Toner
A lot of woman tend to miss this step in their facial cleansing process nowadays. However, I feel that a good toner not only cleans off all the remaining residue from your facial cleanser but also cleans and polishes your skin and closes your pores after being opened by the hot water and cleanser. It should also prepares your skin for the next step which is moisturizing.. Come to think of it, these things mentioned above cannot really be seen through our eyes, so what should one expects of the toner to do?
Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner
This toner contains alpha and beta hydroxy formula which said to deliver visible results. First, it sweeps away dead surface skin and smoothes over rough, uneven patches. Then, it penetrates deep into pores to visibly reduce their appearance for clearer-looking skin. Skin is left soft, smooth and refreshed.
Step: Just need to pour some out onto a cotton pad and wipe over the face
I just bought this toner 3 weeks ago when I went to JL sale with a colleague. This was recommended by her as she has read some good reviews in the net. When I start to use this toner, I have a few breakouts but after using it for about 2 weeks, they subsided. This toner does help to control the oil on my T-zone area and it also tighten my face, not sure if this is a good thing?
Murad Clarifying Toner
Clarifying Toner eliminates excess oil and restores balance to acne-prone skin with a refreshing blend of natural botanicals. Problem skin is purified without drying or irritation as Algae Extract regulates oil production and Witch Hazel removes oil while tightening pores. Skin is left clean, refreshed and balanced.
There are also other ingredients like Allantoin which helps to calms and soothes redness and irritation, Antioxidant rich Grape Seed Extract and Vitamin E to protect against damaging free-radicals
Steps: Saturate a cotton pad and then lightly wipe all over your face
This is my favorite toner together with the Murad Clarifying cleanser when my skin is sensitive and having many breakouts. Very good at controlling acne...
Kanebo Blanchir Whitening Clear Conditioner
This lotion is under the whitening series of Kanebo. It contains Kakyoku which helps in whitening and reducing pigmentation. It also contains Saxifrage & Wheat Germ which provides moisture to the skin and enhances transparency
Steps: Saturate a cotton pad and then lightly pat it (not wipe) on your face
This toner is fragrance-free and also alcohol-free. It is quite mild and it does makes my skin look brighter and more translucent.
Sometimes I use it as "lotion mask" whereby I will soak a cotton mask with it and leave it on my face for 15 minutes.
Kose Sekkisei Lotion
A refreshing toner that penetrates instantly to get rid of dullness and promotes an even, refined skin tone. The herbal extracts provide brightening, anti-inflammatory, refining, and moisturizing benefits.
I always used this as a lotion mask, by soaking a cotton mask in it and leave on my face for 15-20 mins. I find that it does moisturizes quite well and brighten my skin. Also my skin feels very refreshing after use.
The only thing I do not like about this lotion is the smell. Not sure if it is due to the alcohol that it contains. Some people are concern that alcohol will dry out the skin, yet this lotion is said to work otherwise (increase moisture). For me, I do not mind products containing alcohol, as I felt that the alcohol together with the use of cotton pad will helps in lifting away some dead skin cells and any leftover dirt on the skin.
