Do you use a toner?

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?!

Curious about the options available?

  • Thayers Lavender Alcohol Free Toner with Witch Hazel Aloe Vera is for people with stressed/sensitive skin.
  • Thayers Rose Petal Alcohol Free Toner with Witch Hazel Aloe Vera is for people seeking glowy skin.
  • Thayers Cucumber Alcohol Free Toner with Witch Hazel Aloe Vera people looking to cool and soothe puffy skin.
  • Thayers Unscented Alcohol-Free Toner with Witch Hazel Aloe Vera is perfect for people with sensitive skin.

And why not chat to us about all things toner.  So what do you think about toner?  Is it a necessary part of your skin care routine, or are you happy with just a cleanser?  How do you use yours?

I never used Toner until lately I tried and realized I was missing something important in the skin care. I still do not use it on a daily basis but I understand after reading this article that how Toners help in maintaining a glowy and hydrated skin. All variants look great but I think Lavendar and Rose Petal is most suitable to my skin. Thanks.

I would love to try the rose petal one. Desperately seeking glowy skin! I feel like my skin is already getting dry and its not even winter yet so it needs all the help it can get <3

I would love to try a toner, i dont think ive EVER used it solo but only in a cleanser that supposedly has toner in it also , would love to see if this make a difference to my skin - id be keen to trial Thayers Rose Petal Alcohol Free Toner with Witch Hazel Aloe Vera is for people seeking glowy skin.

I would love to try Thayers Lavender Alcohol Free Toner with Witch Hazel Aloe Vera! I always use toner, currently I use the Herb Farm's clarifying facial toning mist which is beautiful. I have sensitive skin and my skin (and whole body!) Is a bit stressed out with the crazy hours I've been working, lack or sleep and skipping out on good skin routine so this sounds perfect!

I have an on again off again relationship with toner! I haven't ever found one that it's worth sticking with. I'd love to try the rose petal toner, I bet it smells amazing!

28th March, 2023

Ohh is it terrible that I want to try this toner based solely on the packaging? I love the look of these bottles. Ok, ok, I actually would love to try this for the contents too. I'm not a big toner user, I normally only bring it out when I've got a breakout but I know I should do better. I already know how good witch hazel is for the skin but I like the sound of the one with rose petal for glowy skin, sounds perfecto. Please pick me.

I do occasionally use a toner but it sounds like I need to use it daily, love to trial and review the rose petal toner

28th March, 2023

I religiously use a toner and lately have enjoyed mixing them up a bit and trying new ones out. I'd love to try the rose toner - I can always use a bit of glow, and have absolutely loved every rose toner I've tried so far!

28th March, 2023

Would love to try the Lavender version or the Cucumber! Sounds lovely and soothing for my skin that's been a little upset lately.

Toner is one product I know I SHOULD use, but I never have. I'd love to trial the Lavender Alcohol Free with WitchHazel and Aloe Vera, my skin is stressed and sensitive working in an air conditioned office all day and recently been diagnosed with auto-immune disease. Hoping that a gentle toner will help improve things :)

28th March, 2023

I use toner sometimes, but Its something I'd like to use regularly. Id be keen on the cucumber, everything about me skin included is stressed ha!

28th March, 2023

I do use toner but have only started recently. I think it does make a difference.

I would love to try the Thayers Unscented Alcohol-Free Toner with Witch Hazel Aloe Vera, I have very sensitive skin but I'm also quite sensitive to scents as well and as much as I think my skin would desperately love the lavender one, if the scent is too strong, inwouldnt enjoy it. Although I suppose that's the point of trialing... sonalso wouldn't mind the lavender one as well. My skin is constantly dry and itchy. Would love anything that will help.

28th March, 2023

Definitely keen to try either Lavender or Cucumber as this would suit my skin perfectly. Love a good toner

28th March, 2023

Use toner daily, part of my routine
