Fabbrimarine's Perfectio Face Tonic Lotion — rebalances skin after cleansing and preps it for serum and moisturizer, for a routine that actually works better together.
A toner isn’t a rinse-off afterthought — it rebalances skin’s pH after cleansing (most cleansers, even gentle ones, shift it slightly alkaline) and preps the surface so whatever you apply next absorbs more evenly. Skipping it doesn’t ruin a routine, but including it makes the following steps work better.
Apply immediately after cleansing, while skin is still slightly damp, using a cotton pad or clean hands — sweep it across the face and neck rather than rubbing. It goes on before serum or treatment products, and always before moisturizer.
Morning and evening, as part of the same routine as cleansing — not an occasional extra, but a consistent step that makes the rest of the routine more effective.
