REN Daily Tonic
The phrase “daily skin care routine” can sound daunting, like you’re signing up for a whole smattering of products applied painstakingly, morning and night. But it can actually be pretty simple—and this is coming from the grooming editor. Here’s mine. I wash or exfoliate in the shower, then use a serum. At the end of summer, when my skin is looking a little dull from all the sun and sand, I add one more step that is literally 20 seconds: a toner. It’s a thin liquid you apply with a cotton ball and don’t need to wash off. This REN Steady Glow Daily Aha Tonic is a great entry toner if you’ve never tried one before since it’s mild but effective. It contains lactic acid, a natural exfoliant, and oils that give your skin a healthy glow. It smells slightly citrusy, probably owing to the grapefruit and tangerine peel oils. On days that you shave in the morning, apply it in the evening, to avoid skin irritation. — Marjorie Korn, Senior Editor
