A Toner Treat

Happy Tuesday everyone! It’s Tara here for toner week on Certified Fabulous. I’m very excited to share my favorites with you. First off, though, I’d like to explain why it is that I like toners so much.

Toners seem to rebalance my skin. I don’t know about you, but whenever I wash my face, my skin is left feeling a bit tight and dry afterwards. It’s at this point that I like to spritz on some toner—to provide a surface that will better absorb my next (and much more important!) products like serums and creams. For this same reason, I like to apply my body lotion in the steamy bathroom immediately after a shower, when my body hasn’t lost all its moisture. And if I don’t make it in time, I’ll actually spritz toner all over my body before applying lotion!

Clearly, I’m a big toner girl. I use it every day. My all time favorite toner is Duchess Marden’s Damascena Pure Rose Water. I fell head over heels in love with this product—its beautiful packaging, its potent and immediate-mood-enhancing scent, and the way in which it perfectly rebalances my skin after washing my face, without getting it too moist…oh, let me count the ways!! It’s truly perfect…except for the price tag! I’m glad to know that such perfection exists, but unfortunately I had to find something more affordable, which lead me to Burt’s Bees Rosewater Toner. This stuff is great, and luckily half the price! I prefer a spray toner, so I actually funnel it into a spray bottle. The scent isn’t overbearing (standard problem with rose water) and it works really well.

Toner is a serious treat and can really work! Hopefully you have, or can find a good toner to fit your own skincare regimen. Please let us know if you have any questions about toners or otherwise! Otherwise, see you next week!
