I was wondering if anyone enjoys using toner as part of their face-care routine. Personally it is something I hate spending money on, but quite enjoy having. For me it serves two purposes, one is if I didn't manage to slap cream on right after washing my face or getting out of the shower, it relieves the tight feeling on my skin more so than cream alone. Also I imagine that going over my face with a cotton pad may provide some gentle exfoliation or stimulation to keep the skin happy (like a mini-massage), and I have trouble keeping up a real exfoliation routine due to hectic morning and evening routines. I think I have read in several places that toner is not really necessary, although I also read it restores the pH of the skin after cleansing. I don't know. But for me it makes my skin feel better and helps me avoid using too much moisturizer (to combat the tight feeling) that causes me to break out.
