      the 2nd step of the 3-step skincare regime
      many ppl tend to neglect this step as there are often misconceptions on the effects of toner

      uses of toner:
      `removes residue (in case ur cleanser does not do a thorough job)
      `tighten pores
      `balance the pH of ur skin
      `provides hydration
      u are advised to use alcohol-free toner

      for ppl with oily skin, invest in a good hydrating toner and u can skip moisturiser

      i want to get the skin food herb salad toner ($28) after i finished mine
      it is good for sensitive skin
      the same range as the mask that can heal my redness quite effectively when i have rashes
      but only thing is
      it is not alcohol-free

       

      how? shd i get this or stick with alcohol-free?

      alcohol-free would be the best

      alcohol will make ur skin dry in the long term
      and will speed up the aging process

      there are good alcohols and bad alcohols.

      buy both

      use depends on skin condition
      or one for morning one for night



      read ingredients list meticulously
      alcohol-free preferred

      want even cheaper one?

      get ICM rose water
      i think $3-$4 oni
      from guardian, watsons, other pharmacies.

      very basic alcohol-free toner for daily maintenance.

      for combi and/or sensitive skin, can use Rose Water + Witch Hazel




      toner do help in preventing pimples as it balances the pH of the skin
      but relying on toner alone is not enough
      it shd work together with other parts of the skincare regime

      witch hazel is safe for pimples-prone skin?

      btw..the skincare regime, isit enough if i cleanse,tone and moisture?

      another question is how u all use toner? i last time when use is pat wif cotton pat. but the cotton absorb the toner and the cotton will come off for my case. irritating…

      some said wipe?

      cleanse, tone, moisturise - everyday (morning & night)
      scrub/exfoliate - once a week
      mask - 1 to 2 times a week (1 sheet mask, 1 wash-off or peel mask)

      me use fingers (clean) to pat onto face
      if is after removing makeup, use cotton pad and lightly wipe over face
      dun have to wipe until like scrubbing toilet bowl
