Following your cleansing ritual,
a well prepped and moistened
skin encourages better absorption
of your topical beauty serums,
face oils and moisturisers than if
you were to apply your beauty
products to a dry skin. This is why
a toner, lotion or facial mist is a
step that should never be missed
in your daily skincare regime.
Various application methods can
be utilised: using cotton pads or
simply pressing directly into the
skin using the palms of your hands.
Toners also host an array of
benefits: from assisting in the
removal of excess makeup and
impurities, to softening, balancing,
hydrating and comforting skin.
Toners can be used as an
instant pick-me-up throughout
the day and are an essential
handbag and travel item with their
moisture-binding skin properties.
Or as a sensory skin hydration
boost at the office or at the beach.
Here is the list of must-have toner
products to incorporate into your
daily beauty regime.

to instantly refresh and encourage a
smooth, clear complexion. Targeted
