Facial Toners – Frappelattes Skincare Guide • Frappelattes Beauty & Lifestyle Blog

It seems that toners are often neglected when it comes to pampering the skin. Are you one that cleanses your face then skips straight to applying moisturizer or even a skin serum without using a toner? All you need is a good toner to compliment your skin type, and cotton balls or pads to apply the toner and lift away dead skin and makeup grime left behind after cleansing.

There are toners to compliment all skin types. Who doesn’t want glowing, beautiful skin? If your skin is on the oily side, look for a toner with mattifying powders settled on the bottom – just shake to mix the skin toning ingredients and apply this toner to your T-zone and other problem shine areas. If your skin is dry, quest for an alcohol-free toner with moisturizing properties. You can find my top toner recommendations below:
