One of the best ways to adhere to a skincare program is to adapt it as a daily ritual, making it something that you enjoy to do. Removing your makeup after the end of a long day is a perfect way to unwind and check in, you know, self care. It’s’s easy to splash off cleanser and call it a day, but what about really treating yourself? Incorporating a beauty water, essence or toner is a great way to extend your skincare routine, because they more often than not enhance the products that follow. Here are some of the products we are loving as of late.

a beauty water Tip

Don’t apply beauty waters with a cotton pad, rather, apply a few drops to the palm of your hand and press the water into your skin This approach only uses the amount that you apply in your hand (read, no waste here) and it’s better for the environment.
