Little life hack that I learnt from an aesthetician recently: You can layer up to 7 toners/essences or even layer your 1 toner/essence up to 7 times, its a very popular Korean skincare method. It results in your skin becoming better able to absorb all of the hydrating ingredients in your serums and moisturisers. Its worked wonders for keeping my very dry and sensitive skin smooth and hydrated all day when I do this the night before.
First do your double cleanse [ oil based first then water based ] pat dry but make sure your skin is slightly damp for the first layer [ to do this I use the Avene thermal spring water ] once each layer soaks in you can add the next. Once finished applying you toners/essences you can apply serums and then moisturisers.
* With this method avoid active toners with AHAs/BHA and ones with lots of alcohol in the ingredients
*Below is my favourite toner to use with this method
