Is A Toner Necessary? 

I can’t believe we are fighting like this 💜

Who else misses the Shelfie behind him lately?

I love how the skincare community is all about spreading positive vibes and infos unlike the makeup community sheeesh

for me, toner cleared up my acne and ordinary serums made me break out. everyone’s skin is different. once i cut out ordinary serums and started using the much hated neutrogna toner my skin cleared up and is healthy now. everyone has different skin, don’t hate on hyram if something he says doesn’t give you perfect skin, it works for a lot of people

I just violently did the shoulder shake and accidentally fell off my bed. Oops

One month ago: didn’t even care about skin care Now bc started watching Hyram:160 dollar amazon wish list

I believe its also about individual skin type. For those with dry skin, an extra layer of hydration with a toner is not bad. For the summer time, when dehydration is at peak, a hydrating toner could really feel soothing on the skin.

For oily skin, toner is an extremely effective way to add hydration to your skin during winter though. And by toner i meant hydrating toner. especially for those people who hate occlusive moisturizer lol

if you're new here: - we don’t do makeup wipes - if you wear makeup think about double cleanse - no products with fragrance - diy skincare is a big NONO - Eye creams are expensive moisturizers - Sunscreen!!! Every. Single. Day - Chemical exfoliators >>>>>>> Physical exfoliators - YES to Niacinamide - (Drying) Alcohol in ingredients = DON’T BUY - No raw coconut oil on skin! If you do you’re choosing death - We like ‘The Ordinary’ and ‘CeraVe’ -We also stan ‘The Inkey list’ - Always moisturize (even if u have oily skin) - We need to take down St. Ives - We do shoulder shakes daily ;) Ok, so this comment is not mine jeje, i just copied it from another video cuz i think i't might be helpful. So credits to that person, i don't remember the name, sorry

I love when u do the shoulder shake and say “EVERY SINGLE WEEEEK” and when you snap your fingers and say “GET THAT SHIT TREATED!”

I really like when influencers say toners aren’t necessary because 99% of toners available in my country are like... perfume in a skincare bottle.

THE SHELF!! THE PERFECT SHELF! Petition to bring the shelf back:

Hyram’s facial structure is so beautiful like his jaw I-

I'm trying to get my boyfriend into a skincare routine and i asked what skin type he has he said soft skin 😂

hyram i literally don’t know what i would do without you and your videos, like it’s not even that you’re helping me understand skincare better it’s that you’re so respectful and civil when talking about these topics which makes me so happy because it makes me respect you more and makes me want to continue wanting to watch your videos. so thankyou

hyram looks so neat & clean it’s so pleasing to the eyes 😌

"every single weeeeeekkkk" ahh never gets old

I used to use the clean n clear lemon toner... that's the real reason I'm going to therapy

Title : Is Toner necessary? Thumbnail : “NO” welp that explains it a lot 😅

The shoulder shake and your tone while saying “every single week” is a vibe😂😂 I soooooooooo love it. ❤️❤️❤️

James welsh, robert welsh, Hyram, and Brad mondo would be the four musketeers

2013: Harlem Shake 2020: Hyram Shake

As a medical doctor I have always believed in skin care more than in make up. And I love how the skin care community, especially You, James, and few doctors there give positivity and good vibes about skin care. Trust me I was this guy who would was his face with any soap available, maybe till 2017. Everything has changed now. I just have simple skin care routine Morning (am) 1. Cleanse 2. Tone 3. Antioxidant (Vit C/E) 4. Sunscreen (mineral) Night (PM) 1. Oil balm cleansers 2. Regular cleanser ( Paula's choice) 3. Anti-aging (0.2% retinol) 4. Healing/ treatment ( Naicinamide) 5. Moisturizer/ mask And sometimes exfoliating with SA from the ordinary. So I have to thank u guys from changing me to the soap only guy to a guy with routine skin care ❤️🙏🙂

Using a toner gives me the feeling of packing my skin , my pores together and preparing it to put moisturiser on

I feel like toners aren’t necessary or the health of your skin but I would recommend getting one because they are fun and they feels very soothing to the skin

me watching hyram: NO TONER ❌🚫❌ me watching james: TONER 💕❤️💕💓💗💕

Yessss I love how you pointed out that toners are not meant to be an “extra cleanse” for the skin! That doesn’t even make sense when you think about it lol. Your videos are sooo informative💕

I can't believe how well he does his intro with the shoulder's I binge him all day.

