Welcome Lykkers! I used to think toner was one of those skincare steps that didn't really matter. I'd use it for a week, forget about it for a month, then randomly add it back into my routine again.

But after finding a few toners that my skin genuinely enjoys, I've completely changed my mind.

A good toner can make my skin feel fresher, smoother, and way more prepared for the rest of my skincare routine. Lately, these two have been sitting front and center on my shelf.

1. Finally Found You Toner

This is the toner I tend to reach for when my skin feels tired and a little out of balance. The texture is lightweight and refreshing, so it never feels like I'm adding an unnecessary step. As soon as I pat it onto my skin, everything feels calmer and more comfortable. What I really like is that it layers well with the rest of my routine. Some toners disappear instantly and don't seem to do much, but this one leaves my skin feeling hydrated without any stickiness.

2. KALARA Positively Radiant Skin Toner

Whenever my complexion starts looking a little dull, this is usually the bottle I pick up. There's something about it that makes my skin look fresher and more awake. Not in an overnight miracle kind of way, but in that gradual "my skin has been looking really good lately" kind of way. I especially enjoy using it in the morning because it gives my skin a nice refreshed feeling before I move on to serums and moisturizer.

These toners are very different, but that's exactly why I like having both around. The Finally Found You toner is my comfort pick whenever my skin feels like it needs hydration and balance. The KALARA toner is the one I gravitate toward when I want my skin to look a little brighter and more refreshed. Honestly, I never expected toner to become one of my favorite skincare steps, but products like these have completely changed my opinion.
