Toners are useful not only for claming the skin after cleansing ,but for removing every last trace of the cleanser itself . The active ingredient is usually alcohol, the concentration of which varies from product to product, according to the skin type for which it is formulated. Oily skins should opt for an astringent toner ; if you have a skin with oily centre panel you should wipe that zone only with an astringent and use a milder tonic for the drier cheek areas.
Skin ‘fresheners’ contain the least alcohol (sansitive-skin products may in fact contain none at all) and are best for dry skins. Never overdo your toning, though, as it can dry the skin too much. IF you think yours is too strong (your skin tingles say, or comes up in blotches) dilute it with water or use on a premoistened cotton wool ball.

As collagen, elastin, and fat decrease with age, eyelids get droopier. “Genetics determine when your skin will sag and to what extent. “And like any skin aging, sun exposure hastens the effect”. As a result, some women have sagging in thier late 30s.
To the Rescue: No eye cream alone will reverse sagging once the skin begins its downward slide. Only surgery gives you truly long-term improvement. But artfully appiled eye makeup can make drooping lids less noticeable. “The trick is to define the lashline and neutralize the lid. Apply a light, nude-colored shadow ( like cream or mocha, depending on your skin tone) from your lashes to your brow. Next, dip a liner brush, in a gray, brown, or black shadow, and apply colour as close to the base of the top lashes as possible. “Shadow creates a softer, more natural look than a pencil liner. Finish with dark-brown or black mascara.
