TONERS
Called variously astringents, refreshers and skin tonics, these are important for removing any remaining trace of cleansing cream. They also tighten the pores and impart a clean, refeshingfeeling to the skin. Toners can also be used as a pickup or quick cleanser during the day.
    Elderflower water, lavender water, orangeflower water and rosewater are four classic tonics still valued today for all skin types.
