Next up is removing excess oil and tackling ever-ongoing congestion to give your pores an intense cleanout.

This daily-use toner purifies and mattifies the skin, making pores appear tightened and your skin's texture appear refined. Once your skin is dry from cleansing and exfoliating, you can apply your toner by placing it in your palms and patting into the skin or by taking a cotton pad and sweeping over your face.

Step Four: Face Mask

To get that next step further, a face mask will help to absorb further excess oil and will help to control the shine of your skin too.
