My Experience with Keep Cool and Soothe Toner - 85% Bamboo Water
If you are following me on Instagram then you would know that how much I lover toners. This was first time that I was trying Bamboo Water toner and I had some high expectations from it. Bamboo is a unknown ingredient to suit sensitive skin type well and keep skin hydrated. When I received the product then I had belief that Keep Cool and Soothe Toner - 85% Bamboo Toner would take care of my sensitive skin during hot, humid days.
I like the packaging of the product as they believe in taking care of the environment through their Eco-friendly packaging. What impressed me was that they had taken care of minute things like not using regular ink that is harmful and using Soy Ink that is made by soybeans and is an environmental friendly option.
The first few days, it felt like I was applying normal water (toner) on my face and it kept my skin hydrated. After using the toner twice for 7 days, I could see that my skin was visibly better. I noticed this difference when I was shooting a video and my face looked nice without makeup. And trust me I shot the video like that (just applied lipstick, nothing else). This is the time when my belief and hope for the product was coming true. Next few days were very humid and my skin suffers during this weather but...
Keep Cool and Soothe Toner with 85% Bamboo Water took care of my skin and my skin was much calmer during the humid days. I could see that my skin was healthier (as I was following complete skincare routine and was drinking enough water as well).
My combination sensitive skin wasn't dry any more and neither my body was warm (usually my skin is warm during hot weather, heat that can be felt). So, this time I believed that Keep Cool toner serves the purpose to keep skin cooler and calmer. With regular usage it also keeps the pH balance in control that is why occurrence of oil over T-zone area also reduces. So, if you are looking for skincare product that keeps your skin cool in hot weather then try Keep Cool and Soothe Toner - 85% Bamboo Water.
I use Keep Cool and Soothe Toner in different ways:
1. I use it as second cleanser to wipe off remaining residue after cleansing face.
2. I mix it with face pack to add some cooling effect to my face.
3. I use it after makeup removing step to instantly calm my skin.
4. I mix 2-3 drops of Keep Cool Toner in serum or essence to reduce the heating effect during massaging serum or essence on the skin.
