Charlette, I agree with you that some toners are very hydrating and benefit skin, especially if it’s dry/dehydrated and in need of the extra moisture. But I’d argue they’re not a necessity as they’re not something everyone absolutely needs, like sunscreen or cleanser.

But, there are some ‘Toners’ (maybe they’re not REALLY Toners?) rich in HA, Niacinamide, Panthenol which are nice to use prior to adding moisturizer. Sometimes in the summer, I especially like them as the RIGHT Toner can almost replace moisturizer on those very hot/humid days.

Annette, I thought of adding eye creams, but decided against it because I think that in some cases a separate eye creams can be useful. But most of them are just face moisturizers in a smaller jar indeed. Also agree on foot scrubs. 🙂

I would also add foot scrubs. They may feel nice but they only thing that can shift that dead skin on your feet is Urea as it breaks down the cells of the stratum corneum. Good foot creams like Gehwol have synthetic urea.

Rbaral, I guess there are situations when face mists may be handy, but I don’t see them as a necessary part of a daily skincare routine. And certainly it isn’t necessary to buy one. I agree, you can make it yourself.

They moisturize just enough to Take the edge off the ‘tights” but don’t screw up your makeup (if you fly for business, you’re wearing makeup, don’t fool yourself).

You’re spot on re the cost though. Water, a humectant, and a fine spray nozzle are the only things you really need. Frankly, you can make them yourself.
