How to use

Step 2: Toner Nourishing Milky Toner

How to use a toner

After cleansing, apply toner to a cotton pad and gently stroke over face and neck. Do not rinse. Follow with the rest of your morning or evening skin care routine. For daytime, finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 30 or greater.

Here's a step-by-step of your morning & evening skincare application.

Step 1: Cleanser

Wet your face and apply a small amount with gentle, circular motions. Rinse well. To remove heavy makeup, repeat or use with a clean, wet washcloth.

Step 2: Toner

With your fingertips or a cotton pad, gently apply over the face and neck. Do not rinse.

Step 3 Exfoliants

Gently apply with your fingertips or a cotton pad over the face and neck, including the eye area (avoid lash line and eyelids). Do not rinse. Start slowly: Apply every other day and note your skin's response. Then use up to twice daily.

Step 4 Treatments

Dispense a pearl-sized amount to your hand and apply once or twice daily to the face, neck and eye area.

Step 5 Moisturisers

Use a day moisturiser as the last step in your morning skincare routine and apply liberally at least 15 minutes before stepping into sun exposure. As always, it's best to reapply every two hours once the skin has been exposed to direct sunlight. For a night moisturiser, apply a small amount once or twice daily to the face and neck.

FAQ

Most asked

Why is the CALM Nourishing Milky Toner replacing the CALM Soothing Liquid Toner for oily & combination skin, and the CALM Soothing Gel Toner for normal & dry skin?

We decided to streamline the CALM Collection and to do so, we created one toner that benefits all skin types, the CALM Nourishing Milky Toner, in a lightweight milky texture. Based on newer ingredient research, The CALM Nourishing Milky Toner includes more focused ingredients, that work to instantly hydrate the skin and reduce facial redness such as Panthenol, Marshmallow Root, and Ophiopogon Japonicus Root Extract. These ingredients work within skin to help boost skins natural moisturising factor (NMF). In addition, this toner also contains double the amount of long-proven anti-irritant allantoin.

What is the difference between the CALM Nourishing Milky Toner and other Paula's Choice Toners?

While all Paula’s Choice toners are fragrance-free and loaded with antioxidants, replenishing, restoring and soothing ingredients, the CALM Nourishing Milky Toner was specifically formulated for those with reddened, sensitive or compromised skin. It hydrates and eases discomfort while also addressing the first signs of ageing.

What's the difference between the CALM Nourishing Milky Toner and the SKIN RECOVERY Enriched Calming Toner?

The CALM Nourishing Milky Toner is a specialized formula that offers a robust list of ingredients that soothes and restores the skin's barrier plus visibly reduces redness and sensitivity. Suitable for all skin types, this toner helps to strengthen the skin's barrier, so it becomes less reactive over time. The SKIN RECOVERY Enriched Calming Toner is a great option for those whose primary concern is dry to very dry skin with minor signs of visible ageing. It's a milky, hydrating formula with additional non-fragrant plant oils and emollients that help to nourish and eliminate dry, flaky skin.

Can I use the CALM Nourishing Milky Toner if I have blemish-prone skin?

Yes, the CALM Nourishing Milky toner is a great option for those with oily + acne-prone skin and can be used as a toner or liquid moisturizer. The panthenol, marshmallow (Althaea officinalis) root and Ophiopogon japonicus root extract help improve the skin’s barrier and reduce irritation. Additionally, it contains clinical levels of allantoin which can help fade signs of post-blemish marks.

My skin stays red after cleansing, will the CALM Nourishing Milky Toner instantly reduce the redness in my skin?

Yes, the CALM Nourishing Milky Toner can help visibly reduce redness, assuming you're using a fragrance-free, skin-softening, water-soluble cleanser along with tepid (not too hot or cold) water first. On application, this toner will immediately replenish skin and deliver skin-strengthening and calming ingredients that soothe redness and irritation. With continued use, redness will continue to decrease.
