I discovered the importance of using toner as a part of my skincare routine only a few years ago. My very first toner was from L’Occitane. It was not my best choice I know. And then I bought a Mario Badescu rose toner, not good either. And the worst is that I didn’t feel like they were doing any special favors to my skin.
Later I decided to make my own toner using apple cider vinegar. This one actually help my face to clear out, and even though I was already used to the smell, I find it sometimes caused a rash, so I stopped using it.
So, needless to say, I had to find a good toner. And just as I was doing my research for a good quality natural and effective toner, Esteli was kind enough to send me one of their products for a review, and surprise! It was a toner…! It comes in a really cute green glass bottle that sprays a fine mist that smells really nice and subtly (and deliciously) of roses. I use it every am and pm after cleansing my face and before applying my serum.
I have found that it leaves my skin hydrated and plump, and it’s no surprise since it has so many good ingredients such as:
C O C O N U T W A T E R . powerful anti-aging and anti microbial. Contains cytokines that encourage cell growth and activation.
R O S E . helps treat acne prone skin and helps reduce redness on your skin. Contains vitamin C that can help protect skin from sun damage and the oils help lock moisture. It is also a natural astringent and helps tighten pores.
H I B I S C U S . Can increase skin elasticity and combats the aging process by firming and lifting your skin. It evens skin tone, is rich in antioxidants and enhances the skin’s ability to retain moisture.
A L O E . used for treating sun damaged skin and contains powerful antioxidants. Naturally improves the skin’s firmness and keeps it hydrated.
So, as you can see, this is a delicious cocktail that keeps your skin hydrated and moisturized. I have been using it as I said before, during my skincare routine, but also as a setting spray after applying makeup and also when I feel like my skin is too dry, it is the perfect pick me up and I actually want to get a smaller bottle that I can keep in my purse for instant hydration, which I’m not going to lie, I need more often than not. Every time, before applying I give it a good shake so that the ingredients can mix together. There’s a build up at the top of the bottle on mine, but it does say in the instructions to shake it before use, and this is not really a big deal.
I definitely do recommend this toner, I love that all the ingredients are so good for your skin and you can tell. My forever delicate skin is loving this product, and along with the rest of the products I’m using right now, I didn’t even have a problem when traveling, which is where my skin usually breaks out like crazy.
This toner comes in a 2 oz bottle and you can find it at Estelibody.com for $18 they do have a few stockists so make sure to check that page in case its in your area.
Next, I am really curious to try the Flora polish face mask and the Buff exfoliating grains, I need to find a good exfoliant product that is not very aggressive and this one looks perfect.
