Are you looking to level up your skincare routine? Look no further!
Today, we want to shed light on the unsung hero of skincare – facial toner. Often overlooked, facial toner is a crucial step that can make a significant difference in the effectiveness of your skincare routine. Let us explain why facial toner deserves a prime spot in your beauty arsenal:
1. Restores pH Balance: Our skin's natural pH balance can easily be disrupted by harsh cleansers and environmental factors. Facial toner helps restore the skin's pH balance, creating an optimal environment for healthy skin. By maintaining the proper pH level, toner helps reduce the risk of dryness, breakouts, and skin irritations.
2. Deep Cleanses and Tightens Pores: Even after cleansing, traces of dirt, oil, and impurities can remain on the skin. Facial toner acts as a second line of defense, effectively removing any residual impurities and tightening the appearance of pores. This step not only helps prevent breakouts but also enhances the absorption of subsequent skincare products.
3. Hydrates and Nourishes: Facial toners are not just cleansing agents; they also provide a boost of hydration and nourishment to the skin. Many toners are infused with beneficial ingredients like hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, and botanical extracts that replenish moisture and promote a healthy, glowing complexion.
4. Enhances Skincare Product Absorption: Applying facial toner before your serums, moisturizers, and treatments can significantly improve their absorption. Toner preps the skin by removing any barriers, allowing subsequent products to penetrate deeper and work more effectively. This ensures that you get the maximum benefits from your skincare routine.
5. Refreshes and Revitalizes: A quick spritz of facial toner throughout the day can instantly refresh and revitalize your skin. It provides a burst of hydration, soothes any redness or irritation, and gives your complexion a revitalized appearance. It's a simple and effective way to maintain a healthy glow on the go.
Don't let facial toner remain the unsung hero of your skincare routine. Embrace its benefits and take your skincare journey to new heights.

Question:
I follow your advise of washing for 30 seconds, why do I need more cleansing?

Spray Gleem’s Super Nourishing onto a cotton call or pad and rub gently behind your ears or on your neck, look at the debris on the cotton pad and you tell you cleanse everywhere!
BTW – Toner is also a great refresher in hot weather.
