do you guys use toner? I have never used toner, simply because i didn’t understand what it does..hehe. but now that i have read the importance of toner..i know why my skin looks so dull..:p. toner supposedly restore the ph level of your skin after it gets distorted with water when you wash your face. well the skin can actually restore itself, but it’s going to take up to half an hour, with toner, the ph level is restored in an instant. not only that, toner also moisturize and exfoliate your skin, so the dead skin cells will be removed and it also tightens your pores. i’m so going to add toner to my beauty regime, but now the question is…which toner should i use? i heard the one with glycolic acid is the best. the one from ddf has that ingredients, so maybe i’ll try that one..or if you know a good toner out there..please share it here…thaank youu…=)

gue selalu pake toner after i wash my face. seger gitu loh…and yeah..it’s supposed to tighten your pores. then followed by the daily mosturizer afterwards. itu udah kayak my beauty routine everyday. kalau malem sblm tidur, gue after putting on toner, gue pake nightcream and eye cream. btw, kalo lagi ada duit, gue selalu pake tonernya estee lauder since pembersih gue pake estee, and yeah my night cream include those popular advanced night repair before putting my origins night cream. tapi kalo lagi bokek, those l’oreal toner is fine for me. it works for every skintone i guess. you may want to try that one bu. less than $10 juga hehehe…besides, l’oreal kan masih under estee’s product line. either ‘skin refiner’ or ‘pure zone’ toner is fine for me. kalo yg estee, yg ada grape extract itu tuh seger banget. atau yg apa itu namanya gue lupa..total clean gitu deh semacamnya. )
…btw, mana nih …gue lagi cengok..elo gak ada di YM..lagi bored nih gue..need some gossips and girltalk hehe..

im a hugeeee fan of toner! IMHO toner is highly important as it prepares our skin to be moisturized jd moisturizer yg kita pake itu optimal efeknya, slain itu fungsi toner jg utk clarifying, exfoliating, brightening. kl pagi, toner itu instant wake-me-up deh, seger bgt.
i was a dedicated user of clinique toner #2, it was okay but recently i converted to Lancome Tonique Eclat and i’m on my 2nd bottle now, it does a great job for me, gak ada lagi komedo, kulit lebih cerah, halus dan warnanya merata, but i wish it could be less perfumey and less stingy sih, dibanding Clinique yg ga wangi dan ga stingy.. di ingredients list-nya sih adanya propylene glycol, beda ya sama glycolic acid? kl lagi jerawatan agak parah, suka jg pake sebamed clearface toner, wanginya enak dan works well with acnes.
