Lykkers, I love trying different toners, but milky toners have become my favorite because they add hydration without making my skincare routine feel heavy.

Even though I enjoy both of these products, I don't use them the same way. Each one fits a different part of my routine, and that's exactly why I keep both on my shelf. Depending on the time of day, one always makes more sense than the other.

1. Rhode Glazing Milk

Whenever I'm getting ready to wear makeup, this is almost always the toner I reach for first. It gives my skin an instant boost of hydration and leaves it looking soft and bouncy, which helps create a smoother base for makeup. I also love the healthy glow it leaves behind. My foundation applies more evenly, and my skin looks fresh without feeling greasy. On days when I want my makeup to have that naturally radiant finish, this product rarely lets me down. It's become one of those products I don't like skipping before a full makeup look.

2. I'm From Rice Toner

At night, my routine is a little different, and that's when I usually pick the I'm From Rice Toner. The lightweight texture feels comfortable on my skin and layers beautifully with the rest of my evening skincare. I appreciate that it works well alongside my serums and moisturizer without making my routine feel too heavy. It leaves my skin feeling hydrated and calm, and I've never had any issues combining it with my other products. It's a simple step that fits naturally into my nighttime routine.

I've realized that the best skincare routine isn't about using the most products—it's about using the right products at the right time. That's exactly why both of these milky toners have earned a permanent place in my routine, and I enjoy every drop of them for completely different reasons.
