transition. The skin may feel stripped and raw after cleansing, but what we all really
want is to get to that nourished, protected finish. Another challenge is that your skin might
not be the same on all parts of the face. Your cheeks might feel dry while your T-zone feels oily. The right toner can help you with this. At Urban Veda we have a different range of toners for your skin type. This makes your skincare routine feel more effective overall.
So rather than thinking about toner as an ‘extra,’ consider it the step that helps your
skin find its balance — clearing away what doesn’t belong, soothing what feels unsettled, and setting the stage for everything else that follows.
Soothing Hydrating Toner for Sensitive Skin
We have all seen someone, or even experienced it ourselves, where stepping out in the sun
for just 2 minutes causes redness, or even a minor touch on the face triggers irritation. That’s because of sensitive skin, and finding the right product for such a skin type can be really tricky. At Urban Veda, we have formulated the Soothing Hydrating Toner for sensitive
skin. The toner was created to be that calming step your skin awaits after cleansing. It helps to remove any excess impurities, balances oil, and comforts tired skin to bring back the calm and comfortable feeling. Lightweight and gentle to the skin, it is filled with natural goodness to continue the hydration process while keeping irritation at bay.

Purifying Hydrating Toner for Oily & Blemish-Prone Skin
If you're on an on-the-go lifestyle that includes travel, a daily commute, or simply happen to be outside a lot, your skin goes through a lot. Heat and dirt can really add up. If you have oily skin, that usually involves more clogged pores and pesky breakouts at the worst possible moment. The challenge is finding a product that does it all -- without undue dehydration of your skin. This is exactly why Urban Veda has made the Purifying Hydrating Toner. This acts as a daily reset: clearing away impurities, calming irritated skin, balancing excess oil and leaving the skin fresh.
Key Ingredient:
Enriched with Neem, an anti-bacterial and purifying power herb of Ayurveda, this toner
prevents breakouts and promotes clear skin. Witch Hazel closes the pores, while Tea Tree oil calms irritation and heals the skin. ProVitamin B5, along with Glycerin helps in moisture
retention so there is no tightness or drying out after use. Cooling botanicals such as Wild
Mint and Eucalyptus help detoxify and refresh, with Wild Mint working much like salicylic
acid to gently clarify and promote a clearer, more radiant complexion.
