Just introduced Mr Smeg into the cleanse/tone/moisturise routine.

He was VERY thorough and seemed to enjoy himself.

i have only been cleansing and moisturising. What does a toner do?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Technically you don't have to do it, but it helps get a deeper clean and allegedly helps restore the PH balance and preps the skin for moisturiser

If you wear make-up or work outside or work where there's a lot of dust and dirt or have oily skin then it's a good idea to use toner but if none of this apply to you then you really don't need to.

it's oily and dry at the same time. I guess that applies to me.

Then I would just apply it to the oily bit because it can dry out your skin. It's important to get one that's suited to your skin.

It's nice having a little routine

My baggy eyes are beyond repair, but I tell myself that my daily post-shower moisturise is helping somewhat
