Step two in many skin-care routines (5)

I believe the answer is:

toner

(Other definitions for toner that I've seen before include "Black or coloured powder used in a printer" , "Material for printer" , "Powdered pigment used in laser printers" , "Powder used in printers" , "Astringent liquid (to improve skin)" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