I figured this because I haven’t used a toner in MONTHS and I literally see no difference

I can’t get over how he changed the ICONIC background 😩

Im still in love with the First Aid Beauty Toner you recommended in their truth about video. You said you liked it because you felt it was more like an essence and I couldn't agree more. I live in a really dry climate with harsh winters and its sooo soothing to use under my moisturizer

i swear the skincare community is the one part of the beauty community that isnt toxic, i love yall

Is it just me or is St. Ives getting a little to comfortable with their ads while watching Hyram

can we get a truth about: -avene -eucerin -benzagel -honest beauty ilysm hyram 🥺

That shoulder shake is the only thing keeping me alive in 2020. Never change it 💙

I have been binge-watching your videos for hours and I am surprised at how I am not tired of hearing the same voice yet! Thank you for this amazing channel, I feel like I am learning so much and finally on the way to take care of my skin and improve my acne situation

If your new here’s some skincare knowledge! 1: We Stan the ordinary, the inky list, youth to the people,cerea VE,krave beauty, Paulas choice and curology. 2: We dislike Mario badescu, clean and clear, most of neutrogena products, most of tatcha products, kiley skin, pixi skin and many more 3: fragrance is a BIG no. It can can cause many problems like irritation, rashes, pimples, acne and many more 4: Mario badescu sprays are just fragrance in water m💧 5: makeup wipes do more harm than good ( for your skin and the environment) 6: double cleanse if you wear makeup and or sunscreen 7: chemical exfoliating is way better than physical exfoliating 8: everyone’s skin is different 9: everyone needs to moisturize even if you have oily skin 10: use what works for you 11: fragrance is fine in a wash off treatment but not on a leave on treatment like moisturizer, surum, essence etc 12: be gentle with your skin 13: natural is not always better 14: sunscreen is the most important part of a skin care routine and should be used after everything else 15: eye creams are just expensive moisturizers and are not necessary , just use your regular moisturizer 16: our enemy is st. Ives apricot scrub😳 17: diy skincare is a no, most of them use essential oils (which are just as irritating as regular fragrance) and any of the good benefits that you could be getting from the ingredients are most like lost when you cut the fruit or vegetable open 18: enjoy yourself while doing your skincare and think of it as your you time 19: try to recycle ♻️ your empty skincare containers 20: a good and simple routine should have 4 steps,cleanser(this includes cleansing balms, oils etc), exfoliate, moisturizer, and the most important of them all, sunscreen. 21: ingredients to avoid. Denatured/SD alcohol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, polyvinyl alcohol(avoid these when they are in the first 6 ingredients). Avoid fragrance/parfum. Avoid fragrant essential oils (they are okay if they are at the end of the ingredient list). And avoid citrus extracts (lime, orange, lemon etc) Hope this was informative. Tell me in the comments some more things I forgot

He throws shade so unproblematically I love it 🤣🤣🙌

I love watching your videos, and I will say this might be one of my favorites not because I’m learning about toners but, because you are expressing your opinion with facts and speaking so eloquently. Even giving some toner suggestions! I really admire how you speak and how conscience you are about it. Thanks for another amazing video!! 💕

I literally listened to Hyram, went to an esthetician and got 👏🏼my👏🏼shit👏🏼treated👏🏼and all I want to say is thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me to courage to go seek professional help

“That little shoulder shake” Oh no sweetie pie, that’s the Hyram Shake😉🙌🏼❤️

Anyone else so proud that’s he just blew up

Please make a “Truth about Wishful Skin” video!

I’ve been told for years that I don’t need to use a toner but it’s the one step that I love doing in the morning to start my day!

