While almost all of us are intimately familiar with multiple variations of facial cleansers, from mild to scrubby, moisturizers of all sorts and serums and eye creams to boot, the toner remains one of the more under-used facial care products. In order to change this, we are giving away a free toner of your choice this month, depending on your skin type (check out Restore and Refresh!). Simply add a comment to enter the drawing.
What’s so great about toners, you wonder?
For starters, they are affordable, easy to apply and incredibly refreshing!
Most toners are formulated to remove what your cleansers leave behind, reduce pores to help tighten skin and balance pH. Particularly during the warmer months of the year, toners can be kept in the fridge and applied any time to refresh the face, remove sweat, impurities and excess oils.
When applied to cotton pads, the soaked pads can be placed on the face for about five minutes in lieu of a facial. You’ll notice an instant improvement in complexion.
Toners are great for men, women and teens alike.
Good luck to all our participants and feel free to share your own tips and experiences!

I’ve always been adamant about using toners and it is very kind of you to give away one of your toners! Though I have always preferred toners with lemon extract (or a lemon ingredient), it would be wonderful to be able to try this toner out.

actually i think it’d be a great idea for everyone to use toners – i haven’t stopped using them since i started them around 3 years ago! i think its made such a difference on my skin.

But what do you do when toners without alcohol, even witch hazel, feel too tightening? And I still have blemishes to deal with too! My 40s skin can’t seem to get totally happy.

I need to start using a toner. My mother has been doing a whole routine since she was very young and, despite her urging, I never started one. She has always looked many years younger than she is and attributes a lot of it to her routine. This may get me on the right path!
Thanks!

I have been using toners for years and I find it to be an integral part of my cleansing process — not only does it make my face feel clean and refreshed, it also picks up whatever junk was not picked off by my cleanser. It’s a no brainer – a toner – A MUST HAVE!!!

Toners are very necessary in my daily facial routine and i love trying new ones!! I use Witch Hazel if that is the only thing available.

Oh I’m so excited to try one of your toners!! Sephora has a wide variety of them but none of them have ever done anything significant for me ..
