Toner: Worth the Hype?

If you’re wondering, can you skip Toner in your skincare routine, then this email is for you.

Toner is a crucial step in helping you achieve balanced and healthy skin...

But there are a lot of misconceptions when it comes to finding the right toner and how to make sure you don’t break the bank every time you have to buy more product.

I love this story about my sister Sammy and how she had to learn this lesson the hard way, so you don’t have to.

She used to spend $200 for an 8oz bottle of toner despite me telling her many times that it wasn’t worth it...

The reason is that toner is only for removing leftover impurities and balancing skin pH; cheaper toners can do a tremendous job if they have the right ingredients, no need to buy an expensive one (and I’ll get into these ingredients in a second).

She didn’t believe me at first. She thought expensive must mean it had rare ingredients. But I explained that both expensive and affordable toner use the same ingredients because they target the same purpose.

Finally, after 6 months of me beating her over the head, she decided to listen to me and tried a toner that only cost her $25 for an 8oz bottle.

She couldn’t believe what happened…

In 1 week, this cheap toner was giving her the same results she had been getting spending 10x the money.

Now she gets the same beautiful skin, saves a ton of money, and can use all those savings for more worthwhile treatments.

So why was this $25 bottle of toner just as effective as the $200 bottle?

That brings me to the key ingredients that you can find in any toner, so you don’t have to waste money buying expensive brands that don’t have anything else your skin needs.

Those ingredients are Hyaluronic Acid and Glycerin.

The effectiveness of a toner doesn’t depend on its price but on its formulation. Both high-end and affordable toner often contain similar active ingredients, such as Witch hazel, Hyaluronic Acid, and Glycerin that provide the same benefit.

High price often reflects branding and marketing rather than the superior product quality.

Just like Sammy, you don’t have to keep shelling out ton of money for expensive toners that have nothing different from the basic toner. You just need to be sure it has Hyaluronic Acid and/or Glycerin and you can usually get that in $25 bottle.

Here are a few of my favorite toners that will help you get the same results as Sammy…

1. Thayers Witch Hazel Toner: there are some days I feel tired and my skin feel oily or dry I try Thayers Witch Hazel Toner. It balances my skin’s pH, tightened my pores, and gave me that freshing hydrated feel. Whether your skin is dry, oily, or combination, this toner is like a cool water for your face. Add this to your skincare products

2. The Ordinary glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution: this toner is fantastic for those who looking to improve skin texture and get that radiant glow without spending a fortune. I have a friend and she used to complain about her dark spot on her face. She started adding this toner to her skincare routine, within a few weeks, her skin shows improvement. This toner is great for tackling dullness and uneven skin tone. It exfoliates your skin, improve texture, and boosting radiance. Plus, it’s super affordable.

The toners above are great budget options that will help you get radiant glowing skin…
