When it comes to skin care products, it's safe to say toners are a bit of an after thought. Underrated. Misunderstood.
There's a beauty myth that toners were only invented to remove the soapy residue from early cleansers - a money making ploy from brands. And many a busy person will tell you the toner is the first thing they drop when the skin care routine gets a little slack.
Toners are used to purify and removes excess sebum from the skin and pores. Which can be a blessing to those with oily skin. They also leave the skin feeling refreshed and hydrated. Which is wonderful for those prone to dryness. In fact, toners have many, many uses, too many to go in to detail on, but here's a brief list:
- To hydrate
- To revitalise
- To soothe
- To balance the pH of the skin
- To relax the pores, preparing them for more effective moisturisation.
- To 'set' make up
We're putting the iconic Thayers Facial Toner to the test. Available in four varieties this product visibly improves the quality of skin, revealing glowy, moisturized skin that looks and feels healthier. The alcohol-free, gentle, non-drying toner acts like a remedy to hydrate skin all day, helping skin feel purified, balanced and renewed. Skin texture is visibly smoother, pores appear smaller, and skin tone looks more even - what's not to love?!

Yes! Lavender would be perfect for me, my skin is a bit sensitive but also in need of a good freshen up! Toner is something I used to use, but haven't for some time, so I would be interested to see how it changes things.
