Facial toners that deserve your attention

Facial toners that deserve your attention

Cosmetologists recommend choosing a toner based on the needs of the skin and the time of year. We tried facial toners that are suitable for summer. Meet them!

We regularly receive new items to our editorial office, which we are happy to test and share our reviews with you. Today in our regular column “Wday is testing” – tonics for the face.

Why do we need tonics at all?

Many people neglect tonics, and in vain. If you choose and use this product correctly, then it will definitely become a “magic wand” in your home care. The tonic is the second step in the daily beauty ritual. It removes the remains of cleanser, minor impurities and evens the acid-base balance of the skin after washing, and also helps the cream and serum to be absorbed. It performs quite a few functions, do you agree? Just one jar, and so many useful things!

How is tonic different from lotion?

But this is generally a sore subject for all beauty editors and cosmetologists, it seems to me. The fact is that tonic and lotion are completely different products that cannot replace each other. If you have problematic, oily skin, then you just need a lotion that you need to use after washing in order to remove excess sebum and disinfect the skin, and only then apply a toner. The lotion contains alcohol, but the tonic does not, or there is very little of it.

The main functions of the lotion:

  • Strengthen the effectiveness of the purification stage.

  • Dry pimples.

  • Shrink pores.

Taisiya Stupina, beauty editor:

 – I have capricious skin, it is difficult to find a remedy. I liked the tonic from La Roche-Posay. It moisturizes the skin well, does not tighten it, and also smells delicious! It is also important that the expense is quite economical. I will definitely buy this product again and I advise you, by the way!

Alesya Yatskevich, lifestyle editor:

 – The tonic from one of my favorite brands did not disappoint. Perhaps this is my best experience with this category of tools. The tonic copes with the declared function of moisturizing, smells pleasantly of rose and grapes, does not tighten and does not cause unexpected reactions. The product perfectly completes the cleansing process, leaving the skin soft and ready for the application of the cream. I would definitely buy it again. Especially in summer, it is an ideal skin care product in the hot season. The value for money is also pleasing.

Product Feedback

Zinaida Anastasia Anna Zabelshanskaya, editor of the “He and she” column:

 – I have a very flexible skin: clean and submissive to my desires. Therefore, I need care products not so much to make magical transformations with my face, but to get pleasure from bodily self-care. This tonic “with a bang” copes with this task. It smells amazingly sugary of a flower stand and lies pleasantly on the skin. In addition, my skin caresses the fact that I got this product for free (thanks, dear editors!). With this tonic, I feel – depending on my mood – a flower fairy from a Disney cartoon or a herbal grandmother. If you also want to feel that way, take it, you will not regret it!

Lyudmila Yankina, star news editor:

 – I must say that initially the Glam Glow brand was created for Hollywood celebrities, and this says a lot. Do you want to feel like a real star? You can’t do without this super toner! The product perfectly cleanses the skin, moisturizing it for the whole day. The only caveat is a rather harsh fragrance. But this is nothing compared to the result. And in general, just look at how mesmerizing this magical gray liquid looks. Just a find for lovers of not only beauty, but also meditation. Now, to relax, simple dimple and drink are no longer needed.

Product Feedback

Olga Petrosova, Deputy Editor-in-Chief:

 – Introduced New Line tonic into daily use, although I had previously diligently avoided using any. It seemed that the skin after tonics becomes some kind of oily, this did not happen with this tonic. It does its job well – it moisturizes, soothes the skin, and helps to reduce the production of the sebaceous glands. Of course, in addition to a day cream and in sunny weather – a product with SPF.
