Temple Spa Be Quiet Soothing Milky Toner

Meet BE QUIET, the latest launch from Temple Spa and if you're a fan of the brand, then you are going to love this.  Temple Spa has an amazing toner within its routine already with their GLOWCOLIC Resurfacing Toner but now it has competition!
Temple Spa Be Quiet Soothing Milky Toner
Be QUIET is described as being a Soothing Milky Toner which has been crafted to soften, soothe and hydrate the skin when it's looking and feeling a little over-stressed and sensitive.  Velvety smooth, this toner has a whole host of amazing ingredients which includes:
  • Squalane - hydrates, softens as well as being a natural antioxidant
  • Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) - Repairs, protects and helps to retain moisture
  • Alpine Rose - Reduces inflammation and signs of premature ageing
  • Liquorice - Calms the redness associated with irritated skin.
  • Prebiotics - Supports your microbiome for strong, healthy skin.
As you can see, all of these ingredients are great for supporting sensitive skin, skin which is stressed and it does so whilst helping the skin barrier and generally improving the skin's overall condition.
Temple Spa Be Quiet Soothing Milky Toner
What I really like about this Toner is its texture. It comes packages inside a pump-action bottle which makes it easy to spritz directly onto your skin or, as is my preference, your cotton wool pad (reusable) and avoiding the eye area, sweep the pad across face, neck and then down to décolletage. As you pump it onto the cotton pad, you will notice that this Toner blends between a liquid and lotion and as it does so, it works to instantly settle and calm the skin. Perfect for use in both the morning and evening, it sits into your skincare routine with no effort and my skin drinks this up like I've starved it of moisture!

Priced at just £24 it is perfect for anyone who wants a calm, soothing and nourishing toner.

Erborian Skin Hero

I love a multi-use product and I am a big fan of Erborian, so being introduced to Skin Hero which is a multi-purpose, all-in-one product designed to simplify your skincare routine and provide multiple benefits for your skin, it has my full attention.
Erborian Skin Hero
Described as being a light, non-greasy non-tinted skin perfector which instantly smooths the skin surface and blurs imperfections with micro-powders for a more refined-looking base, it is one of those products you wish you had known about years ago.

Erborian Skin Hero
For me, this products sits somewhere between a moisturiser, skin tint and primer and it has been formulated without silicone but with a blend of natural ingredients such as tiger grass and bamboo extract, it works really well with your existing routine and it can be layered beneath your daily moisturisers and base makeup without disrupting it.

Coming from Erborian, their products always come with a whole host of amazing benefits and Skin Hero is no exception:

KEY BENEFITS

  • Combines innovative K-beauty technology with traditional Korean medicine
  • Silicone-free formula
  • Works to smooth and illuminate bare skin
  • Hydrating formulation plumps skin to help reduce the appearance of fine lines
  • Promotes radiance with gentle exfoliation
  • Antioxidant-rich white ginseng helps to protect skin from pollution damage
Skin Hero has a lightweight gel-like texture which absorbs super quick into the skin and as it does so, it leaves behind a soft, smooth and refreshed feeling skin and that is due to the amazing ingredients it uses - Tiger Grass which is also known as Centella Asiatica is a traditional Korean medicinal herb which is known for its healing properties, not only does it help to calm and soothe the skin but it also helps to reduce redness and inflammation.  Then we have Bamboo Extract which is rich in antioxidants and it helps to strengthen the skin's natural barrier, while also providing hydration. Then also worth a mention is Korean white ginseng complex which works to brighten the skin and it also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, so it helps to protect the skin from damaging free radicals and other environmental aggressors.

For me, this is a go-to product when I am wanting to wear very little on my face, it is great at mattifying, it blurs imperfections, it doesn't make my skin look dehydrated and its such an easy product to use, it is hard to not be obsessed with it.

Aldi Lacura 2% BHA Toner – A Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Toner Dupe?

Did you know that Paula's Choice BHA Toner sells one every 7 seconds? Well it is true and if you haven't tried it yet, then it is one product I always tell people to try, especially if they like other similar branded products. Today in stores, Aldi has launched their latest beauty dupe - the Aldi Lacura 2% BHA Toner, which is said to have been ‘inspired’ by the iconic, bestselling Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Toner!
Aldi Lacura 2% BHA Toner – A Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Toner Dupe?
Priced at just £4.99 for 100ml, the Aldi Lacura 2% BHA Toner is packaged in a very similar looking bottle to the Paula’s Choice BHA Toner with the grey bottle and white lid, the only difference from Aldi is that there is a white bottom on their bottle, but if you're a fan of the iconic Paula's Choice, then this one worth looking out for!
“Specially formulated with Salicylic Acid, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and Methylpropanediol, the new innovative beauty buy is both fragrance-free and vegan-friendly.“
The Aldi Lacura 2% BHA Toner is £4.99 and contains 100ml but the Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant is priced at £34 and contains 118ml, so the price difference could save you a huge 85% or £29 in monetary terms. 

Offering a very gentle and lightweight formula, the BHA Toner promises to effectively remove dead skin for a smoother, clearer, and more luminous complexion and with the inclusion of that much loved BHA ingredient which offers anti-inflammatory properties to help reduce the appearance of breakouts and blackheads, it is a product worth having.


This new Aldi Lacura 2% BHA Toner is, as you would expect from the brand both fragrance-free and vegan-friendly, and is set to launch in stores today alongside some other much loved dupes, include that Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base which I've reviewed here