LIKE IF THE INTRO NEVER GETS OLD

Hyram’s glow is brighter than my future

I just want to say: Hyram, thank you a lot for all the super educational videos and tips. I struggled with acne since I was 12 years (now 23) and only this year I finally got rid of it after I decided to take strong medication for 8 months (isotretinoin "Accutane") because all those years NOTHING helped. I'm still acne free since I took my last medication a few weeks ago and I was so scared that my acne would come back the first day I stopped taking the medicine. Until recently, skincare has been so so very stressful to me. I learned a lot from your videos and now I can carefully and slowly start to test some products, because from the medicine my skin got so dry. I feel so much better now and my self esteem got an enormous boost (which is at the same time kinda a weird feeling because its been over 10 years of trying to hide my skin under makeup and getting heavily bullied back in school). So yeah, when I look at products now I take a good look at the ingredient list before I'm going to buy anything and honestly I'm just so happy, thank you for everythig, I feel confident buying the right products now because now I know which ingredients could harm my skin (+ WHY they could harm) and which could be really beneficial. It feel SO GREAT to finally go outside without makeup and clear skin. Now I just have to work on healing scars and pigmentation left from acne. Love love love from Germany and sorry for my not so great English! Please stay as you are 💜

Thought this video was extremely helpful. I’m a male new too the whole skincare world and trying to learn a routine for the first time. It’s been difficult bc of the overwhelming amount of information and products out there. I’m glad I found your page and that you preach the necessities. I’d love to see more videos like this! I’ve noticed you mention keeping it simple with a 4 or 5 step routine in a few videos. I think it would be fantastic and super helpful if you made a video like this for each step of the process (I.e explaining the necessity of a cleanser/exfoliate/treatment/moisturizer etc - why it’s important? Exactly what it does for the skin? What the benefits are and how it works in relation to the other steps of a routine? Or how the steps differ from each other etc etc). I really enjoy understanding the process and exactly what I am doing to my skin, rather than simply buying a product and using it. Looking forward to your new videos and trying to get a grip on this seemingly chaotic world of skincare, thanks!!!

If I had his skin I would actually be able to lose my house y’all

it's cool that he and james welsh can agree to disagree on this

Thanks Hyram for making this video! I was confused about toners for so long. I tried a couple different types they didn't really do anything for me. The minimalist in me decided to go without for a while and it was better for my skin.

I totally get your point and I agree. But thank you for the last part 😅 I am one of those who love toners. I have very dry skin and I love the feeling of applying toner after cleansing. My skin feels ready afterwards. I do apply a serum and a heavy moisturizer every day, but whenever I don't apply toner it just doesn't feel right. They won't "glide" and I end up using more product to compensate the dryness. Thank you for your videos! They are addictive 😄

Anyone else just love the “every single week”

Thousands of people stop in the middle of their day to watch a video about toner. Hyram you've built an army of skincare junkies XD

A toner (or liquid lotion) is supposed to not only add in hydration, but it also helps your next skincare steps penetrate the skin more effectively. I've seen a few companies use a watercolor paper metaphor to explain this. Basically the pigments of watercolors saturate more of the paper when it's wet than when it's dry. Kind of like how smearing moisturizer on my skin post shower just doesn't do the job as well. So yes, technically you don't need one but it will level up your routine IMHO.

Hyram, you are the reason I have a proper skincare routine (which I just started this year when I moved to a cold country). I love your philosophy of telling us what is absolutely necessary and what can be optionally added later. This is so helpful for noobs like me who used to not even moisturize (eeek) :D

this channel is literally becoming free weekly skincare classes

the new filming locations and backgrounds r making me CURIOUS

my skin has gone downhill since school started again and i need to establish a skin care routine-this upload is right on time!!

Something about his personality and beautiful skin makes me think this might just be authentic :D

Hyram seems like the person that is always full of positive energy. I just wanna be your friend 🥺

Everyone definitely has their own opinions when it comes to toners and I was someone that used a toner religiously up until about a few months ago but now I have removed it completely from my skincare routine.. They are nice to use but not necessary to have 🤗 Great video Hyram!!!

I was wondering if you could make an updated video on your skincare routine, day and night, and how often you should use each product because I couldn’t find a lot of information on the internet, but also because you’re the only person I trust answering my questions.

Can we please have an updated version of a skincare routine for dry skin types!!

Me not even knowing what a toner does ..👁👄👁

His smile is so infectious omg 🥺🥺we Stan a queen who radiates positivity 👑👑😌

Loved loved loved this video! Absolutely agree, specially because A LOT of the most popular toners are fragrance factories and people don’t realize that’s awful for the skin.

I have dehydrated skin and adding toner has made a world difference in my routine!

