I have never been a huge user of toners but this is toner water which is entirely different to the toners I have used in the past. A store assistant explained to me that after washing your skin a lot of water is stripped from your skin and when you then apply moisturiser to your skin the first thing that is absorbed is water and this means that the rest of the ingredients in the moisturiser are not always fully absorbed (that is why the first ingredient in most moisturisers is Aqua). What this toner water does is when sprayed on your face your skin absorbs the moisturer and then when you apply a moisturiser all the active ingredients that you want your skin to absorbed are absorbed immediately. Another great thing about this toner water is that it is actually lavender and rose water (Read full list of ingredients of the Lush website). In the Lush store they has the testers literally on ice which made them extra refreshing to use and that means on a hot summer day I'll have a wonderful refreshing treat to look forward to.
