Toner
-
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-freehow? shd i get this or stick with alcohol-free?
-
so wat brand u all using?
-
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.

wah fireice u r a great help to those who r lazy to go search for skin products u noe? u oso provide pictures.. anyway fireice can toner help to reduce n prevent pimples? i worry later use toner pimples pop out. the rosewater is drying? i have combination-sensitive-pimples prone skin. so u recommend HH or rosewater?
-
I don't know why but after i used my ettusais toner my face has became more oily instead.
-
then i think is too strong for u or too rich.. coz toner usually after putting shld feel refreshed tho i never use toner one.. coz everytime see my sis n mum put no oily. or u put too much? TehJarVu can post on how is the HH toner after u use?
-
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 -
use palms of both hands oso can right?
-
u wanna use ur feet oso can
-
lol serious la..can right? coz im learning how to use. so palms oso can right
-
fireice no topics on face moisturiser?
