Face toners, oil & creams

A toner is a water-based solution that gently refreshes and balances your skin which can be part of your skincare routine. You can use it to cleanse the skin before applying any oils, creams or balms, or simply spray it on your face throughout the day in warm weather for a refreshing, hydrating and soothing break. We offer two floral waters that can be used as face toners: chamomile water and rose water.

In addition to being fragrant and comforting, rose water is an incredibly effective skincare ally. It is nourishing and balancing for the skin, and has been used for millennia to promote a youthful and refreshed complexion. It is deeply hydrating, so it can help prevent and address dryness (whilst balancing the skin’s natural oils) and soothe any irritation. It helps maintain the skin’s pH balance. Its toning, antioxidant and antiseptic properties help protect and nourish the skin, reduce fine lines, prevent infection, enhance natural suppleness and support healing and regeneration. Our natural Rose Water Toner is a great starting point.

We would recommend a natural chamomile water toner for sensitive skin. With its gentle, delicate scent, chamomile water has a soothing and anti-inflammatory action on the skin. It is particularly beneficial for those with sensitive skin, which may be prone to redness and dry patches. It is packed with antioxidants that protect the skin and reduce blemishes, redness and signs of ageing. It accelerates cell and tissue renewal and gently tones the skin, revealing a healthy, bright, glowing complexion.

Rose water is an excellent choice for a toner, particularly for those with dry skin. Not only does it have a pleasant fragrance and soothing properties, but it is also highly effective for nourishing and balancing the skin. With a history of use dating back thousands of years, rose water is known for its ability to promote a youthful and refreshed appearance. It is deeply hydrating, helping to prevent and address dryness while maintaining the skin's natural oil balance. Additionally, it can provide relief from irritation and maintain the skin's pH balance. Rose water also offers toning, antioxidant and antiseptic properties that help protect and nourish the skin, reduce fine lines, prevent infection, and support healing and regeneration. Overall, we recommend using a natural rose water toner for dry skin for its many beneficial properties.
