Airconditioning, makeup, too much computer time, pollution has left my skin parched and often it gets dry. I was never happy with toners as most contain alcoholic astringent which dries out my skin further. Rose water worked well for me but I wanted something more quenching. I brought the Forest Essentials Panchpushp Facial Toner on a whim to try something natural and lo! I discovered my HG toner.
