Step 2-Tone
Perfecting toner is often a step we skip, but here is a favorite of ours to tone everything just right. Think of toner like a wet sponge being applied to your skin. When your skin is damp it can absorb anything better. Mario Badescu Aloe Vera Toner:

Twice daily after cleansing, apply to skin with a cotton ball or pad. Wipe in sweeping, outward motions until the cotton comes up clean. Avoid eye area. If product gets into eyes, rinse well with water.
Step 3 -Treatments
This step is all about attention to detail. Treatments target specific concerns like blemishes, dull under eyes, and more. Use this step under moisturizer so the treatment can sink in and do its job.
