How do you apply your toner (cotton ball, round?)

[lglala84]

I use cotton balls to apply my toner:icon_smil

I use a round but I think a cotton ball just soaks up too much. But they're not bad if it's the only thing you have...

i don't use toner.. i've heard it dries out your skin

I just use regular cotton balls.......they're are cheap and works great.

I have a stockpile of Johnson & Johnson's Pure Cotton Rounds.

i use rounds. Try THE BODY SHOP. when they go on sale they are like 100 for no more than two dollars. I just by like two or three packs twice a year. I dont use toner everyday, it dries too much, and sometimes stings horribly. Does anyone here use witch hazel? how is that?

 

[KathrynNicole]

My mom does. She seems to think it works. :wacko:

Could someone please post a link to the Body Shop cotton rounds. I'm unable to locate them on their site. Thanks in advance for your help + time! :flowers:

Edit: Nevermind. I found them.

Hi,

When I use Dermalogica's Multi Active Toner, I just spritz it on my face. If I use Repechage's T-Zone balance toner, then I use a cotton round slightly dampened with water.

Stupid question... What exactly is toner for and when are you supposed to use it? I have some and usually use it before I apply makeup... but I'm sure I'm using it at the wrong time /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Oooh okay thanks. Sorry, I'm a little slow :wassatt:

I think applying toner with fingers/spray is a good toner-saving idea but if toner's job really is to remove last traces of cleanser/MU/dirt does that mean that it really should be done with cotton? I'm using a glycolic acid toner at the moment.

Isn't also used to close your pores after cleansing?

No toner is a must! It brings your skin back to its normal pH balance and removes any residue that did not come off during the wash. When the skin is brought back to a normal pH Balance then it protect itself better and functions properly.

P.S.... I spray my toner on. I would not be so sure that I would use fingers. The less you touch your face for any reason, the better.

I use cotton rounds. I've never had any problem with cotton traces. I use Walgreen's Perfection brand (store brand).

Thanks, Kim! I wanted to make sure.
