Hello and Welcome back 🙂

 

I want to talk about skincare today because I often get a lot of questions from friends and family and you guys as well about where to start building a simple skincare ‘routine’. I know buying skincare products can be very intimidating if you’re just starting out, so let’s talk about one of the first things (product) that I would recommend you invest your money in – a TONER.

 

 

 

I started religiously using toners (not astringents!) in my skincare routine about a year ago and it has changed how my skin feels. I’ve tried several brands, but the one that has been a staple and the one I keep coming back to is the Thayers Witch Hazel Toner. As you know, I deal with acne and so I always look for ingredients that will help soothe and heal my skin. I’ve been using the Thayers Witch Hazel Aloe-Vera Formula (Unscented version) for about a year now and it has become a favourite of mine. Read on to know why I love it so much and why I recommend you try it too 🙂

 

 

 

The Thayers Witch Hazel Toner is an alcohol free toner and has the goodness of certified organic Hamamelis Virginiana Extract (Witch Hazel) that is grown exclusively on a family farm in Fairfield County, Connecticut. Thayers markets the Aloe-vera formula as a natural treatment that helps to cleanse, soothe, tone and calm the skin. This product is made from non-distilled Witch Hazel shrub extract that will protect your skin from pollution and airborne impurities, whilst toning your skin, shrinking your pores and controlling excess oil production.

 

 

 

 

 

The packaging is so minimalist, yet beautiful. I have the 12fl oz. or 355ml bottle and I adore the little red cap! I use this toner in my morning routine, straight after cleansing, while my skin is still slightly damp. Now you can pour some of this toner on a cotton pad and swipe it across your face and neck or you can pour a few drops into your palms and pat it into the skin. I personally like to use a cotton pad first and then take a few drops and pat this toner into my skin.

 

 

 

What I love about this formula is that is UNSCENTED, so I think it will be a great one for those of you who do not like scented skincare products. It also feels very soothing and hydrating on my skin, even on days where I have inflamed, angry pimples ( i think it’s the aloe vera :)). Over the months I’ve noticed that my skin feels brighter, smoother and my acne seems to calm down after I use this toner. This formula is alcohol free, paraben free, gluten free, pthalate free and also cruelty free 🙂

 

I store my toner in the fridge, so it feels extremely refreshing and lovely when I use it in the morning or after a long day. Overall, I definitely recommend you try out the Thayers Witch Hazel Toner for your skin. I’m almost at the end of my bottle and I’m on my way to repurchase it as soon as I’m done posting this review! 🙂