I do love your intro and everything you create. You're the only skincare guru i watch and enjoy listening to (also you help me lots, thank you!)

I love Hyram and James Welsh's friendship/respect for each other :))

i swear, even by watching Hyram’s videos my skin gets better. Love you Hyram!!!! ❤️

Love the Dr Dray shout out, she is the best and ive been watching her for years!

My cousin just asked me the other day if she needed to use a toner for her skin care routine. Instead of me explaining it to her now I'll just have to send her this video :D

roses are red violets are blue i love hyram and you should too!!

Toner cleared my redness and kept my skin an even tone

I love watching you and Susan! I’m started to get introduced to James too slowly :) Love your content and your nice attitude to everything you don’t make anyone feel bad :) I learn so much, last week I bought a few things and the correct way your supposed to apply them, my husband can’t get over how soft and bright my skin every time we cuddle.

brad mondo: *sees title* yes

Honestly your amazing I could not really leave my house cause I was so frightened of how I looked and your skincare advice has helped me so much and I actually feel like going outside again love you 💙🤍💙🤍💙

Great info! I’ve been stressing lately over finding the right toner so it’s good to know I don’t necessarily need it.

‘Skin-fluencer’ 🙌🏽 First time I’ve heard this and it’s amazing

When considering a toner I have always been told that skin is like a sponge. A sponge absorbs liquid much easier and a lot more of it when it is already damp as opposed to when it is dry, where the liquid runs right off of it. In relation to your skincare and the use of a toner, the toner acts as the 'dampening of the sponge' so that your additional products are able to be absorbed and therefore more effective. With that said, I have had very dry skin ever since I went on accutane 5 years ago, so this advice could likely have a lot to do with the importance of hydration in my skincare routine. I would love to hear your thoughts on this analogy, what do you think?? PS I LOVE YOU AND SKINCARE

Honestly, I've been using Hada Labo toner that really help to smoothens out my skin. I recommend it to my sisters and my friends. It really working out!!. I'm sorry. We love toner😭

They shoulder shake is adorable. I like it because it is natural and human. I think, in a way it shows that you embrace to be funny, and in a very positive way a little bit “awkward”. And that, of course i can identify with and wish i had your courage to do so on camera. It is a small think but maybe one of the compounds that let you grow so fast.

Sipping my coffee and enjoying my breakfast while watching Hyram. I'm learning new things every time. Good morning y'all. 🌄

YOU LITERALLY ANSWERED MY EVERYDAY QUESTION😭😭 THANK UUUUUU

Would love to see a video on vintage skincare maybe a reaction/diving into the history of it. There are plenty of archival skincare ads from the 20th century here on yt, it'd be interesting to hear your take!

I have like 30 tabs open on google regarding skin care ingredients. Reading/ learning through out the day on my free time. Thanks for having this channel 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

But seriously all over your videos, my favorite part is the intro especially when you say every single week, i just always get ready to shake my shoulders as you are whenever you're going to say every single week

Hyram has helped so many people.💗 I've learned so much from you! Thank you so much

I’m late to the game and am currently binging. Do not regret. This is the format I’ve been looking for years! ❤️

I love informational videos like these, especially if your new in the skin care world!!

Thanks for explainibg so well why a toner isn’t necessary in today’s skin routine.

Always mesmerized how fast, but clearly you speak, Hyram 😍 I use toner at the evening after foaming cleanser, as I have large pores and toner really good for that and extra cleaning too I guess, making skin tighter and ready for moisturizer. I use Nourish brand.

Would you be able to make a video about how/if the different water types (hard/soft) affect skin care?

i love your shoulder shake and your intros hyram. its my favorite

we loooove the shoulder shake!!! always do and always will

This channel helped me, a 30 year old mom of 3 boys, realize that a simple skin care routine is just as good as a crazy routine. My skin would get dry patches during the winter (and my st.ives scrub did nothing to help lol) and my skin would cry for moisture. Thank you for your grains of wisdom to help me make educated choices!

i literally do the ENTIRE intro with him from aloha to the shoulder shake

The shoulder shake is everything! As are you! xxx

i finally know how to deal my acne because of you hyram. Ingredients really don't lie! and good education on skin care routine really did save my skin for the past 3 months since i started watching your videos and following your advices.
