Patting on Toner (sonechko & Kabella, et.al.)

Harpa · ‎03-10-2010

Are you doing this, and how is it going? Notice any differences in your skin?

How is the flower toner? I've been using one of my green teas as well as rose water & glycerin.

I'm not sure about any deeper penetration, however, all the patting makes for a nice facial! I stay beautifully hydrated all throughout the day.

What I get a bit concerned about is the pH -- from cleanser to toner to acids to moisturizer...it's a back & forth, and I'm wondering about it.

Anyone have any thoughts?

I use Skinn moisture waters/toners and they are great!! Use them every night and then do my nightly skincare rituals. Feels good, smells good.

Thanks for asking @Harpa! The Flower toner is very nice! Smells like fermented (wilted) roses! The other two toners I've got are nice too.

I did use them a few times, and do like this patting treatment a lot, but I have this problem, as usual, with trying to squeeze other products into my Isomers routine.....

I very much enjoy many different products, when I get my hands on new ones!

Unfortunately very soon, as always, I notice, that these products are nothing like my Isomers, and from this point on, I hardly find the time to use them.....

I think, I'll do this patting facial 2-3 times a week, and do my Isomers routine the rest of time.

But yeah, toners from Glow Recipes are very good quality. My favorite is Flower Essenses.

HI @Harpa I wouldn't be concerned that a hydrating toner will interfer with using your other skincare products. In fact it will help your other products penetrate deeper. I only use Rose Water w Glycerin as a last step..

As far as the K 7 skin method, I don't feel its necessary. It depends on how often your skin needs more hydration as to how many applications.. The most I have done is a 3 skin method. Some toners are richer than others. I alway do 2 & my skin love it & feels plump & hyrdrated so it does make a difference. Before I started using Toners or an essence my skin was more on the dry side. I am normal/dry or just a normal skin type

I have Heritage Rose Petal Water which I spray & pat. I have Whasima Organics Flowers Deep Rich Essence. The Whasima is more hydrating for me when I feel my skin needs more moisture in the cold winter months. I love Tatcha Essence, that is my last step before adding any other product. I would like to add that most of the time, I pat a toner once, then pat on an Essence.
