Happy Friday beauties!
Let's talk toner! It's basically a skincare preparation that you do after a harsh cleansing or scrub right before your moisturizer. Each ingredient in toner has a power, choose wisely as needed. Most are water based with plenty good stuff.
I'll be completely honest, for the longest time I wasn't using toner. I knew about a few good toners on the market, even how to make a homemade one and for no particular reason, it wasn't part of my skincare routine. I started using toner about a year ago when my skin became very sensitive and it was game changer for me. Especially since I wear heavy makeup on a daily basis, it gives me that extra cleansing. Boy was I missing out.
