Important Tips
Patch Test is a Must – Before applying the toner to your entire face, test it on a small area of your inner wrist or behind your ear. Wait 24 hours to check for any allergic reaction or irritation.
Sunscreen is Essential – If you’re using Toner 2 (which contains lemon juice), always apply broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day. Lemon can make your skin photosensitive.
Clean Tools Only – Always use clean cotton pads and make sure your hands are washed before application to avoid contaminating the toner.
Avoid Eye Area – Don’t apply these toners directly on or around your eyes as the skin there is extremely delicate.
Skip if Irritated – If you have active acne, open wounds, wait until your skin heals before using these toners.
Stay Hydrated – Drink plenty of water throughout the day to enhance the effects of these toners from the inside out.
Track Your Progress – Take photos before starting and after 3-4 weeks of regular use to see the real difference in your skin!
Consistency is Key – Natural remedies take time. Use your chosen toner consistently for at least 3-4 weeks to see visible results.
