Toning up with Amala

Here’s a beautifully simple New Year’s resolution. Be good to your skin.

If you don’t already use toner, ring in 2014 by adding a good skin bracer to your routine. Toner whisks away traces of oil or makeup you might have missed. It also helps to tighten your pores, while keeping skin hydrated.

Amala’s Hydrating Toner (MSRP: $48) is a high-quality toner that comforts your skin. It’s especially effective in winter, when harsh, drying winds swirl around us. It keeps skin refreshed without chaffing or reddening.

I’m the sensitive type — at least as far as my skin is concerned — and Amala understands skin that needs a little extra attention. So if you have hesitated to use toner in the past for fear of drying or dulling your skin, not to worry. This toner comforts the skin with jasmine, aloe and other whole plant extracts with antioxidant properties.

Made in Germany, Amala produces a extensive line of cleansers, toners and skin care products made from natural ingredients sourced from fair trade farmers.
