Think about both of these products as a cool way to energise your skin. If you ever suffered from teenage skin problems, you may have swiped a cotton ball soaked in an alcohol-based liquid that tingled, burned and left your face feeling and looking raw. Those days are over, thankfully.

Today, water lotions and men's face toners are lightweight, liquid lotions that soothe, moisturise and prime skin after facial cleansing.

It’s just another way to supercharge your skincare routine. Our toners for men complete the cleansing process by clearing away residual impurities or residue from your cleanser. Ready for more results? Balancing the appearance of skin and fortifying the barrier as well as priming skin for subsequent treatments by offering light exfoliation are major benefits. Serums and moisturisers for men can better penetrate the skin.​

It’s easy. If you want to use a water lotion or toner for men as part of your face cleansing process, dampen a cotton pad and gently swipe across the surface of skin. Men's toners with salicylic acid will exfoliate skin chemically, but using a cotton pad will also offer light physical exfoliation regardless of what formula of water lotion you use.

Not set on exfoliating? If you don’t need the extra exfoliation, face toners and water lotions for men can be applied without cotton for a boost of hydration.  Pour a small amount into the palm of your hands (coin size) and press into skin. If you are using our DAILY RESCUE WATER LOTION for men, simply apply with a saturated cotton pad after cleansing or shaving every morning and night, or just use throughout the day as a skin refresher.

Always think of men's face toners and water lotions as the second step in your men’s skincare routine. Use after facial cleansing and follow up with an anti-ageing serum or face moisturiser while your skin is still damp with water lotion. The subsequent products will absorb better and deeper. Our toners for men can even be used as aftershave to hydrate and soothe. We recommend our MAX LS SKIN RECHARGING WATER LOTION for men, which tones, refreshes, and soothes skin’s appearance.

Always. While men's water lotions give you that immediate boost of hydration and can fortify the barrier, we suggest following up with a face lotion or moisturiser for men. Consider water lotion the warm-up before your workout.
