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.

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.

Rashes Prevention & Cure

No worries.. Cure is on the Way...!!!

I am sure once in a life time, we have come to experience rashes (especially on the upper thigh) due to sweat and skin reaction to clothing material / residue from the washing detergent. Especially during pregnancy, women will tend to experience rashes more often due to excess sweating. 

According to Wikipedia "A rash is change in skin that affects its color, appearance or texture. A rash may be localized in one part of the body, or affect all the skin. Rashes may cause the skin to change color, itch, become warm, bumpy, chapped, dry, cracked or blistered, swell and may be painful"

It has antimicrobial properties, which means it actually discourages the growth of some bacterial and fungal microbes that attack the skin. In addition, the chemical composition of jojoba closely resembles that of the skin’s natural sebum, so it is easily absorbed and rarely causes allergic reactions, even in the most sensitive individuals
