Weekend Fun Giveaway July Week 2 Giveaway Entry #9
 
My search for a toner ends here! I never did follow the whole CTM routine (Yaaa..I am a noob). Then after reading a lot of stuff on how IMPORTANT toning is, I started looking out for a natural toner. I have sensitive skin and I am very careful as to what I put on my skin. After careful research (with the aid of my office computer), I zeroed in on this.

Product Description:
Facial Mists are excellent for rehydrating and freshening the skin. They help alleviate the effect of environmental pollution and daily stress.

•Tones • purifies

This hydrosol or floral water comes from the condensation collected during the steam distillation of flowers when extracting essential oils. This contains five flowers of which the Rose is naturally hydrating , Bela helps in retaining moisture , Marigold is toning , Kewda is softening and Saffron gives a glow to the skin.
• Recommended for all skin types.


Price & Quantity:
Rs.945 for 200 ml 


Key Ingredients:
Steam Distilled Rosewater, Steam Distilled Marigold Water, Steam Distilled Kewda Water, Bela Steam Distilled Water, Saffron Ext.


Experience with this Product:

Packaging: It comes in a plastic bottle with nozzle and a plastic lid. Very similar to the cleanser from the same range. If you are traveling, just throw it in with the rest of your stuff and you are good to go. The bottle is transparent too.

Colour, Consistency & Fragrance: Its golden in colour!! I can’t describe the smell but it is something which peps me up!

How it works: Again an amazing product from Forest Essentials. After cleansing my face, I spray this toner. I just love the smell. After using this for a couple of weeks, I have noticed a visible reduction in my pores. An additional bonus is that it doesn’t dry my skin☺ And my skin has a visible glow (which I attribute to the presence of saffron)

PROS:

•     Suits sensitive skin perfectly
•     Has reduced my pore size
•     Doesn’t dry out skin
•     No chemicals at all.
•     Against animal testing
•     Lovely smell
•     Very travel friendly.
•     Gives quite a nice glow

CONS:

•     Price. Price. Price!

My Rating: 4.5/5 (I have reduced 0.5 for the price)


Recommendation:
If you have some money saved up and love chemical free toners, go ahead!!


Would I Repurchase: Yes. My skin loves this.

Out of your Toner?
It is not a very big worry if you ran out of your toner. Get some rose water, refrigerate it and use as your natural skin toner. Rose water cleanses out the leftover residues and softens skin with a nice cooling effect.

Beauty Fix 3:
Quick Nourishing Lip Balm
Ran out of your regular lip balm? Leave your worry. Get yourself a small box of Vaseline. Melt it in a double boiler and add 2-3 drops of Vitamin E oil [Extracted from the capsules] to it. Allow the mixture to cool down and your lip balm is ready to use now! Vaseline and vitamin E are two great sources of moisturizes. If you need some fragrance, add any of your favorite essential oil to this lip balm. Need some tint? Beetroot is there. Pour 2 drops of raw and thick beetroot juice to it. That's it, you're all done with your homemade lip balm.

Beauty Fix 4:
Skin Brightness in a Week?
Soak poppy seeds [Khus Khus] in water for 7-8 hours or overnight. Drain them and paste them to creamy paste. Mix two teaspoons of this paste with one teaspoon of fresh cream and blend together. After cleansing your facial skin, apply this smooth cream all over your face and neck. Gently massage for 10-15 minutes in upward motion and leave on for 10 minutes or until it is dry. Wash off with fresh cold water.

Beauty Fix 5:
All-in-one Overnight Face Pack
Get some fresh green fenugreek leaves and paste them until smooth. Use this paste as a face pack before going to bed every night. This removes pimples, blackheads, wrinkles and improves the skin complexion with regular usage. If you have dry skin type, add few drops olive oil to this face pack to prevent tightening of skin.
