I personally consider cleansing & toning one of the most important steps in a skin care routine, specially if you wear makeup often or have oily skin. That being said, a good cleanser which rids the skin of all impurities without causing dryness or irritation is a must.
1) Banila Co. Clean It Zero Original & Resveratrol - 7g x 2ea/ Sample size
This product is often raved about by many bloggers and youtubers. Both the original and resveratrol formulas have the same consistency - in the container, it has a waxy, lip balm like texture, but once it is massaged on the skin, it immediately melts into an oil like consistency breaking down all the makeup and impurities. Too bad Memebox did not include the full size product instead. :(
Product Description:
This makeup remover goes on as a sherbet-like balm and transforms into a silky oil that effortlessly dissolves makeup and sunscreen. Its non-greasy, gentle formula made from papaya, acerola, and herbal extracts cleanse thoroughly without dehydrating the skin.
How to use:
Take out the formula and gently massage into skin. Rinse off with water or wipe away with a tissue.
2) Enesti Yuzu Foaming Cleanser - 120ml/ Full size product ($14)
This cleanser has a pleasant citrus scent and after working it on the palm of my hand, it transformed into a rich, dense foam. My skin felt super refreshed after using the Banila Co. Clean It Zero makeup remover followed by this cleanser.
Product Description:
A foam cleanser made from mineral-rich hot spring water and packed with citron extracts and citron seed oil, this product thoroughly cleanses deep into your pores yet delivers rich moisture, leaving skin glowing with a natural translucence.
How to use:
Use a cleansing oil to remove makeup first. Then, lather the foaming cleanser to create enough foam and gently massage it over your face.
3) A;T Fox Tea Toc Water Clear Tablet - 4g/ Full size product ($2)
This product appears to work like a toner. Though it is unclear to me how much water it is needed to dissolve the tablet. Also, I wonder if the solution can be divided and saved in a bottle for multiple uses. One time use seems a bit of a waste to me.
Product Description:
A tea bag for your cleansing routine! When the tablet melts in warm water, the pH level becomes 4.9, the optimal level for the skin, to give you the gentlest deep-down cleansing experience. The green tea infused tablet will detox and deep clean the skin while also soothing irritated skin.
How to use:
Remove makeup and impurities first. Drop the tablet into a bowl of water and wait until fully dissolved. Gently pat your skin with the water. Do not rinse afterwards.
4) Neogen Code9 Glucose Skin - 250ml/ Full size product ($26)
I found this toner to be lightweight and at the same time moisturizing. Instead of using a cotton pad, I like to spray the product directly on my skin just like a facial mist. This will be excellent for the summer as a quick pick me up.
Product Description:
A lightweight toner for instantly hydrating and rejuvenating the skin in the very first step of skin care. Naturally fermented glucose complex deeply soothes, replenishes, and firms up dry, aging skin for a more youthful complexion.
How to use:
Wet a cotton pad with the toner and gently pat it all over clean face and neck.
5) Mizon Cotton Shower Sheet Essence - 55ml/ Full size product ($7)
Randomly selected from For Dry Skin, For Oily Skin
The variety I received is for Dry Skin, exactly the right one for my skin type. Woo-ha! The package contains tiny sheets soaked in essence and they can be wiped all over the face as a toner or left on the skin for a little longer just like a sheet mask. I like that the package is resealable so the remaining sheets don't get dried out.
Product Description:
Cotton Shower Sheet Essence is a small pack-like sheet soaked in rich nutrients - spa water, shea butter, and witch hazel - and it can be used as a first step toning sheet or placed over dry patches as a smaller version of moisturizing sheet masks. The one for dry skin types contains soothing, moisturizing, and nourishing agents while the one for oily types offers sebum control and anti-wrinkle effects as well.
How to use:
Wipe over cleansed face as a toning sheet or place it over dry, sensitive areas of your face until the essence is well absorbed.
6) Charmzone Ginkgo Cleansing Tissues 10 sheets - Deluxe Sample
I am usually not a fan of makeup wipes because I don't think they are as effective as other types of makeup removers out there. However, I have to admit that sometimes these can come in handy, especially when traveling by plane where we are not allowed to carry much liquid.
Product Description:
Easy to carry around, disposable cleansing tissues enriched with nutrients from one of nature's oldest plant - ginkgo tree. Its nature-friendly formula is gentle to all skin types and it effectively wipes away all traces of makeup residues and skin impurities.
How to use:
Take 1 sheet and remove lip & eye makeup first. Then gently wipe it all over the face.
I love toners and I can't live without them. What about you? Do you think they are essential?
