Great question. Toners are designed for use on normal and combination skin. They are meant to tone, or tighten, the skin. Now if you have oily skin, then I'd recommend that you use an astringent. While similar to a toner, it is specifically formulated to remove excess oil but could be too drying for normal or combination skin.

An important point to remember is to purchase products specifically for your skin type.

Also, as an FYI:

Fresheners: Beneficial for dry, mature and sensitive skin.

Toners: Beneficial for normal and combination skin.

Astrigent: Beneficial for oily and acneic skin.

Since the winter is upon us, it is really great to have a detailed list of "to do" items to keep my face healthy, clean and clear. Thanks! A question: do you recommend the use of toner for combination skin whose dry areas become extra dry during the winter? If so, is there a specific kind of toner that is better to use on combo skin? I've read that toners are best used by those with oily skin. Thank you!
