My search for a toner ends here! I never did follow the whole CTM routine (Yaaa..I am a noob). Then after reading a lot of stuff on how IMPORTANT toning is, I started looking out for a natural toner. I have sensitive skin and I am very careful as to what I put on my skin. After careful research (with the aid of my office computer), I zeroed in on this.

Product Description:
Facial Mists are excellent for rehydrating and freshening the skin. They help alleviate the effect of environmental pollution and daily stress.

•Tones • purifies

This hydrosol or floral water comes from the condensation collected during the steam distillation of flowers when extracting essential oils. This contains five flowers of which the Rose is naturally hydrating , Bela helps in retaining moisture , Marigold is toning , Kewda is softening and Saffron gives a glow to the skin.
• Recommended for all skin types.


Price & Quantity:
Rs.945 for 200 ml 


Key Ingredients:
Steam Distilled Rosewater, Steam Distilled Marigold Water, Steam Distilled Kewda Water, Bela Steam Distilled Water, Saffron Ext.


Experience with this Product:

Packaging: It comes in a plastic bottle with nozzle and a plastic lid. Very similar to the cleanser from the same range. If you are traveling, just throw it in with the rest of your stuff and you are good to go. The bottle is transparent too.

Colour, Consistency & Fragrance: Its golden in colour!! I can’t describe the smell but it is something which peps me up!

How it works: Again an amazing product from Forest Essentials. After cleansing my face, I spray this toner. I just love the smell. After using this for a couple of weeks, I have noticed a visible reduction in my pores. An additional bonus is that it doesn’t dry my skin☺ And my skin has a visible glow (which I attribute to the presence of saffron)

PROS:

•     Suits sensitive skin perfectly
•     Has reduced my pore size
•     Doesn’t dry out skin
•     No chemicals at all.
•     Against animal testing
•     Lovely smell
•     Very travel friendly.
•     Gives quite a nice glow

CONS:

•     Price. Price. Price!

My Rating: 4.5/5 (I have reduced 0.5 for the price)


Recommendation:
If you have some money saved up and love chemical free toners, go ahead!!


Would I Repurchase: Yes. My skin loves this.

I had heard a lot about Forest Essentials and was very tempted to get at least 1 product. Also I realized that my current cleanser was hardly doing its job and leaving me oily faced and dull:-(. So after a lot of fighting with my debit card and my conscience, I finally got my hands on this ‘wonder in a bottle’.

Product Description:
The first rule of Ayurvedic skin care is cleanse, tone and nourish. The secret to proper cleansing is to remove dead cells and toxins, clear clogged pores and clean make-up without stripping the skin’s natural oils and moisture content.
• Tones • Purifies • Adds glow
Pure raw honey, containing vitamins B and C along with active enzymes, hydrates and softens the skin. Natural rosewater tones the skin while balancing lemon oil cleanses and purifies it. Nutritious royal jelly and bee pollen nourish the skin and add a vibrant glow. Suitable for all skin types.


Price & Quantity:
Rs.875 for 200 ml


Key Ingredients:
Steam Distilled Rosewater, Lemon Juice, Organic Honey, Royal Jelly, Nagkesar, Anantmool, Kumud.
Nagkesar:  It is used as an astringent and enhances complexion
Anantmool: Known as Sarsaparilla. It is used to treat skin disorders and as a blood purifier and general detoxification aid.


Experience with this Product:

Packaging: It comes in a plastic bottle with a pump dispenser and a plastic lid. Perfect for travelling( I just put this in my handbag a couple of days ago and it hasn’t spilled. Touchwood) Also the bottle is see through so you can keep a track of how much you use.

Colour, Consistency & Fragrance: It’s the colour of honey (obviously!!). Consistency is neither thick nor runny.
And the fragrance is TO DIE FOR. It smells of honey and rosewater( Aaaaaah heaven!!)

How it works: I am in love with this cleanser. It works perfectly for my sensitive skin. One pump and my face is clean and glowing. It doesn't dry out my skin. I have the habit of washing my face often and this keeps my face fresh. Apply a small amount on wet skin and massage it in small circular motions. Rinse with water and voila! Your face glows.

PROS:

•     Suits sensitive skin perfectly
•     Doesn’t dry out skin
•     No chemicals at all.
•     Against animal testing (Yay animal lovers)
•     Very travel friendly.
•     Heavenly smell
•     Hygienic since it comes in a pump dispenser
•     Gives quite a nice glow
•     One bottle comes for atleast 2 months
•     No lather
•     No need for a moisturizer :)

CONS:

•     Price.
•     Lather lovers might feel that it doesn’t do its job.

My Rating: 4.5/5 (I have reduced 0.5 for the price)


Recommendation:
This cleanser would suit all beauties. It's very gentle on the skin and doesn't dry out your skin. Only negative is the exorbitant price but 1 bottle comes easily for a couple of months.


Would I Repurchase: Yes. But I might go for other variants. I got this from their official website. You can also purchase it from Urban Touch.

Hope you guys liked it :) Do let me know how it fared with you.
