Hello Lykkers! If there's one skincare step I never skip, it's toner. I used to think it didn't make much of a difference, but once I found formulas that actually suited my skin, my routine felt so much more complete.

A good toner helps my skin feel refreshed and comfortable, and it also gives me the perfect start before the rest of my skincare.

Out of all the bottles I've finished, two always seem to find their way back onto my shelf. They each bring something different to my routine, which is exactly why I enjoy having both.

1. I'm From Rice Toner

Whenever my skin starts looking a little dull or feels like it needs extra care, I'm From Rice Toner is the first bottle I reach for. I always give it a good shake before using it since the two layers mix together into a lightweight, milky texture. The first thing I noticed was how soft and comfortable my skin felt once it absorbed. It gives me a healthy-looking glow that doesn't appear greasy, making my complexion look naturally fresh.

I also love using it when my skin feels a little dehydrated because it leaves everything feeling smooth without any sticky finish.

2. Anua Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner

Whenever my skin feels stressed or looks a little flushed, I automatically reach for Anua Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner. The watery texture feels incredibly light, making it one of the easiest toners to layer without making my skin feel overloaded.

I especially enjoy using it during warmer days because it leaves my skin feeling fresh and balanced. It absorbs quickly, so I can move on with the rest of my routine without waiting around. My skin always feels calmer and more comfortable, which is exactly what I want from a soothing toner.

I don't believe every skincare product needs to be complicated to earn a permanent spot in my routine. Sometimes it's the reliable basics that make the biggest difference. I'm From Rice Toner gives me that healthy, radiant look I love, while Anua Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner keeps my skin feeling calm and refreshed. Having both means I can easily choose the one that matches what my skin needs that day, and that's exactly why I continue reaching for them again and again.
