Boots traditional Glycerin and Rosewater

I'm literally loving this product ( considering the fact that I am a cosmetic junkie, you'l be bumping into this phrase a lot on this blog) but really, boots traditional glycerin and rosewater does it for me.

 




Back to business, this product is a toner which is appropriately applied immediately after cleansing and just before you moisturize. lots of people have concluded that toner is a ''no-no'' for them because they feel its useless. like I always say, if it works for you, go for it.

Ingredient listing:





Aqua



Glycerin



Isopropyl alcohol

methylparaben

sodium citrate

citric acid

parfum

Eugenaria caryophillus leaf oil




It comes in a plastic bottle with minimal opening so it won't spill and although I am really loving this, I don't really like the way it makes my face sticky after use so I always apply it sparingly and wait 10 minutes before applying moisturizer.



This toner is great for dry skin especially because of its moisturising property, although some people find it a bit drying due to its alcohol content so I may not really recommend it for people with sensitive skin.

 




It also improves the overall appearance of the skin as it gently reveals smooth, soft skin as you apply over a period of time.







Here in Nigeria, it sells between 1,200 - 2,000 Nigerian naira and as usual please buy from a trusted store so as to get the desired result.





 I will definitely buy more of this in future.

Side tip:

DIY  skin toner

since I did a toner review today, I decided to leave you with this simple but equally effective toner recipe (the joy I derive from making my own products is greater than the joy I derive from purchasing them )

Cucumber Toner (Glowing skin)

cut a whole cucumber into pieces and blend together to form a paste, sieve this paste to extract the juice (I normally use a white handkerchief for this) cut lemon into two and squeeze in half of it (great for oily skin) or add three tablespoons of pure honey (dry or normal skin). pour this into a jar and keep refrigerated. This toner can serve for one week without going bad if refrigerated. 

Thanks for stopping by.......... hope to read from you soon
