Goguma Beauty Recommendations: Toners and Skin Softeners

Finding a good softener or toner is essential as part of your daily three step skincare routine: Cleanse, Tone and Moisturise. A skin toner or softener can diminish pores, soften and condition your skin, hydrate it and give it an initial layer of protection before your moisturiser.

Here are some top toners...

For each of these, apply onto cotton wool and lightly sweep over face so that any remaining debris is cleaned away from your face and your skin is rehydrated and refreshed!
