Review: Simple Facial Toner
Saturday, September 27, 2014
I've used a lot of Simple products before - in fact I pretty much grew up using them - since I had sensitive skin when I was younger and Simple is renowned for being gentle and perfume free. I've recently introduced the bf to the brand too!
I nipped into the shop the other day to get my usual miniatures - they're great for popping into your handbag, like mini Batiste and moisturisers - and saw a Simple facial toner. Curiosity got the better of me and I ended up purchasing it :-) I had kinda figured that it HAD to be good as I am definitely one for brand reputation.
Facial toners are great and help not only to cleanse your skin but also to help stabilise the pH balance and soothe and nourish it. The added bonus of multi-vitamins makes this particular toner a must-have!
It's recommended that you use toner twice a day after cleansing and I find it best to use round cotton pads, but you can also use cotton wool balls (or tissue if you're desperate, but be careful as it can be quite rough!)
A lot of toners are criticised for being quite harsh and drying to the skin but I have naturally oily skin and felt that this was perfect for me.
Since buying this bottle, I've now used up about a fifth of it, which - considering it's only a miniature - is quite good as is therefore long lasting! After only a week my skin genuinely does feel great and super-soft. My favourite part about it though is that it is good for sensitive skin and fragrance free!
Pros:
1. Sensitive and fragrance free!
2. Doesn't 'burn' like some other toners can
3. Doesn't leave any sticky residue
4. Contains multi-vitamins
5. Isn't expensive
Cons:
1. Umm.... I can't think of any! :-o
Note: this product is also available in a full-sized bottle too!

Hey, I just read your post and I don't mean to put a downer on it but the skincare brand Simple isn't that good for you.
ReplyDeleteThere's this amazing app called skin deep where you can scan your products to check for any hazardous ingredients which gives you a score of how bad it is/why.
There's also a website where you can search for products: http://goo.gl/PG7y2W
But I prefer the app, a lot clearer and quicker. Hope this is helpful in some way. Sorry if I've ruined the blog
Oh no! I've literally been using Simple products all my life :-( that's not good to hear.. Thanks for the app recommendation, I'll try it out.
