Hello Friends!
Since it's offically
summer, I wanted to share my favorite toners with you. When it's hot and humid,
as it usually is in NYC, the toner brings the cleansed skin moisture and
exfoliation that we need to keep it clean and clear. I am going to give
you a quick overview of my favorite toners.
The Body Deli
Cucumber Juice Elixir
First, my face loves
this toner. It really drinks it. There is no other way for me to explain it. It
is only $26.00 and it is made out of pure raw ingredients - ionized water,
to aloe vera, chamomile, comfrey, nettle, dandelion and some other raw and healthy
ingredients. This toner is very refreshing, soothing, and definitely hydrates
the skin. The Cucumber Juice Elixir is also perfect for cooling your skin when
you were out in the sun.
The Simply Divine
Botanicals Gypsy Rose Tea Toner
I've used this toner
for the last 6 years, and it is simply divine! It is only $29.95 and it is a
natural toner/astringent that’s based on organic apple cider vinegar.
According the company's website's description, the recipe was inspired by a 1500-year old formula made by Gypsies for
the Queen of Hungry. The blend is infused for 6 weeks. The toner is very
refreshing and is definitely effective. It works wonders on keeping oily skin
feeling fresh, but does not dry out your skin at all, so it will work if your skin is dry. I
love it in the summer.
Yonka Paris Lotion for Normal to Oily Skin Toner
This toner is
absolutely amazing. If your skin is dry, they have a similar product for
different type of skin. It is $41.00, but the bottle is pretty big and lasts
awhile. I love it throughout the year, but it is amazing in the summer, because
of its immediate and refreshing qualities that it has. It really calms the
sunburned and inflamed skin and I even use it as a compress once in a while for an
area of the skin that needs its properties asap.
I am totally
addicted to its smell, which works for both genders. Essential oils of
lavender, geranium, rosemary, cypress and thyme make this a must have in my
house.
Jurlique Rosewater
Balancing Mist
I already wrote
about this mist in one of my earlier posts here. Even though it is not
officially a toner, you spray your skin after it is cleansed or you can spray
the skin when it needs to be refreshed, so I think it qualifies to be in this
category :) It is $24.00 and it is worth every penny. It is balancing,
restorative and definitely hydrating. It's smell is to die for and I absolutely
love it!
The Body Deli Hydra
Mist
This mist is amazing
and even though it has a pump, it works well for traveling because the bottle
comes with a little piece of protection. It is very hydrating, and it is
amazing for summer's weather. It is full of nutrients and it's raw ingredients
are absolutely amazing. I even recommend using it after you apply your
moisturizer. It is a little pricey, $55.00, but I think it lasts awhile, so it
is worth it. Give this one a try, if you are looking for a very potent mist
that you can also grab when travelling - this one is perfect!
The Terressentials
Organic Flower Therapy Exfoliating Facial Toner
I found this toner
when reading some magazine or an article, when they were reviewing skin care
products. This toner won the Best Toner Award in 2008. Now, it not very accessible in NYC (even
though they sell it in some states, including CA), but I buy it online from the
website, 4 bottles at a time, since it is worth it. It is $16.75, and it is
another toner that my skin "drinks." It reduces blotchiness and
brings your skin a glow. It is suitable for normal to oily skin, but I think it
works for every skin type. This toner is really pure - hibiscus, green tea,
aloe vera juice, and various other essential oils.
Ok. If you are
looking for new toners, I hope you will find this review helpful.
