Build a simple daily face care routine by layering toner before lotion. Follow these easy steps for balanced, hydrated skin from face to toes.
Quick answer
Apply your face toner first, while skin is still slightly damp, then follow with a moisturizer like All Over Lotion. This order helps lock in hydration and balance skin without feeling heavy. Keep the routine simple: cleanse, tone, moisturize, and you're done.
Why the order of toner and lotion matters
Toner preps your skin by removing any lingering residue and delivering a light layer of hydration. Moisturizer seals that hydration in. If you apply lotion first, it can block the toner from absorbing properly, so you miss out on its balancing benefits. The right sequence ensures each product does its job.
What to look for in a toner and lotion
Choose a toner that fits your skin's needs. For a gentle, floral option, Face Toner is made with organic botanical ingredients and antioxidants that leave skin fresh and balanced. For moisturizer, All Over Lotion is formulated for sensitive skin with aloe, plant oils, and organic rose water—no essential oils—so it's gentle enough for face and body. If you need extra moisture on lips or hands, Vegan Lip Balm is a multipurpose balm that can be used on any dry spots.
Step-by-step daily routine
- Start with a clean face: Use a gentle cleanser to remove dirt and oil. Pat skin dry with a clean towel, leaving it slightly damp. Checkpoint: Skin should feel clean but not tight or stripped.
- Apply toner: Spritz Face Toner directly onto your face or apply with a cotton pad. Avoid the eye area. Let it absorb for a few seconds—don't let it dry completely. Common mistake: Using too much toner or waiting until skin is bone-dry before moving on.
- Lock in moisture with lotion: While skin is still damp from the toner, smooth All Over Lotion over your face and neck. Use upward, gentle strokes. You can also apply it to your body if desired. Checkpoint: Skin should feel soft and hydrated, not greasy.
- Spot-treat extra dry areas: If your lips, hands, or cuticles need extra care, dab on Vegan Lip Balm. Reapply as needed throughout the day. Next step: Use this routine morning and night for best results.
