There are those of us who are devoted to using toners, and then there are others who think of it as just one more step they can do without. You just have to try one to see the difference in your own face. A bottle of toner lasts for months and months and is a treatment in itself.
I can tell you personally why I like my toner: I know it removes any residue left over from cleanser, and although my face feels clean and clear after washing, my toner makes it feel cool and calm, ultra smooth and the smell is refreshing and soothing to me personally. (I use our Vital Hydrant, which is a light gel and has a nice moisturizing effect. Being a gel, I don't waste any).
Picking the right toner for your skin type or problems is important because the ingredients can add to the healing process if you are prone to breakouts, and they add to the moisturization process if you have dry skin. I do feel you can see the difference in your skin when you wash, tone and moisturize instead of just slapping on moisturizer. It just seems to make any product you use next, work better. You have to experience it yourself. On hot humid days in the summer, I sometimes switch and spray my face with Ginseng Mineral Toner for the cooling effect. A bottle of toner is inexpensive, lasts for months and months. and is a treatment in itself. Since my products are botanical without harsh chemicals, only fatty-acid alcohols are used, which are very mild and moisturizing.
I buy a toner for normal or mature skin, on the dry side: Vital Hydrant Toner - $22.00
If you have combination skin with breakouts, or oily skin, use: Herbal Astringent - $14.00
A toner that's good for all skin types is the Ginseng Mineral Toner -$14.00
Look to the right side of this blog for TONERS AND ASTRINGENTS. You'll find prices and explanations of all products.
