So.. Do you actually need a toner?

I came across this article from Huffpost that talks about the function of a toner. For me, I never really see the importance of a toner until about a year back when my bridal stylist shared with me the skincare routine that I have to adhere to. I decided to give you a shot and boy, I saw the brown tinge of stains on my cotton pad after applying my toner.. Supposed to be remnant make-up that stayed on my face despite using a proper make-up remover cleansing gel. If I hadn't used a toner after my cleansing step, I would not have seen how much make-up I have built on my skin!

Here's the article to share:
Do You Need To Use Toner? Top Derm Clears Up This Lingering Skincare Question

I am currently using two toners interchangeably: Rose Water from Perfect Potion and MDD Hydra-Infusion Onsen Dew. I kind of swear by the MDD ones. Taken from its website, it says,

Flown in directly from the hot springs of Japan. Used as a toner or skin refresher, this miracle mist soothes, tones, refreshes and plumps skin with rich nutrients and hyaluronic acid. See refined pores as a result. Your skin will thank you for it.
This bottle looks like water, if I am to describe it. I don't know about you but this gives me the chemical-less feel, as compared to other toners I see at drugstore that comprise of a bunch of chemicals dumped together in a bottle.



Imagine, hot springs water on your face everyday! I love the clean feeling on my face after using them after my cleansing step. It makes me feel that my pores are really thanking me.

Have a look of the full range of MDD Products here! I will slowly share with you more of the products that I'm currently using from their range!
