Facial Toners

After cleansing, toners are the crucial next step of your skincare regimen to effectively ‘take the day’ off your skin. Face toners rebalance skin after cleansing and prepare the skin for a serum and/or moisturiser. 

Once you have thoroughly cleansed your face using a high-quality cleanser, apply your toner using a cotton pad, ensuring that you avoid the eye area, as this is particularly delicate. You can also use your fingers to gently tap your toner in after cleansing with a cleansing milk or waterproof make-up remover. This is an easy way of boosting the effectiveness of any serum, face oil, or moisturiser you go on to apply. Think of it as a skincare routine necessity.

Choosing the best cleanser actually depends on your skin's unique needs:

• For Oily/Combination Skin: The Purifying Toning Lotion with meadowsweet and saffron flower extracts is put to work to tighten pores of combination and oily skin types, thanks to its toning and purifying properties.
• For Dry Skin: Choose a hydrating toner like the Hydrating Toning Lotion to help boost moisture retention. This is the ultimate choice for beautiful, soft and fresh skin.
• For Sensitive Skin: Our Soothing Toning Lotion is rich in organic chamomile extract, chosen specifically to soothe and soften skin. Suitable for very dry or sensitive skin.
• For Dull/Uneven Tone Skin: If your skin lacks radiance and has dark spots, look for a toner that contains Vitamin C or niacinamide. We offer Bright Plus Dark Spot-Targeting Milky Essence, a toning lotion formulated with two brightening superfruit extracts, combined with powerful plant extracts and a vitamin C derivative. It visibly brightens and helps to improve the look of dark spots.

Yes, toners can be very beneficial for ageing or mature skin, provided you choose a modern, well-formulated product with the right ingredients. Mature skin tends to lose moisture. Toners containing humectants, such as hyaluronic acid and glycerin, help bind moisture to the skin, which can visibly plump the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Try our Purifying Toning Lotion, which is enriched with witch hazel extract and glycerin for purified and less visible pores. 

If you want a more concentrated solution, look no further than our treatment essence range. Consider our Super Restorative Smoothing Treatment Essence, which visibly smooths and replenishes skin affected by hormonal changes.
