Toner is a very important addition to your everyday skin routine. Used after a cleanser, it helps minimise pores, cleanse the face and remove oil. As everybody’s skin is different, it’s important to buy into a brand that will not only improve your skin’s overall look, but will work with your skin type. Here are three completely different toners on three completely different budgets, helping you choose the right one for you and your purse!

Boots Essentials Toner - £1.42

Some people are a bit snobby when it comes to company’s ‘own’ brands and wouldn’t touch them with a barge pole. I’m the complete opposite; I’ll tend to lean towards the cheaper products as I don’t particularly see a massive difference… Well, that and the fact I’m a massive cheapskate.

This cucumber infused toner comes from the Boots Own skincare range. Whilst the toner is kind to the skin, it’s terrible for removing dirt and will take a good few applications before your skin is squeaky clean and make-up free.

Best For: Those who want to try and get into a skincare routine on a pocket-change budget. This would also be best for those who don’t wear make-up.

Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Cleanser - £2.99

No one wants to get spots, ever. Whilst it can be a bit daunting with the amount of spot fighting products on the market, it’s important that you get one that caters to your exact needs, otherwise, heaven forbid, you find yourself ending up with more spots than before.

This product is heavily alcohol based, meaning it can be very harsh on your skin. Begin by using it every other day until your skin adapts to it. The toner excellent for making your skin feel clean and refreshed. Did I notice a change to my blackheads? Unfortunately not, but I did really love how this toner made my skin feel.

Best For: Those with problem skin who are prone to a bit of dirt on their face.

No 7 Soft and Soothed Gentle Toner - £8

No7 has always been a luxurious brand for me. My mum has sworn by it for years, therefore it’s all right in my eyes. This toner is very gentle to the skin and leaves it feeling lovely and soft, making it perfect for all skin tones. The selling point for this product is that its alcohol free, meaning this product avoids drying out the skin, letting it feel supple and radiant all day long.

Best For: Those who like higher end brands or have sensitive skin. Also if you happen to have a spare £5 off No7 voucher, it wouldn’t hurt to add this toner to your collection.
