For the longest time, I had no idea what toner did.  It just looked like expensive liquid you dab on your face and I never used it… until now! I’m a huge believer of toner.  I realized its importance when I started to experience the crazy dry skin during New York’s winter season.

A beauty rep consulted me saying that toner is supposed to be applied after you wash your face and right BEFORE you put on lotion/moisturizer.

So what is the importance of this?

In addition to helping remove any more makeup and oils, it also helps “set” your face to help your skin prepare for the moisturizer.  I seriously thought it was a bunch of hooey until I did realize a difference.  I use very foamy face cleanser and after I towel my face, I realize it’s extremely dry and “bar soap” squeaky clean.  So when I put on the toner, my skin feels looser and more breathable.  Then I put on my face lotion.  I now do this in the AM and PM and it has helped me have less elephant-like skin.

So far, this is my favorite brand.  I love anything with Aloe!
