Eco By Sonya Driver, Face Tan Water
“Very clear, concise and fuss-free instructions. A lightweight toner which is has little noticeable scent which I was pleased about as usually tanning products have an unpleasant smell which lingers. Perfect texture for adding onto cotton pads and swiping over skin. Skin felt hydrated and I was able to layer the rest of my skincare products straight on top. Had a slight glow to skin after each use which looked very natural. A colleague commented that I looked well and had a glow. Only needed to use twice a week to maintain the colour and felt I needed to apply less make up. It’s designed to promote an even coloured natural complexion so you can ditch your foundation. I felt it undersold its benefits as not only did it provide a fabulous but not overly dark glow, it added a layer of hydration to skin, was quick and simple to use and didn’t have a nasty fake tan odour. The fastest, easiest and best tanning product I’ve ever used. Delivers amazing results. An outstanding product.”
“Worked really well and gave a amazing light bronze glow without looking fake. It didn’t go patchy or clog my pores like some fake tanners do. It was very easy to use like a toner and fitted in very well with my night time routine. You can’t use this everyday unless you want a very deep tan, but a few times a week gives a lovely glow to your face and I didn’t need to use as much foundation. As it didn’t clog my pores I didn’t get any breakouts. I enjoyed using it and seeing the bronzing effect. It promised to give even colour so that you could ditch your foundation. I would completely agree”

Fiini Naturally, Rose-oat toner spray
“Nice bottle with a spray application so no need to use cotton wool or cloth. Very nice fragrance with a soft rose perfume. Very refreshing on the skin. Fantastic toner as it leaves the skin refreshed and not all dry, in fact I did not need to immediately apply my moisturiser as I do with some toners. Excellent effect on my skin as a toner, felt it was really refreshing my skin after cleansing but very gentle so no tightening after use. My skin feels very comfortable and I think it would be perfect for people with dry skin issues and who avoid toner due to their traditional astringent effect. My skin felt more clarified and refreshed. It purports to nourish, brighten, smooth and brighten the skin and it does. It is more like a treatment toner than a standard toner that is part of your beauty routine.”
VERACOVA, Moisturising Toner
“The most wonderful and uplifting fragrance to wake you in the morning and revitalize tired skin at the end of the day. I really like this toner, it’s fresh and zingy and goes on so well. It takes make up off beautifully and leaves my skin feeling clean and nourished. It’s been a little pamper and I’ve used it some mornings too just to wake up my skin and my senses a bit. My skin feels brighter and I feel like it has more of a glow than at the start … I feared that this could dry my skin out, but instead my skin has felt nourished and refreshed. It’s a happy toner to use, clears make up and leaves the user feeling invigorated and clean. A brilliant product.”

jane iredale, Pommisst Hydration Spray
“This smells gorgeous, it’s so fruity. Loved the pomegranate fragrance. Spray bottle works very well to deliver a fine mist, so economical to use. Found this worked great when applied when I was having a menopausal hot flush. Left skin with a nice sheen. Have kept this in my handbag. Great to instantly cool me down. Works well over make-up. Gives skin a very natural looking glow. Refreshing and cooling.”
Odylique, Balancing Citrus Tonic
“Fresh, summery fragrance. Really uplifting and refreshing first thing in the morning. Not harsh as some toners can be. I don’t suffer with spots, but this has cleared up some ‘maskne’. Imagine it would be great to spritz on the face in hot weather for an instant refresh and cool down! Skin definitely feels different. Given that I have combination skin, some toners dry out the non-oily areas of my skin whereas this has balanced out these issues so my skin feels softer and more hydrated.”
