BUYING GUIDES
What should I consider when I choose a toner?
Toners come in formulations for all skin types: oily, dry, dehydrated, normal and sensitive. - You can’t go too far wrong in selecting one; they are clearly labelled.
Toners are available in two kinds of dispensers:
Bottle:
When you use a toner in a bottle, you simply apply the toner from the bottle to a cotton pad and wipe the pad over your skin. This combination of bottle and pad is excellent for an oily skin or if you wear a lot of make-up. The toner and pad combination wipes away any excess oil and residual make-up that you may have missed when cleansing.
Spritzer:
When you use a toner in a spritzer, you close your eyes and simply spritz the skin — a fine spray will come from the nozzle. You then pat the skin dry with a tissue. A spritzer is ideal to keep in your handbag or travel bag if you’re the kind of person who likes to freshen up your skin during the day. Most spritzers can be used over make-up. You’ll be able to spritz wherever you are without fuss.
Making a final choice:
If you love the idea of a spritzer just look out for toners formulated for your skin type that come in a spritzer dispenser.
If you love a bottle dispenser the same goes: look for non-spritzer bottles that are easy to apply to a cotton pad.
Pssst … You can cheat and get the best of both worlds! You could purchase a spritzer and simply spray your toner onto a cotton pad and wipe over your skin thoroughly when you feel you need it. You can then spritz to freshen up at other times in the day. Who says you can’t have it all?
