Oh when I use moisturizing toners I do see a difference as my skin feels more moisturized. I’ve also found that although its not so obvious my skin does look a little better when I use a toner/softening lotion and when I don’t so I’m sticking to using If the alcohol content is too high it only just dries out your skin – does not give it any benefit.

LOL i thought it was a “healthy” looking color I don’t think Talika is available here – I’d only heard of the lash growth serum but then I haven’t been paying attention to new brands

I have got a toner that cleanses (night) and another toner that moisturises (morning).

I use Talika Balancing Lotion now as the moisturising toner. Very luxurious feeling when I pat it on!

Is Talika available in M’sia?

I think Kiehl’s would last me 2 years since I only buy toner once a year But frankly speaking, I don’t see much difference on my skin, whether I use toner or not. I wonder if the toner is no good or it’s because my skin is oily. But I’ve tried various toners before and some made my face 10x oilier eventho they contain alcohol and made my skin feel parched (which a feat by itself since my skin is oily-combo).

That’s a pretty good deal on EL! I don’t quite use it myself but its good to know there are alternatives.

Looks like we aren’t spared the approach of winter even in the tropics eh?

Hmm I now want a snuggly fleece jacket too!
