A BALANCING ACT

How much is too much? How little is too little? How natural is all natural? How green are Green Tea extracts? While you walk the tightrope with these questions, this Korean brand has already struck the right balance.

WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT?
Innisfree Green Tea Balancing Skin.

TELL ME MORE
It is a moisturizing, nourishing toner that works wonders for my skin. Packed in a sturdy green bottle (no, it’s not a squeezy), this one’s bursting with the goodness of the eco-friendly Jeju green tea. Now, don’t let its consistency fool you. It may feel like a moisturizer but it’s an out and out toner. Its texture is thick but not heavy, yet runny, so it spreads easily. And because it doesn’t drip, you don’t even need cotton wipes! Your thirsty skin will instantly gulp every ounce of it, leaving it airy and light, without any stickiness. It does its job and does not irritate the skin, which is awesome. It’s great for summers and works well for dry and combination skin. But if you’re a victim of oily skin, this one’s a boon. All in all, this toner does an ace job of restoring the skin’s natural balance.

DOES IT SMELL GOOD?
It smells divine. A heady mix of green tea and a hint of floral, the fragrance is just the right amount of fresh. It’s not in-your-face (Oh, there’s a pun!), yet it’s obvious, yet it lingers. The notes are soothing and calm, almost like meditation for your skin. Just one dollop and you’re good to go.

SHOULD I BUY IT?
Yes, you definitely should. For me, it was worth the money, so I’d say, this is a must-have in your skincare routine. You’ll love the way it feels on your skin. And you’ll love how your skin feels. So, go for it!

GIRLY TIP
Although it hydrates and leaves skin dewy fresh, you may need to follow up with a moisturizer if your skin is really, really, dry.
