The Advantages or NOT That Facial Toner Can Have for YOU!

Facial Toner.jpeg
Are you sure that you really need a facial toner or are you just accustomed to using one out of habit?


For years we have been lead to believe that facial toner is a must for every skin type.  Yet, does this still hold as true as it once was?

Originally, a toner was formulated to deep clean the pores and restore the complexion after cleansing to its former natural pH level since the process of washing with a bar of soap can strip away the beneficial acid that is normally on the skin.  When the complexion is robbed of that slight acidity that it needs, the skin is left unbalanced and vulnerable to bacteria that can cause breakouts and moisture loss.  Too much alkaline on the skin’s surface also means that it is less protected from damaging sun and environmental substances that can enter the dermis and find their way into the epidermis to speed up aging. 

However, skin care products have advanced significantly over the years.  As a result, our dependency on toners has also changed with these new developments in how we are made to care for our skin.  

According to some dermatologists, people with normal or dry complexions don’t really need a toner as long as they exfoliate regularly and use a non-stripping cleanser that won’t play with the skin’s pH levels.  They recommend that the skin's pH level stay between five and six to keep it healthy.  On the other hand, those with oily complexions and acne should use a toner.

This is not to say that your complexion can’t benefit from the ingredients in various types of suitable toners, it is just not as an essential step for the complexion’s health as it once was.

I started my love affair with organic rose water while in college.   I discovered it gave my slightly oily complexion dewy freshness when I spritzed that really made a striking difference with or without a moisturizer or to set my makeup throughout a long day.   Though some years have passed and now my complexion is on the dry side, I never stopped using or believing in the beauty power behind rose water.  

When Tammy Fender's Bulgarian Rose Water unexpectedly arrived at my door, I was surprised but happy to have the chance to test this holistic skin care product out without any hesitation!  Although I have never tried any of the famed aesthetician's all natural line that started at her spa in Palm Beach with custom formulations to meet the needs of each skin type, I couldn't wait to get started.

The heavenly aroma of rose petals surrounds you even through the closed bottle.  And yet, this sweet scent is only just the beautiful beginning of what is ahead.  Now I could have just spritzed and refreshed my complexion on the spot, but I cleansed my face first and then sprayed some on a cotton ball before swiping over my still damp face.  Ah, the exquisite rose fragrance was aromatherapy in itself and left me with a blissful feeling while I dabbed to tone my skin.

Instantly, my complexion felt soothed and soft like velvet.  This extremely gentle product provided the perfect base once I applied my anti-aging serum and brought with it radiance and a bloom to my cheeks, which increased daily.  Whenever my skin felt extra dry or to refresh my makeup, I gave myself another fragrant treatment. 

If my face could talk, it would say I am happy--just look at me!  After all, you will be stealing the potent energy from a rose from what Tammy Fender's Bulgarian Rose Water will do for own face for keeping it moist, softer, and revitalized. 

Honestly, I have used countless bottles and brands of rose water.  In my opinion, this one is incredible.  You might call this face food to feed a hungry face that may be starving from dull, lackluster skin.   A 6.7 fl. oz. bottle retails for $65 and does go a long way.  

Try Tammy Fender's Bulgarian Rose Water for yourself or give one as a gift this holiday season and then you'll understand why I love it so!
