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.

I love toner! It's such a great refresh product for no make up days. I would love to trial one of these.

I love this toner! I am halfway through my first Thayers bottle of the Unscented Alcohol-free Witchhazel Aloe Vera facial toner. I use it with my nightly skincare routine. My skin feels refreshed and clean. Zero irritation for sensitive skin types. Soothing and gentle! I'm interested in trying the Thayers Rose Petal facial toner, as I've heard it's delicious for the skin. Previously I used the Garnier Rose toner as this is another popular product. I would love to compare by reviewing and testing both of these!

Thayers Rose Petal Alcohol Free Toner with Witch Hazel Aloe Vera is for people seeking glowy skin.

I think this is me!

30th March, 2023

I’ve never fully committed to a toner but coming into the winter months I know my skin needs something a little extra and this might be it! I think the lavender one would be perfect for my skin and I would love to give it a try!

Don't make me chooooooose!

I have sensitive, combination skin that is prone to being a bit dull, so all of these sound like they'd help my skin.

If I really really had to pick... maybe the lavender one?

30th March, 2023

I’ve always had a toner as part of my routine. It doesn’t feel complete without it. I’d love to try the rose petal toner

30th March, 2023

I’ve always enjoyed using a toner. It just feels like that extra level of clean. I’d like to give the unscented one a try as I have sensitive skin that one would be the best for me.

30th March, 2023

I don't currently use a toner. I have heard witch Hazel is excellent at soothing rosacea. I'd love to try the unscented one!

30th March, 2023

I religiously use a toner to get rid of the day's dirt and grime and it seems to be the only product that does so effectively. I would love to try a toner that cleans but doesn't leave my skin feeling too dry.

30th March, 2023

I’ve had mixed success with adding various toners to my routine over the years due to skin sensitivity. Yet to find one I would happy repurchase again and again. Love that these are alcohol free and would be keen to try the Thayers Unscented Alcohol-Free Toner with Witch Hazel Aloe Vera.

29th March, 2023

I haven't really ever used a toner and I'd love to try adding one to my routine. I love the sound of cucumber scent, refreshing and just what this tired solo mum needs in her nightly me time face cleanse. I feel like the witch hazel may even do wonders on some of my breakouts

29th March, 2023

I love the sound of glowy skin with smaller pores! I have used a toner before, but I didn't love it so it didn't become a part of my regular skin care routine. I'd be happy to trial any of these toners, though the Rose Petal and Cucumber sound like a bit of me!

29th March, 2023

I have tried toners in the past but never really knew what they did for my skin or whether I was using the right type so I stoped using them. I would love to try the Thayers Unscented Alcohol-Free Toner with Witch Hazel Aloe Vera as I have quite sensitive skin and dry skin.

29th March, 2023

I use a toner everyday. It is the one thing that I struggle with, not too sure if it is doing any good or not! So, in saying that, I would love to try the Thayers Rose Petal Alcohol Free Toner with Witch Hazel Aloe Vera

29th March, 2023

I have acne prone, sensitive skin so would love to try: Thayers Unscented Alcohol-Free Toner with Witch Hazel Aloe Vera is perfect for people with sensitive skin
