My Beauty emotion : Besides smelling like a fresh oven baked cookies  ^_^ (due to the natural sweet fragrance from honey and milk), It's a fairly good body lotion. It's not sticky and it keeps my skin hydrated even if I am in a gym workout. It also helps ease my dad's eczema problem.  

Burt's Bees Rosewater Toner

Is Toner a Beauty Fad or Beauty Basic ?

It depends on how you view it. Toner is used to remove the remains of make up residue on the face and prepare the skin for the next step (which is moisturizer and serum application). It will also help to tighten pores firm the skin. In certain cases like acne/ oily skin condition, oil-controlling toner will help to reduce the production of oil by the sebaceous oil glands and also kills bacteria that causes acne.

If you are looking for a common toner that suits various needs, you can consider Burt's Bees Rosewater & Glycerin Toner.

Vegetable glycerin - also known as glycerol, an organic compound of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen with the chemical formula C₃H₈O₃. It can be made from animal fat or, in the case of vegetable glycerin, vegetable oil. It is hygroscopic (it absorbs moisture from the air into the skin). Due to its hygroscopic properties, it will help relieve dry skin problems by drawing water up from the lower layers.

Rose water - One of the main benefits of rose water is that it acts as an anti-inflammatory, soothing irritated skin, helps reduce damage done from sun exposure, a rich source of antioxidants, which can help strengthen skin cells and regenerate skin tissue. These properties make rose water beneficial to people with sensitive skin.

My Beauty emotion : Love it since the day i have it. I have never fail to put it on every day (morning and night). I only used this toner at night when i had my occasional acne (due to stress, late nights, PMS)  and my skin is moist enough to last through the night   ^_^

So whether we need a toner or not really depends the need of the skin and functions of the toner.

I would suggest the following if you are unsure if you need a toner/ when to use a toner...

1. If you have oily skin / acne prone skin - an oil control toner is necessary as it will help to control oil production

2. If you have occasional pimple (meaning only 3-4 times in a month) - avoid using moisturizer at night when you have the acne breakout. As its a sign that your skin is moisturize enough already and moisturizer will only boost more acne. Instead use a toner only at night. A good toner will be able to keep your skin moisture enough to last through the night (If you sleep in air-condition room, place a cup of water to keep the room humid enough so its doesn't dry your skin)

3. If you have dry skin - you will need a toner with nourishing/ moisturizing benefit to keep your skin moisture all time to keep wrinkles at bay as moisturizer alone may not be sufficient.

4. if you are going to a cold climate country - you may want to bring a toner along to prevent your skin from being dry and flaking. Worst case, you may even need to put on moisturizing/ hydrating mask every night while you are there (if you have serious flaking)

5. If you have sensitive skin - You will definitely need a toner to help keep the skin calm so that it doesn't itch. Look for toner that contains aloe vera, rosewater or Witch hazel extract.

It is involved a number of biological functions including helping to produce energy, neutralizing free radicals, and keeping cells both inside the body and in the skin healthy. Aging and stress can lower the amount of CoQ10 in the body, therefore reducing the ability for cells to regenerate.
