Whether the "blondes have more fun" saying is true or not, there's one fact you cannot deny: Blonde hair typically requires way more maintenance than many other hair colors (though red is right up there, too).

These days, it seems like everyone has hopped aboard the kombucha train. That's because the fermented drink is loaded with probiotics, aka good bacteria that are key for a healthy gut. But, as it turns out, putting probiotics on your face can have some benefits too.

Kombucha is also chock full of antioxidants, which help protect skin from free radical damage that causes aging. Luckily, it's easier than ever to find kombucha skin care products.

They also can target certain issues you may be dealing with, including large pores, acne, dryness, oily skin and even aging issues. Today, we're helping you determine which type of toner is best for your skin type — and we're throwing you some product recommendations while we're at it.
